Close Board on Concrete Posts
Close board panels set into concrete slotted posts for a long-life, low-maintenance boundary.

Close board fencing carried on concrete slotted posts and gravel boards. The concrete takes all the ground-level moisture and never rots, so the timber above stays dry and lasts longer. A practical choice for exposed or damp boundaries, and where a wall extension is added on top for extra privacy. Strong, square and built to hold its line for decades.
Why choose concrete posts over timber?
Concrete posts do not rot at ground level, which is where timber posts usually fail first. They carry the same close board look while extending the life of the fence and reducing future repairs.

Do concrete posts look industrial?
Once the close board is fitted the posts are barely visible. The finished face reads as a timber fence, with the concrete doing its work quietly behind.
Can you add height for extra privacy?
Yes, we can fit a trellis or solid wall extension on top within the permitted height, which is a tidy way to gain privacy without rebuilding the whole boundary.
How long will it last?
The concrete posts effectively last indefinitely, and the treated close board boards typically give 15 to 20 years before any sections need attention.
