We work with all the main styles of timber garden fencing. Here is an overview of each and where it tends to work best.
Feather edge fencing, sometimes called featherboard fencing, is one of the most robust and long-lasting timber fence styles available. It is constructed from overlapping tapered timber boards fixed vertically to horizontal rails, creating a solid, close-boarded fence with no gaps and excellent resistance to wind loading.
Feather edge fencing is the preferred choice where strength and durability are priorities — exposed garden boundaries, longer fence runs, or properties in areas subject to strong winds. It also provides complete privacy, making it a popular choice for rear gardens across West London.
All feather edge boards and rails we install are pressure treated to protect against rot and extend the lifespan of the fence. We set posts in concrete to the correct depth for the fence height, ensuring the structure is stable and properly anchored.
Enquire About Feather Edge FencingCloseboard fencing and feather edge fencing are closely related and the terms are often used interchangeably. In its purest form, closeboard fencing uses vertical overlapping featherboard timber fixed to arris rails mortised directly into timber or concrete posts, producing an exceptionally strong and durable boundary fence.
Closeboard fencing is well suited to longer garden boundaries and exposed positions, and is one of the most wind-resistant timber fence styles available. It is a particularly good choice where the fence needs to double as a privacy screen and a robust structural boundary. We carry out closeboard fencing installation across Hayes and West London using quality pressure-treated timber throughout.
Enquire About Closeboard FencingTimber fence panels offer a faster installation than board-on-board styles and come in a wide range of designs, heights, and price points, making them the most popular choice for standard garden fencing across West London. Common panel styles include overlap, waney lap, lattice top, and tongue and groove, each offering a different aesthetic and level of privacy.
We supply and fit timber fence panels from reputable manufacturers using quality pressure-treated timber. Panels are fitted to pressure-treated timber or concrete posts set correctly in concrete. Whether you need a replacement for an existing panel run or a new fence from scratch, we quote transparently and carry out the work neatly and efficiently.
Enquire About Timber Fence PanelsWooden garden fences cover the full spectrum of domestic timber fencing — from simple post-and-rail arrangements for open garden borders to fully boarded privacy fences for rear gardens and side passages. We discuss your requirements at the quoting stage and recommend the style that best suits your garden layout, your privacy needs, and your budget.
For gardens with changes in level or irregular boundaries, we can advise on the best approach to ensure the fence follows the ground line neatly and looks right from both sides. We handle all aspects of the installation, including removal and disposal of the old fence where a replacement is required.
Get a Quote for Wooden Garden FencingEvery piece of timber we install is pressure treated as standard. This is not a premium add-on — it is the baseline for any timber fencing work we carry out, because untreated or poorly treated timber degrades significantly faster in the British climate, leading to rot, post failure, and a fence that requires repair or replacement far sooner than it should.
Pressure treatment forces preservative deep into the timber fibres under controlled pressure, protecting against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack from the inside out. The result is a fence that performs consistently for many years with minimal maintenance, compared to timber that has only been surface treated or dip coated.
When you invest in timber fencing with Gardiner Fencing Services, you are investing in a fence built to last. We do not compromise on this regardless of budget, because a fence that fails in three years is not a bargain — it is a false economy.
We manage every wooden fencing installation from start to finish. Here is what to expect when you work with Gardiner Fencing Services.
We visit your property, measure the fence run, assess any ground conditions or access considerations, and discuss your style and budget preferences. We then provide a detailed written quote covering all materials and labour. No hidden extras, no vague estimates.
We supply all materials ourselves. All timber is pressure treated. Posts, rails, boards or panels, concrete, fixings, and any gravel boards or capping are included in the job. You do not need to source anything separately.
Where a replacement fence is required, we remove and dispose of the existing fence as part of the job. This is included in the quote unless otherwise specified.
Posts are set in concrete at the correct depth for the fence height and style. This is the foundation of a fence that stands straight and stays standing. We do not cut corners at this stage regardless of the size of the job.
Panels or boards are fitted to the correct height and alignment, with gravel boards used at the base where appropriate to prevent ground contact and extend the lifespan of the lower sections. Fence caps are fitted to post tops to shed water and reduce rot at the most exposed points.
We leave the site clean and tidy when the job is done. All waste material from the installation is removed and disposed of responsibly.
The right timber fence for your garden depends on your priorities. If strength, longevity, and full privacy are the main requirements, feather edge or closeboard fencing is the most durable option. If you want a quicker installation and a range of style options at a lower cost, timber fence panels offer excellent value. We discuss your garden layout, exposure, and budget at the quoting stage and recommend the style that will perform best for your specific situation.
Yes. Every piece of timber we install — posts, rails, boards, and panels — is pressure treated as standard. This is not an optional upgrade. Pressure treatment is the baseline for every timber fencing job we carry out because it is the only way to ensure the fence performs reliably over many years in the British climate.
The two terms are closely related and are often used interchangeably. Both styles use overlapping vertical tapered timber boards to create a solid, close-boarded fence with no gaps. The main distinction is in how the rails are attached: closeboard fencing traditionally uses arris rails mortised into the posts, while feather edge fencing uses a similar construction with slight variations in rail fixing. Both produce an exceptionally strong and durable timber fence well suited to exposed boundaries and full-privacy garden screening.
Properly installed pressure-treated timber fencing typically lasts 15 to 25 years depending on the style, the exposure of the site, and how well it is maintained. Post-and-panel fences with quality pressure-treated timber and correctly set concrete posts at the lower end of that range, feather edge and closeboard construction at the higher end. We can advise on the expected lifespan and any maintenance recommendations for the style you choose.
We supply everything. All timber, posts, rails, panels or boards, concrete, fixings, gravel boards, and fence caps are included in our service. You do not need to source materials separately.
