18 Jul 5 Benefits of Featheredge Timber Fencing
In recent years, with the need for natural and sustainable materials, featheredge timber fencing is becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners and businesses alike. There are a number of reasons for this, but here are five of the most important benefits.
What is featheredge?
We are Somerset featheredge supplier. Featheredge fencing is a type of fence that is made up of featheredge fence boards and a range of pine posts and rails. The boards are placed next to each other and overlap, with the top board extending slightly over the bottom board. This overlap helps to give the fence strength and stability. Our featheredge boards are sawn from UK spruce and are manufactured to ensure every board is of equal size for ease of construction. Featheredge fences are a popular choice for garden boundaries, as they provide privacy and security without obstructing views.
1. Featheredge fencing is incredibly strong and durable – it can last for many years without needing any maintenance or repair work.
As a timber fencing supplier in the southwest, we know that not only is featheredge a structurally strong design, with each board supporting the other, but our pressure treatments (through its factory controlled ISO 9001 audited process) extend the service life of our featheredge timber boards by treating them to user class 3 protecting it from wood decay and insect attack. This means that they are even more durable, meaning greater value for money for you and your customers.
2. It is a very attractive fencing option, adding value to your property in the process.
Featheredge fencing is a popular choice for many homeowners because it has a classic look that never goes out of style. The featheredge wooden fence boards are cut at an angle, so they overlap slightly when installed. This creates a featheredge effect that gives the fence a clean, finished look, enhancing the appearance of property looking out and looking in. In addition, featheredge boards are thick, so they are more durable and less likely to warp or crack over time. As a result, featheredge fencing is an excellent choice for those who want a good-looking fence that will last for years to come. What’s more, all of our featheredge boards come from sustainable sources and come with either FSC® or PEFC Certification.
3. It is very affordable – much cheaper than traditional metal or concrete fencing options.
This is particularly attractive if you need a timber fencing option that is going to look good as well as extend right along a garden.
4. It is relatively easy and fast to install.
