Featheredge & Closeboard Fencing In
Pontypool & South Wales

Featheredge fencing, also known as closeboard fencing, is a superior choice for the exposed slopes found throughout Torfaen. Unlike standard lap panels, which can be brittle and prone to blowing out in high winds, featheredge is constructed from overlapping vertical timber boards. This design creates a robust, cohesive structure that redirects wind rather than catching it. For gardens on the steep hillsides of Pontypool or the wind-exposed outskirts of Newport, this build quality is essential. Because every board is fixed individually, the fence has enough natural movement to endure stormy conditions without failing, making it the most reliable solution for property owners who value durability over quick, flimsy fixes.

Quality fencing is about more than just the panels; it is about the foundation and the internal structure. We construct every fence using high-grade, pressure-treated timber to resist decay in our damp Welsh climate. Our process involves securing high-strength posts deep into the ground using high-quality concrete to ensure stability, even in saturated soil. We utilise sturdy arris rails and notched posts to provide a solid frame, while timber or concrete gravel boards are installed at the base to protect the vertical boards from direct ground contact and moisture ingress. By focusing on these technical details, we build fences that stay straight and strong, providing you with long-term privacy and security.

For customers seeking the ultimate in structural longevity, we act as a trusted installer of the Birkdale DuraPost system. These cold-rolled galvanised steel posts offer a distinct advantage over traditional timber, especially in the wet clay soils often found in South Wales. They are engineered to be lightweight yet strong enough to withstand winds up to 110mph, meaning they will not rot, warp, or crack like wooden posts. Because they are slimmer than concrete, they are also an excellent choice for tight, narrow, or sloping gardens where space is at a premium. Choosing a steel-post system provides peace of mind that your fence will remain upright even after the most severe autumn gales.

When we replace your old garden fencing, we take care of the entire process from start to finish. We know that dealing with heavy, rotten timber is a common headache for homeowners. As a company holding a full Upper Tier Waste Carrier Licence, we are fully authorised to remove and dispose of all garden debris, old panels, and rubble. We ensure that every load is taken to approved South Wales transfer stations, adhering strictly to environmental regulations. You will never have to worry about illegal fly-tipping or being left with a pile of mess; our team leaves your garden clean, clear, and ready for your new boundary installation.
