Featheredge fencing can be used in domestic or commercial situations. A featheredge fence 1.8m high can offer complete privacy and the security desired in domestic situations.

A featheredge fence can be constructed relatively easily using a variety of methods. Charltons can supply machined posts to make the job slightly easier still. Posts can be supplied, a:recessed, b:morticed or c:v-notched.

Recessed posts can be used with a standard 87 x 38mm rail which sits inside the recess. This allows the featheredge boards to be fitted onto the rail and the post, providing a strong fence and furthermore the post is hidden behind the boards.

For slightly sloping situations the morticed post is a better option, used with a scarfed arris rail. The scarfed end of the arris rail fits snugly into the mortice yet offers some play to account for sloping land.

The v-notched post used with a standard arris rail also allows the post to be hidden by the featheredge boards and provides a strong and secure fence. The sloping arris rail makes it much more difficult to climb over the fence and is therefore considered to be more secure than the recessed post and standard rail. The BBC Gardeners World featheredge fence was supplied by Charltons and features posts with v-notches (click to read more).
