Traditional Closeboard Fencing Installation in Esher
The new boundary combines traditional timber closeboarding with concrete posts and concrete gravel boards. This gives the homeowner the natural appearance of timber fencing with additional protection where the fence is most exposed to moisture and ground conditions.
The finished installation provides a smart, secure boundary between the neighbouring driveways and suits the character of the surrounding properties.
The Existing Driveway Fence
For this property, replacing the old fence gave us the opportunity to install a more durable system rather than simply repairing sections that would eventually need further attention.
Traditional Closeboard Fencing with Concrete Posts
Closeboard fencing is built from individual vertical timber boards fixed securely to horizontal rails. It creates a solid boundary with good privacy and is a practical choice for exposed areas such as front gardens, driveways and property boundaries.
Using individual boards also allowed us to create a neat fence line that works well with the existing layout of the driveway and neighbouring property.
Why We Used Concrete Gravel Boards
This is particularly useful around driveways and garden borders, where the bottom of a timber fence can otherwise remain exposed to damp soil and surface moisture. The concrete base helps protect the timber and can extend the working life of the fence.
Combined with concrete posts, it creates a robust fencing system designed for long-term use.
A Clean Finish Along the Driveway
Care was taken with the height, alignment and positioning of each section so the new fencing follows the existing driveway layout and integrates neatly with the brick boundary pillar and existing metal gates.
From both sides, the finished installation has a clean appearance without feeling out of place alongside the neighbouring properties.
The Finished Result
It gives the driveway a cleaner appearance, improves privacy between the properties and provides a much stronger boundary designed to cope with years of British weather.
