A well-built fence does more than mark the edge of a property. It provides privacy, security and an attractive backdrop for the garden—and the quality of the materials makes all the difference.

This recent project in Ingleby Barwick involved a new dividing fence together with fencing across the rear boundary. The finished fence stands 6 ft high and uses a traditional closed-board design, giving the garden a neat, consistent appearance while creating excellent privacy.

Why choose closed-board fencing?

Closed-board fencing is a popular choice for residential gardens because it combines strength with a timeless appearance. The boards overlap to form a solid barrier, helping to reduce gaps and unwanted views into the garden.

It is a particularly practical option when you want:

• greater privacy between neighbouring properties;
• a strong and secure garden boundary;
• a fence that can follow the shape of the garden;
• a traditional style that suits many types of home; and
• individual components that can be repaired if damage occurs in future.

Extra strength from 4×4 posts

For this installation, substantial 4×4 timber posts were used to give the fence extra strength and support. Good-quality posts are fundamental to the performance of any fence, especially on long boundary runs that are exposed to the weather.

Choosing the right posts, boards, rails and fixings at the start helps produce a straighter, stronger fence and supports a longer service life.

Planning a new garden fence?

If your existing fence is damaged, no longer offers enough privacy or simply needs updating, closed-board fencing could be an excellent solution. Measure the boundary carefully, consider the height and exposure of the site, and select materials strong enough for the intended location.
