Closeboard fencing uses vertical boards nailed or screwed to horizontal arris rails between posts. Boards meet edge to edge, giving a solid face without the gaps found in lap panels. It is widely used on rear boundaries in York for privacy on terraced and semi-detached plots.
Construction details
Posts are typically 100 mm × 100 mm for runs up to 1.8 m, set in concrete. Gravel boards protect the bottom of the boards from soil contact on clay-heavy ground. Capping rail optional.
Compare with feather edge fencing, where boards overlap rather than meet flush.
