Closeboard Fencing – FAQs

What are the key benefits of Closeboard fencing?

Closeboard fencing provides a traditional, solid timber boundary that offers privacy, noise reduction, and a natural appearance. It’s ideal for schools, housing developments, and landscaped areas.

Is Closeboard suitable for my site or application?

Yes. It’s widely used where visual screening and privacy are important. Commonly seen in school grounds, housing boundaries, and sensitive public areas.

What sizes and specifications are available for Closeboard?

Panels are typically available in heights from 1.5m to 2.1m, with pressure-treated timber and optional capping rails. Custom-built bays can be constructed on site.

How secure is Closeboard fencing?

Closeboard offers good visual and physical privacy. While not designed as a high-security barrier, it creates a strong and defined perimeter with a softer, natural look.

Does Closeboard require regular maintenance?

As a timber product, it benefits from periodic treatment or staining to prolong life. We recommend annual inspections and maintenance to prevent weathering or timber movement.
