Traditional Closeboard Fencing & Bespoke Timber Gates in Walton-on-Thames

We recently completed this fencing project at a property in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, installing two runs of traditional closeboard fencing together with multiple bespoke timber gates.

Each gate was made to measure for its opening, helping us create a secure and consistent boundary throughout the property. The finished fencing combines timber closeboarding with concrete posts and gravel boards for a strong, practical installation designed for long-term use.

Two Runs of Traditional Closeboard Fencing

The project required fencing in different areas of the garden, including a narrow side access where accurate positioning was particularly important.

We installed traditional closeboard fencing to create solid boundaries without taking unnecessary space away from the existing paths and garden areas.

Closeboard fencing works particularly well for this type of installation because it provides:

  • Good privacy with a solid timber construction.
  • Strong boundary protection for gardens and side access areas.
  • A traditional appearance that suits many Surrey properties.
  • Flexible installation for different boundary lengths and layouts.
  • Individual timber components that can be repaired if required in the future.

Bespoke Timber Gates Made to Measure

Alongside the fencing, we supplied and installed multiple bespoke timber gates.

Rather than relying on standard-sized gates, each one was made to suit the available opening. This is particularly important around side passages and existing property features where dimensions can vary considerably.

The timber gates were constructed to complement the closeboard fencing, creating a consistent appearance rather than looking like separate additions.

Heavy-duty gate fittings were used to provide secure operation and dependable everyday access.

A Consistent Finish Throughout the Garden

Using the same traditional closeboard style across both fencing runs gives the property a more unified appearance.

The combination of natural timber, concrete posts, concrete gravel boards and matching gates creates a practical boundary that feels consistent across the different areas of the garden.

It is a good example of why fencing should be planned around the individual property rather than treating every boundary as a standard installation.

Final Outcome

The Finished Result

The completed project provides the homeowner with two strong closeboard boundaries and multiple made-to-measure timber gates, all designed to work with the existing garden and access points.

The result is a clean, secure and practical installation with a consistent finish throughout.

Common Questions

Composite Decking FAQs

Q1: Is closeboard fencing suitable for garden boundaries?
Yes. Traditional closeboard fencing provides a strong, solid boundary with good privacy, making it suitable for rear gardens, side passages and boundaries between neighbouring properties.
Q2: Can timber gates be made to fit an existing opening?
Yes. Bespoke timber gates can be made to suit the dimensions of an existing entrance or side access, which is useful when a standard gate size does not fit properly.
Q3: Why use concrete posts for closeboard fencing?
Concrete posts provide strong support and are not vulnerable to timber rot at ground level. They are commonly combined with closeboard fencing where durability is a priority.
Q4: What is the purpose of a concrete gravel board?
A concrete gravel board sits between the ground and the timber fencing. It reduces direct contact between the timber and damp soil, helping protect the bottom of the fence.
Q5: Can closeboard fencing be installed along a narrow side passage?
Yes, subject to sufficient working space and suitable ground conditions. Closeboard fencing can be adapted to different property layouts, including narrow side access areas.
Q6: Can fencing and gates be installed together?
Yes. Planning the fencing and gates as one project can help achieve better alignment and a more consistent appearance across the complete boundary.
