FAQs

Are these boards suitable for ground contact?

While pressure-treated, it is best practice to keep timber slightly elevated from direct soil contact to maximize longevity.

Do I need to paint these boards immediately?

No, the pressure treatment provides immediate protection. You can paint or stain them once the initial moisture from the treatment has dried.

Can these boards be cut to size?

Yes, they can be trimmed using standard woodworking saws, but remember to treat any cut ends with an end-grain preservative to maintain rot resistance.

What is the thickness of the board?

The board measures 11mm in thickness, providing a robust profile for standard garden fencing.

How many boards do I need for a fence?

Calculate based on the total length of your run divided by the width of the board (125mm), accounting for the specific overlap you choose for your installation.

Can I use these for raised beds?

These boards are designed for fencing. While they are treated, they are not optimized for the structural pressure of soil-filled raised beds.

Troubleshooting

Boards warping or twisting

Ensure boards are fixed with at least three points of contact on the horizontal rails and that they are not overly tight against each other, allowing for minor natural expansion.

Fasteners causing dark stains

Use only hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel fixings. If non-galvanized nails were used, replace them immediately.

Surface showing signs of moss or dirt

Gently clean with a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water, avoiding high-pressure washers which can damage the treated surface fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Overlapping design offers superior privacy compared to butt-joint boards
  • Pressure treatment provides essential protection against rot and decay
  • Standard dimensions simplify planning and material calculations
  • Classic aesthetic suits various garden styles

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade fasteners for secure installation
  • Softwood timber may require periodic staining to maintain color
  • Not suitable for load-bearing structural applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, use galvanized or stainless steel nails to prevent rusting and subsequent wood staining. It is recommended to leave a small gap at the bottom of the fence panels to prevent direct ground contact, which further extends the life of the wood. Compatibility is high with standard wooden fence posts and arris rails. To care for your fence, conduct an annual inspection for loose fasteners. While the pressure treatment provides initial protection, applying a high-quality exterior wood preservative or stain every 2-3 years will help maintain the brown aesthetic and provide an additional layer of UV and moisture defense.
