Close Board Fencing Gloucester
Close board fencing — sometimes called feather edge fencing — is one of the most popular and hardwearing choices for residential properties across Gloucestershire, and for good reason. It’s built from overlapping vertical feather edge boards fixed to horizontal arris rails, which are in turn supported by sturdy posts set into the ground. The overlapping design means there are no gaps to see through, making it one of the best options available for privacy and security.
Unlike panel fencing, close board fencing is built board by board on site, which means it can be tailored to uneven ground and awkward gradients far more easily. It also tends to last considerably longer than standard panels because if individual boards become damaged or start to rot, they can be replaced without touching the rest of the fence. When properly installed with treated timber and concrete posts, a close board fence should give you 15 to 20 years of solid performance with minimal maintenance.
It’s a particularly popular choice for back garden boundaries, side access runs and anywhere you want a robust, private boundary that looks neat and tidy from both sides. We install close board fencing to all heights across Gloucester and Gloucestershire, using properly treated timber throughout.
Ideal for: Back gardens, side access, properties with sloping ground, anywhere privacy is a priority.
Panel Fencing Gloucester
Timber panel fencing is the most widely used fencing type in domestic gardens across the UK, and it remains a reliable, cost-effective choice for the majority of straightforward boundary jobs. Panels come in a range of heights — typically from 3ft up to 6ft — and are available in several styles including overlap, hit and miss, lattice top and trellis top, so there’s usually a style to suit both the look of your home and how you want to use your garden.
Panels are fixed between posts — either concrete or timber — and once in place they give you a clean, uniform boundary that’s quick to install and easy to maintain. They work best on level or gently sloping ground and are a particularly practical choice if you want a straightforward, tidy fence without unnecessary fuss or expense.
We supply and install quality timber panels across Gloucester and Gloucestershire, making sure every post is set properly and every panel is fixed securely and level. A well-installed panel fence, with posts concreted in and capping rails fitted on top, will give you many years of good service.
Ideal for: Standard residential gardens, straightforward level boundaries, cost-effective installations.
Feather Edge Fencing Gloucester
Feather edge fencing is the individual board version of close board fencing and is often used interchangeably with the term — but it’s worth understanding what makes it stand apart. Each feather edge board is sawn so that one edge is thicker than the other, and when the boards are overlapped vertically along the arris rails, you get a strong, solid fence face with no gaps and excellent rigidity.
Because it’s constructed on site rather than arriving as a pre-made panel, feather edge fencing adapts naturally to changes in ground level, making it the go-to choice for sloping gardens where panel fencing would leave awkward stepped gaps at the base. The result is a fence that follows the contour of the ground cleanly and neatly, without compromising on privacy or security.
Feather edge fencing is a robust, long-lasting choice that looks smart from both sides — which matters when you’re sharing a boundary with a neighbour. We use properly pressure-treated boards and posts throughout, which significantly extends the life of the fence and reduces the maintenance you’ll need to carry out over the years.
Ideal for: Sloping gardens, shared boundaries, properties wanting a clean finish on both sides.
Post & Rail Fencing Gloucester
Post and rail fencing takes a completely different approach to close board or panel options — rather than creating a solid barrier, it uses horizontal rails fixed between upright posts to create an open, defined boundary. It’s a traditional style that’s been used across the British countryside for centuries, and it remains a practical and attractive choice for a wide range of properties today.
It’s particularly well suited to larger gardens, rural properties, paddocks and front boundary runs where you want to clearly define the edge of your land without blocking light, views or the natural feel of the space. Post and rail fencing is also a popular choice for properties that keep animals, as it can be combined with wire mesh or electric fencing to make a secure enclosure.
We install post and rail fencing in two-rail and three-rail configurations depending on the height and purpose required, using properly treated softwood or hardwood posts and rails for longevity. It’s a practical, unfussy style of fencing that suits both modern and traditional properties and requires very little maintenance once it’s in place.
Ideal for: Large gardens, rural plots, paddocks, front boundaries, properties with animals.
Picket Fencing Gloucester
Picket fencing is a classic, characterful style that brings an immediately warm and welcoming feel to the front of a property. The distinctive upright pickets — either with flat, pointed or decorative shaped tops — fixed to horizontal rails between posts create a low, open boundary that defines the garden without closing it off from the street.
It’s most commonly used for front garden boundaries, cottage-style gardens and low decorative runs alongside pathways or driveways. While it doesn’t offer the same level of privacy or security as close board or panel fencing, that’s rarely what it’s intended for — picket fencing is as much about appearance and kerb appeal as it is about marking a boundary.
We install timber picket fencing in a range of heights and picket styles to suit the character of your home. It can be left natural and treated with a wood preservative, or painted in any colour you choose — white being the most popular for that classic look. Either way, a well-installed picket fence is a lovely finishing touch to the front of any home in Gloucestershire.
Ideal for: Front gardens, cottage-style properties, low decorative boundaries, driveways.
