Residential Fencing Project
Two Timber Fencing Styles for a Twickenham Frontage
William Bradley Fencing completed a residential timber fencing installation in Twickenham, Richmond upon Thames, combining Venetian Hit & Miss panels with traditional closeboard fencing across the front of the property.
The Venetian panels give the driveway a clean, contemporary look, while the closeboard fencing adds a more substantial, traditional finish. Together, the two styles create a coordinated boundary that complements the property.

Common Questions
Closeboard Fencing FAQs
Q1: What is Venetian Hit & Miss fencing?
Venetian Hit & Miss fencing is a modern timber fencing style featuring horizontal wooden slats fixed alternately to the front and back of the panel. This creates a layered appearance that offers privacy while allowing airflow through the gaps.
Q2: What is the difference between Venetian Hit & Miss and traditional closeboard fencing?
The main difference between Venetian Hit & Miss and traditional closeboard fencing is the board arrangement and level of privacy. Venetian Hit & Miss uses alternating horizontal slats for a modern look with airflow, while closeboard fencing uses overlapping vertical boards for a solid, private boundary.
Q3: Is Venetian Hit & Miss fencing suitable for windy locations?
Yes, Venetian Hit & Miss fencing can be suitable for windy locations, as the gaps between alternating timber slats allow some wind to pass through. However, suitability depends on wind exposure, fence height and secure post installation.
Q4: Can closeboard fencing be customised with different finishing details?
Yes, closeboard fencing can be customised with timber capping, counter rails and trellis tops to improve its appearance and suit your property’s style.
Q5: Does Venetian Hit & Miss fencing provide airflow?
Yes, Venetian Hit & Miss fencing allows airflow through the gaps between its alternating horizontal timber slats, helping reduce wind resistance while maintaining a degree of privacy.
Q6: What affects the cost of combining two timber fencing styles?
The cost of combining two timber fencing styles depends on fence length, panel types, materials, ground conditions, installation complexity and finishing details such as timber capping and counter rails.
