The Snowdon Timber Feather Edge Fence Board is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to build durable, private, and aesthetically pleasing garden boundaries. Its primary benefit lies in the tapered, overlapping design that creates a solid, wind-resistant barrier, though users should note that as pressure-treated softwood, the boards require periodic maintenance to retain their color and long-term integrity against extreme environmental exposure.

It is best to wait a few weeks for the timber to dry out after installation before applying paint or stain, as the initial pressure treatment can be damp.
Measure the total length of your fence run in millimeters. Divide by the effective width of the board (width minus the overlap) to estimate the number of boards required.
While pressure-treated, it is strongly advised to use concrete gravel boards at the base to prevent the timber from being in direct contact with the ground.
A hammer, galvanized nails, a spirit level for straight edges, and a circular or hand saw for trimming to length.
The greenish tint is a result of the pressure-treatment process, which forces preservatives into the wood fibers.
Ensure boards are stored flat and dry before installation and are secured firmly to at least three horizontal rails.
Pre-drill small pilot holes if working near the board edges to prevent the wood from cracking when the nail is driven in.
For installation, ensure your fence posts are set at maximum intervals of 2.4 meters. Use high-quality galvanized nails to prevent rust stains from bleeding into the wood. When installing, always overlap the boards consistently to maintain structural strength. While the wood is pressure-treated, we recommend applying a high-quality exterior wood preservative or timber stain within the first year of installation. Re-apply treatments every 2-3 years to ensure the wood remains protected against UV radiation and excess moisture absorption. Keep the bottom of the boards slightly elevated from direct contact with wet soil to extend the life of the timber.
