The Benefits of Closeboard Fence Panels

Outstanding Strength and Stability

The closeboard construction method gives these panels their signature strength. The overlapping vertical boards help disperse wind and impact, while the sturdy rails provide support across the back. Whether you're installing fencing in an exposed rural field or a windy back garden, closeboard panels provide dependable durability.

At Suregreen, we also offer heavy-duty options with thicker timbers and reinforced construction for even greater resilience.

Exceptional Privacy and Security

If privacy is a priority, closeboard fencing is ideal. With no gaps between the boards, they create a completely solid barrier, preventing anyone from seeing in and keeping pets and children safely enclosed. They also provide a deterrent to intruders and wildlife—perfect for protecting gardens, livestock areas, and boundaries.

Made by Us, for You

At Origin Suregreen, we manufacture our closeboard fence panels ourselves—right here in the UK. Our skilled team assembles each panel by hand, ensuring high quality across every board, nail, and rail.

By keeping manufacturing in-house, we’re able to:

Maintain full control over quality and consistency
Respond quickly to bulk orders and trade requests
Ensure each panel meets UK fencing standards
Support local jobs and reduce supply chain miles

This isn’t generic, imported fencing—we stand behind every panel we make.

Sustainable and Pressure-Treated Timber

We’re committed to sustainability, which is why we only use responsibly sourced timber from well-managed forests. All of our closeboard fence panels are also pressure-treated in either brown or green preservative—helping to protect against rot, fungal decay, and insect damage.

The treatment gives the timber a long-lasting lifespan, making it ideal for permanent installations in all weather conditions.

Flexible Sizing and Installation Options

We offer a variety of panel sizes to suit your project, whether you’re replacing an existing fence or starting from scratch. With standard and heavy-duty variations, you can choose the right panel based on the location, exposure, and desired look.

Our panels are also compatible with concrete or timber posts, gravel boards, and fencing accessories—making them easy to install in a wide range of environments.

Easy Maintenance and Repair

Thanks to their modular design, closeboard panels are easy to maintain and repair. If one featheredge board becomes damaged, it can be replaced without having to remove the entire panel. This means your fence stays looking good—and functioning well—for years to come.
