6' x 4' Feather Edge Pressure Treated Wooden Fence Panel

What Are 6x4 Feather Edge Fence Panels? 

6x4 Feather Edge Fence Panels are robust, pre-assembled timber fencing units, measuring 6ft wide by 4ft high, designed to replicate the traditional 'closeboard' style.

They are constructed using vertical, tapered softwood boards (feather edge) that overlap securely, fixed onto sturdy horizontal backing rails. This method creates a strong, completely solid, gap-free barrier, ensuring excellent privacy and durability. 

Fully pressure treated for essential long-lasting protection against rot, decay, and insect attack, these panels offer a classic and reliable boundary solution.

Applications

These 4ft high feather edge panels are perfectly suited for:

• Front Garden Boundaries: Providing a smart, strong, and reasonably low-height boundary.
• Rear Garden Perimeters: Where a lower fence height is desired or permitted.
• Dividing Areas within Gardens: Creating distinct zones or screening specific sections.
• Alongside Driveways or Paths: Marking edges clearly and robustly.
• Compatibility: Designed for installation between timber fence posts (UC4 treated) using screws or panel clips, or integration into standard slotted concrete post systems.

Benefits

• Superior Strength & Wind Resistance: The robust construction featuring multiple backing rails and thick, overlapping vertical boards provides excellent rigidity and resistance to wind load and physical impact, significantly outperforming basic lap panels.
• Complete Visual Privacy: The solid, gap-free design created by the overlapping boards ensures total privacy for your garden or property.
• Proven Long-Term Durability: Comprehensive pressure treatment impregnates the timber with preservatives, providing effective, long-lasting protection against rot, fungal decay, and wood-boring insect attack, ensuring a lengthy service life.
• Classic & Premium Aesthetic: Delivers the enduring, high-quality appearance of a traditional site-built closeboard fence in a convenient, ready-to-install panel format.
• Low Maintenance Preservation: The industrial pressure treatment means no annual re-treatment is necessary to maintain the timber's resistance to rot. Basic cleaning is sufficient for upkeep.
• Installation Efficiency: Pre-assembled panels allow for significantly faster fence erection compared to building a closeboard fence from individual components on site.

Maintenance & Finishing Recommendations

• Preservation: The pressure treatment provides long-term protection against rot and insects; no further preservative treatment is required.
• Cleaning: To maintain appearance, panels can be cleaned annually with a brush to remove surface dirt, algae, or cobwebs. A gentle wash with mild detergent is possible if needed.
• Appearance Over Time: The initial treatment colour (Green or Brown) will naturally fade over time with exposure to UV light, typically weathering to a silvery grey.
• Optional Finishing: If desired, the panels can be painted or stained after allowing them to weather for several months (this allows the initial treatment chemicals to settle). Use only products specifically designed for pressure-treated timber. Any cut ends of rails or capping should be treated with an end-grain preservative.
