6FT x 5FT 6 Inch Ultra Heavy Duty Closeboard Fence Panel - Pressure Treated Brown

This 6ft x 5ft 6in Ultra Heavy Duty Closeboard Fence Panel is a great choice when you want near full-height privacy with a bit more coverage than a 5ft panel, without going right up to 6ft. It’s a common height for rear boundaries and garden sides where you want to reduce overlooking, cut down on draughts, and make the space feel more sheltered. We source these fence panels from a local manufacturer, with overlapping boards to help keep the fence line looking solid.

The Ultra build is designed to be stiffer and better supported than standard duty. On this 5ft 6in high panel we use five 75 x 32mm backing rails, and the feather edge boards are nailed through to each rail. That extra rail makes a real difference on taller panels. It gives more fixing points across the height, helps reduce flex between rails, and supports the boards so they are less likely to move about when the wind gets up. Over a long run, that can help the fence stay looking straighter and more consistent.
