Tanalised Closeboard Fence Panel

Tanalised closeboard fence panels provide solid boundary privacy and security for domestic gardens and trade fencing projects. Pressure treated with a tanalised preservative, these vertical overlapping board panels resist rot and decay, offering a long service life with minimal upkeep. Available in four heights to suit most standard post spacings.

Specifications

What it's used for

• Garden boundary fencing where privacy and wind screening are required
• Replacement panels in existing closeboard fence runs using standard post spacings
• Trade and contractor fencing projects on new-build and renovation sites
• Side-return and rear garden enclosures where a robust, low-maintenance panel is needed

Fitting and handling

These panels are designed to sit between standard 100mm timber or concrete fence posts at a 1.83m (6ft) spacing, secured with appropriate panel clips or galvanised screws, sold separately. Store panels flat and off the ground before installation to prevent distortion, and allow them to acclimatise to site conditions for 24 to 48 hours if they have been transported in varied weather. The tanalised treatment is factory applied, so no additional preservative is required on cut faces during installation, though a brush-on end-grain preservative is recommended if panels are trimmed on site.

FAQ

What height tanalised closeboard fence panel do I need for a 6ft fence?

You need the 6ft x 6ft panel. The 6ft measurement refers to the width of the panel, while the second measurement is the height. For a full 6ft boundary fence, select the 6ft x 6ft option and ensure your posts extend at least 600mm into the ground for stability.

Do tanalised closeboard fence panels need painting or staining?

No treatment is strictly necessary after installation. The tanalised preservative is pressure impregnated into the timber and protects against rot and fungal decay without any additional coating. You can apply a fence paint or coloured stain for appearance once the timber has dried out fully, typically after several weeks outdoors.

Will these panels fit concrete fence posts?

Yes. Tanalised closeboard fence panels are sized to fit between standard concrete or timber posts with a 1.83m (6ft) slot spacing. Check your existing post dimensions and slot width before ordering to confirm compatibility, as some older concrete posts use non-standard spacings.
