Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between close board panels and on-site feather edge fencing?
Traditional on-site close board fencing uses morticed posts and horizontal rails with vertical feather edge boards nailed continuously along the run. Close board panels are heavy-duty framed panels built with vertical feather edge boards to slot into concrete H-posts.
Should I choose concrete posts or timber posts for close board fencing in St Albans?
Concrete posts paired with concrete gravel boards offer the longest lifespan in Hertfordshire clay soil because concrete cannot rot at ground level.
