    Closeboarding Installation For a traditional and robust closeboarding installation, we recommend using morticed 4x4 wooden posts. Alternatively, plain 4x4 posts can be employed with motorway rails attached to the front, followed by boarding. This method ensures the posts remain hidden on the boarded side.

    Panel Options When opting for Waney Lap Panels, 3x3 wooden posts are an excellent choice due to their lighter weight. For decorative panels or the timeless picket fence, we suggest plain 4x4 wooden posts for enhanced stability.

    Hit and Miss Fencing Installation Hit and Miss fencing offers a perfect balance of privacy and airflow. We recommend using sturdy 4x4 wooden posts for this style. The unique alternating board pattern can be achieved using vertical or horizontal boards, depending on your preference.

    Post and Rail Fencing Installation For a classic, rustic look, Post and Rail fencing is an excellent choice. We typically use 5" or 6" round or square posts, with 3-4 horizontal rails depending on the desired height. This style is perfect for defining boundaries in rural or semi-rural settings.


    Gravel Boards Consider incorporating gravel boards to enhance your fence's longevity and aesthetics. Available in 6-inch height and 10-foot length, these versatile boards can be customised to complement any fencing style.
