Close Board Fencing is renowned for its strength and versatility, without sacrificing its appearance. Also referred to as Featheredge or Featherboard, it is formed by vertical feather edge boards that each partially overlaps and fix to the rear horizontal supporting wooden rails.
Our challenge here was to dig out a 450mm conifer hedge together with the ground stumps. We then erected 1.8m ( 6)’ of close board fencing at a domestic client’s home. Looks good, what do you think?
It was a busy time for our Fencing Division on downland in Rockley, near Marlborough, post driving to erect 2000m stock fencing. A bit hairy at times but a good job was done; this now brings the total for the year so far to over 30,000m

Dismantling acacia trees in Devizes was our task for today. We dismantled two decaying 24m high Acacia trees in the London Road, Devizes… There was a lot of rot in the trees and they had become unsafe.

We erected 1000 metres of post and rail with gates and electric for the international 3-day eventer, David Doel, International Event Rider, of Reybridge Eventing at Lacock.
This will give increased turn-out for extra horses, and the fence has an electric wire on the top of an internal fence to prevent the horses pushing up against it.
The pictures show us half-way through a large reduction on a 60m hedge which had grown to 65′ in Worton Village, Devizes. Following the unusually high winds in May, several branches had broken off and there was a further risk of more damage, so permission was sought from Wiltshire County Council as the hedge/trees were within a conservation area.
The work was then scheduled, needing our large cherry picker, and we recycled all the chip and timber locally.
We were awarded the contract to clear trees and undergrowth from in and around a lake in Worton, near Devizes. We also uncovered a spot of erosion which has now been reinstated so water goes over rather than around the weir. The work will require a program of tree removal and replacement planting, fencing, drainage works and removal of timber from the lake.
Initially, an American form of fencing, which is now proving very popular here in the UK, Keepsafe Equestrian Fencing is a specially designed wire fence for the equine fencing market.
With a durable and protective diamond weave featuring heavy, twisted horizontal cables, each cable consisting of two wires on 100mm (4″) spacing from the ground to the top. Vertical wires, securely wrapped around each horizontal cable, run diagonally to make a diamond pattern, forming the strongest fence construction available today.
The practical benefits are that not only does it keep as much out as it does in, it is also very springy so safe if horses bounce into it. We bought this fencing in for this job from the US.
80m boundary post and rail in Shaftesbury, with a stock net and rustic round posts with half round rails.
Following the recent high winds, Conservation Contractors were called in to reduce a group of 9x 30 metre high Poplar Trees on the old hospital site in Devizes. They were originally planted to screen a long since removed water tower, much to the relief of most of the residents!
