Feather Edge Wooden Fencing

   A Feather edge fence project before and after

   

This week one of our customers has installed a Feather edge wooden garden fence in a home in Swansea South Wales, as you can see the perimeter of the house has been transformed offering added security and privacy to the home owner.

 

So you may be thinking what exactly is feather edge Fencing and what makes it different ?

What makes this style of fencing different is that it doesn’t come standard in a fence panel form it has to be actually constructed on site using the individual wooden components.

So why would I use feather edge wooden fencing over conventional fencing panels ?

The answer to this question is quite simple “ Strength “.

The main reason that feather edge fencing has become so popular is the added durability that it offers. The most popular style of fencing that was used before feather edge became available was a “Standard waney edge Fencing panel system” only to find that after five or six years the Panels become worn out or even need to be replaced. With feather edge fencing this isnt the case as long as the boards are maintained on a regular basis using an oil based preserver they will go on year after year with very little maintenance.

Benefits of feather edge fencing over Waney edge Panels.

• Feather edge fencing is Stronger.
• Feather edge fencing can be constructed to the length of the individual garden.
• Easier to maintain and treat.
• Feather edge boards can be shaped or angle to improve esthetic appeal.
• Boards can be cut to allow for uneven ground.
• Fence height can be adjusted easily to suit individual customer requirements.
• Posts can be spaced further apart saving cost and time.

I am sure that you will agree that the before and after photos of the garden have offered a lot more security and privacy to the home owner. Another great job from Martin and the boys.

Our opinion of Feather edge Fencing

By far this is the fence of choice if you require durability and a high level of privacy. The cost of purchasing the materials to make a feather edge board fence is similar to that of fencing panels. With the added benefits of a far superior fence.

On the down side esthetically feather edge may not be quite as pleasing to the eye and will also take a little longer to construct however in my opinion the pros far outweigh the cons.
