27 Feb The Enduring Appeal And Versatility Of Featheredge Boards

Featheredge boards are a type of fencing board made from pressure-treated timber. These feather edge fencing and cladding boards are commonly used to create fences and garden walls, but their versatility means they can be used for many other applications too. Let’s discuss the enduring appeal of featheredge boards, and explore why they are so popular with buyers.

A Popular Choice

As a leading south west timber supplier, we know that featheredge boards are an increasingly popular choice for both fencing and cladding projects. They offer a number of benefits over traditional sawn boards, including improved strength, durability and a more attractive finish.

What Are Featheredge Boards?

Featheredge boards are sawn from spruce timber and are thicker on one end than the other, giving them a tapered shape. They are commonly used for fencing and cladding in the construction industry. When installed vertically, overlapping each other, featheredge boards create a durable, weather-resistant barrier that can withstand heavy winds and rain.

High Quality Featheredge Boards From At Brookridge Timber

At Brookridge Timber, a leading Somerset timber supplier, we offer a wide range of high quality featheredge boards that are perfect for a variety of different applications. Our boards are sawn from UK spruce and are manufactured to ensure that every board is of equal size, making them easier to work with and construct.

Strength

One of the main benefits of timber featheredge is its strength. When used in conjunction with our range of pine posts and rails, they create a sturdy and reliable fence that can cope with heavy winds and other stresses. This is especially important for agricultural fencing, where livestock can put a great deal of pressure on the fence.

Add Gravel Board

As a south west timber supplier, we know that to further increase the lifespan of your featheredge fence, we recommend adding a 25 x 150mm gravel board at the base and a rebated capping to the top of the boards. This will help to protect the boards from moisture, which can cause them to rot over time, as well as preventing water from getting into the joints between the boards.

Pressure Treated Feather Edge Boards

Another important aspect of our featheredge boards is the pressure treatment that they undergo. We offer a variety of pressure treatments through our factory controlled ISO 9001 audited process, which greatly extends the service life of the boards by protecting them from wood decay and insect attack. Our high pressure treatment process for Featheredge is green in colour ex stock, but we can offer a brown treated product to order. This whole process is carried out to meet the User Class requirements of BS8417, the industry code of practice for the preservative treatment of timber.

By using our pressure treated featheredge boards, you can be sure that your fence will last for many years to come, even in harsh outdoor environments. The treatment also means that the boards require less maintenance over time, saving you both time and money.

Sustainable Feather Edge Boards

All of our featheredge boards come from sustainable sources and come with either FSC® or PEFC Certification. This means that you can be confident that your fencing or cladding project is environmentally friendly and meets the highest standards of sustainability.

Naturally Good Looking And Durable

In addition to being strong and durable, featheredge boards also offer a more attractive finish than traditional sawn boards. The tapered shape of the boards creates a natural-looking, overlapping effect that is both stylish and functional. This can be especially important for cladding projects, where the appearance of the finished product is a key consideration.
