Closeboard Garden Fencing in East Grinstead and Surrounding Areas

Closeboard fencing is one of the most popular types of garden fencing across East Grinstead and the surrounding towns. Hand-built on site from overlapping featheredge boards fixed to robust rails and posts, it provides a strong, private and long-lasting fence that looks smart in almost any garden. At Green Leaves Fencing & Gates, we design and install closeboard garden fencing for homeowners who want reliable security, excellent privacy and workmanship that is accurate, tidy and built to last from a local fencing company in East Grinstead.

What Is Closeboard Fencing?

Closeboard fencing is constructed from vertical featheredge boards that overlap each other and are fixed to horizontal arris rails, which are supported by strong posts. This creates a solid run of fencing with no gaps, making it ideal where privacy and security are apriority. Because it is built in situ, closeboard fencing is highly adaptable – perfect for sloping gardens, awkward corners and a mix of fence heights along the boundary.

Benefits of Closeboard Fencing

Strong and long-lasting

The overlapping boards and sturdy framework make closeboard fencing one of the strongest options available. It stands up well to strong winds and challenging weather, particularly in more exposed locations.

Excellent privacy and security

With no gaps between the boards, closeboard fencing provides a continuous, secure barrier. It is ideal for families with children or pets, and for anyone who wants peace of mind in the garden.

Weather protection with capping as standard

We always install a pressure-treated capping rail along the top of our closeboard fences. This helps shed water, reduces the risk of rot and gives a neat, finished appearance.

Flexible heights

Closeboard can be built at different heights, from lower runs that simply define the boundary to taller fences that increase privacy and security around the whole garden.

Practical to repair

If an individual board or rail is ever damaged, it can be replaced without removing the whole fence line, making closeboard a practical long-term choice.

Our Recommendation: Timber Closeboard with Galvanised Steel Posts

For the best balance of strength, durability and appearance, we recommend timber closeboard fencing with face-fix galvanised steel posts. The pressure-treated boards and rails provide a traditional timber look, while galvanised posts offer superior protection at ground level, where timber posts are most vulnerable. If you prefer an all-timber fence, we also install closeboard fencing with timber posts and smart round-topped or domed posts for an attractive finish.
