Closeboard fencing, also known as feather edge fencing, is a traditional fencing method that provides excellent privacy and security for gardens, boundaries, and site work. Unlike panel fencing, closeboard fencing is built on site as a continuous run of vertical featheredge boards fixed to horizontal rails. Recessed concrete posts are designed with horizontal channels that securely hold the timber rails used in closeboard fencing. Once the rails are in place, featheredge boards are fixed vertically to create a solid, seamless fence line. This system allows the fence to follow sloping or uneven ground while maintaining a consistent appearance. Concrete gravel boards are commonly used at ground level alongside recessed concrete posts. They help protect the timber boards from moisture, rot, and ground contact, significantly extending the lifespan of the fencing and reducing ongoing maintenance. Compared to timber posts, recessed concrete posts will not rot, warp, or twist, making them ideal for exposed locations and long boundary runs. This makes them a popular choice for residential fencing, commercial projects, agricultural use, and new build developments where durability and reliability are essential. When combined, recessed concrete posts and gravel boards create a strong, low-maintenance closeboard fencing system that delivers long-term performance in all weather conditions.