Trellis Fencing Gloucester
Trellis fencing sits slightly apart from the other styles on this list because it’s often used as much for aesthetics and planting as it is for boundary definition. The lattice or diamond pattern framework is ideal for climbing plants — roses, clematis, wisteria and ivy all take to trellis beautifully — and over time a well-planted trellis fence can become one of the most attractive features of any garden.
Trellis panels can be used as standalone fence runs at lower heights, or fitted on top of existing close board or panel fencing to add height, privacy and a softer visual effect without making the fence feel heavy or imposing. They’re also commonly used to divide sections within a garden, screen off utility areas like bin stores or compost heaps, or create a more decorative backdrop to a seating area or patio.
We install trellis fencing and trellis topper panels across Gloucester and Gloucestershire, in both square and diamond lattice patterns and a range of timber sizes. Whether you want a standalone trellis run or topper sections added to existing fencing, we’ll make sure everything is properly fixed, level and built to last.
Ideal for: Climbing plants, garden dividers, adding height to existing fences, decorative screening.
Acoustic Fencing Gloucester
For properties near busy roads, commercial premises or other sources of significant noise, acoustic fencing offers a meaningful reduction in the amount of sound that enters your garden or outdoor space. It works by using dense, heavy timber boards — typically much thicker than standard fence boards — which absorb and deflect sound waves rather than allowing them to pass straight through.
Acoustic fencing won’t eliminate noise entirely, but when properly installed with no gaps and solid posts, it can make a noticeable difference to how comfortable and usable your garden feels. It’s particularly popular with homeowners whose properties back onto main roads, industrial estates or commercial areas, and it can also be useful for reducing the noise that leaves your garden — useful if you have a hot tub, home studio or outdoor entertaining area.
We supply and install acoustic fencing panels across Gloucester and Gloucestershire for both residential and commercial properties. If noise is an issue in your garden and you’d like to discuss whether acoustic fencing would help, we’re happy to come out and take a look.
Ideal for: Properties near busy roads, commercial areas, properties where noise reduction is a priority.
Gate Installation Gloucester
A quality gate completes a boundary properly and makes a real difference to both the security and the appearance of your property. We supply and install timber gates for driveways, side access runs and garden entrances, built to match or complement your existing or new fencing so that the whole boundary works as one cohesive, well-finished piece.
We install both single and double driveway gates, pedestrian side gates and garden entrance gates, in a range of styles from close board and framed to ledged and braced and decorative designs. All gates are hung on properly set posts with good quality hardware — hinges, latches and locks that are built for outdoor use and won’t let you down after six months.
Whether you’re replacing an old gate that’s dropped, rotted or just seen better days, or having a new gate installed as part of a fencing project, we’ll make sure it’s hung straight, opens and closes smoothly and is built to last.
Ideal for: Driveway entrances, side access gates, garden entrances, completing a new boundary.
Fence Repairs & Replacements Gloucester
Not every fencing job is a full new installation — sometimes a few panels have blown down in a storm, a post has rotted at the base or a section has been damaged and needs sorting before it gets worse. We carry out fence repairs and partial replacements across Gloucester and Gloucestershire, and in many cases we can fix the problem without needing to touch the sections of fence that are still in good condition.
Common repair jobs we deal with include replacing rotten or broken posts, fitting new panels into an existing run, repairing or rehinging gates, fixing leaning or unstable sections and replacing damaged gravel boards. If you’re not sure whether your fence needs a repair or a full replacement, give us a call — we’re happy to come and have a look and give you an honest assessment.
Ideal for: Storm damage, rotten posts or boards, damaged panels, dropped or sticking gates.
Why Us
Why Choose Gloucester Fencing Services for Your Fencing?
When it comes to fencing, the quality of the installation matters just as much as the quality of the materials. A poorly installed fence — with leaning posts, uneven panels or inadequate fixings — won’t just look bad, it won’t last. At Gloucester Fencing Services we do the job properly from the very start, and that’s why so much of our work comes through recommendations from satisfied customers across Gloucestershire.
We use properly pressure-treated timber, solid concrete posts and quality fixings throughout every fencing job. The materials we use are selected to handle the British weather year after year — so your fence stays standing, straight and looking good long after cheaper alternatives have started to fail.
A fence is only as good as its posts. We set every post correctly, check lines carefully and make sure every panel or board is level and secure before we leave site. It's the kind of attention to detail that makes the difference between a fence that lasts and one that needs sorting again in a couple of years.
Gardens in Gloucestershire come in all shapes, sizes and gradients. Whether your garden is flat, sloping or awkwardly shaped, we have the experience and the right fencing styles to put in a boundary that fits your land properly and looks great.
You'll always know exactly what you're paying for before we start. Our quotes cover materials, labour and removal of any old fencing, with no vague estimates and nothing added on at the end.
We treat every property with care and leave it clean and tidy once the job is done. All waste, old fencing and packaging is removed and disposed of responsibly — we don't leave a skip full of old timber on your drive for a fortnight.
