Fencing Timber

Choose from green and brown treated fencing boards and timber fence posts in different sizes. Our range includes 75mm x 75mm green treated fence posts, 100mm x 100mm brown treated fence posts, feather edge boards and treated timber screening battens.

Treated Timber Fence Posts

Timber fence posts provide the main support for many traditional fencing systems. Pressure treated timber posts are designed for outdoor use and are available in different dimensions to suit different fencing requirements.

Our fencing timber range includes UC3u treated wooden fence posts in both green and brown finishes. Available sizes include 75mm x 75mm and 100mm x 100mm, with different lengths available depending on the product.

When choosing a fence post, consider the height and type of fencing, ground conditions and the method of installation. The post should be suitable for the intended application and installed correctly for the fencing system being used.

Feather Edge Fencing Boards

Feather edge fencing boards are a popular choice for creating close-boarded garden and boundary fencing. The tapered profile allows boards to overlap, helping create a continuous timber fence with good coverage and privacy.

Plywood Etc supplies pressure treated feather edge fencing boards in both green and brown finishes, with 125mm and 150mm board widths available across the range.

Feather edge boards can be installed vertically to create traditional close-board fencing and can be combined with suitable timber posts, rails and gravel boards depending on the fence design.

Green Treated Fencing Timber

Green treated timber is widely used for garden fencing and other outdoor timber projects. The treatment provides protection appropriate for outdoor applications and helps the timber withstand the conditions it is likely to encounter in normal use.

Our green fencing timber includes treated fence posts and green pressure treated feather edge fencing boards, making it possible to source key components for a traditional timber fencing project.

Brown Treated Fencing Timber

Brown treated fencing timber provides an alternative finish to traditional green treated timber. Brown feather edge boards and fence posts are commonly used where a darker, more natural-looking finish is preferred for a garden or boundary fence.

Brown treated timber can be used for new fencing, replacement boards, repairs and other outdoor timber projects. As with all treated timber, installation and maintenance should be appropriate for the intended application.

Timber Screening Battens

Timber screening battens can be used to create privacy screens, decorative garden screening and other outdoor timber structures. Our UC3 treated screening battens are manufactured for suitable outdoor applications and have a finished size of approximately 45mm x 17mm.

Screening battens can be installed vertically, horizontally or in different patterns depending on the required appearance and level of privacy. They can also be used alongside timber posts and framing to create bespoke screening panels.

Common Uses for Fencing Timber

Fencing timber can be used for a wide range of domestic, landscaping and outdoor construction projects, including:

• Garden fencing
• Boundary fencing
• Close-board fencing
• Feather edge fencing
• Privacy fencing
• Garden screening
• Timber privacy screens
• Fence repairs
• Replacement fence boards
• Garden projects
• Landscaping projects
• Outdoor timber structures

Choosing Fencing Timber

The right fencing timber depends on the type of fence being constructed, the required height, the spacing between posts and boards, the desired appearance and the conditions where the fence will be installed.

For traditional close-board fencing, feather edge boards are normally installed vertically with overlapping boards supported by horizontal rails. Suitable timber fence posts provide the main structural support, while additional components such as gravel boards can be used where required.

For privacy screens and decorative fencing, timber screening battens provide more flexibility in the final design and can be installed with different spacing to achieve the required level of privacy.

Fence Post Sizes

The correct post size depends on the fence design, height, loading, spacing and installation method. Always ensure the selected post is suitable for the intended fencing system.

Fencing Timber FAQs

What is feather edge fencing?

Feather edge fencing is a traditional close-board fencing system using tapered timber boards that overlap each other. The overlapping boards create a relatively continuous fence and provide privacy along a garden or boundary.

What size timber is used for fence posts?

Common timber fence post sizes include 75mm x 75mm and 100mm x 100mm. The appropriate size depends on the height, construction and requirements of the particular fence.

Is treated timber suitable for fencing?

Pressure treated timber is widely used for outdoor fencing and garden projects. The treatment provides protection appropriate for the intended use, but installation, ground contact and ongoing maintenance should still be considered.

What is the difference between green and brown fence boards?

The main visible difference is the finish. Green treated fencing timber has the traditional green appearance associated with pressure treated timber, while brown treated fencing timber provides a darker finish that is often chosen for garden and landscaping projects.
