Frequently asked questions
- What is the best way of building a feather edge fence?
The process of installing feather edge fencing involves setting your posts, attaching horizontal rails (Arris rails or back rails), and then fixing the individual boards vertically to the rails. When learning how to use feather edge boards, the key is to ensure the first board is perfectly vertical (plumb) and that you maintain a consistent overlap on all subsequent boards.
- How many feather boards per metre do I need?
This is a common question when calculating feather edge fencing. The answer depends on the width of the board and your chosen overlap. A standard overlap is 25mm (1 inch). For 125mm wide boards with a 25mm overlap, you will cover 100mm with each board, meaning you need 10 boards per metre. For 150mm feather edge boards with a 25mm overlap, you will need 8 boards per metre.
- How do you fix the boards correctly? What nails should I use?
The correct feather edge board fixing method is crucial. When wondering do you nail through both feather edge boards, the answer is yes. Each nail should go through the overlapping board and into the board underneath before hitting the rail behind it. This ensures a strong, rattle-free fence. The what nails for feather edge boards question is also important; we recommend using 50mm galvanised ring shank nails for a secure, rust-free fixing.
- Can you fit feather edge boards horizontally?
Yes, you absolutely can. How to fit feather edge boards horizontally is a process more commonly known as weatherboard or cladding. It's a very popular method for cladding sheds, outbuildings, and even houses, creating a rustic, protective layer. You simply start at the bottom and work your way up, ensuring each board overlaps the one below it.
