What we do
Closeboard fencing is the strongest, most durable domestic fencing option you can buy - and the best choice for exposed Irish sites. Built from overlapping vertical boards on a robust timber frame, it creates a solid, wind-resistant boundary that offers total privacy and security. We install closeboard fencing with pressure-treated posts concreted deep into the ground, gravel boards to protect the timber from moisture, and quality fixtures throughout.

New closeboard fencing built from scratch on pressure-treated posts.
Closeboard repairs
