Located in Stapleford, Nottingham, DIY Building Supplies has built its reputation on providing exceptional quality building materials at competitive prices.

What Are Feather Edge Boards?
Feather edge boards represent the foundation of quality timber fencing, featuring a distinctive tapered profile that creates both aesthetic appeal and superior weather protection. Each board measures approximately 150mm wide, tapering from 22mm at the thick edge down to just 6mm at the thin edge. This ingenious design allows boards to overlap seamlessly, creating weatherproof boundaries that effectively shed rainwater whilst maintaining excellent structural integrity.
At DIY Building Supplies, we stock premium European redwood feather edge boards, pressure-treated to UC2 standard for outstanding resistance against rot, decay, and insect attack. Our boards are sourced from sustainably managed forests, ensuring your project supports responsible forestry whilst delivering the quality performance you expect from professional-grade materials.
The overlapping installation method creates fencing panels that offer complete privacy with no gaps, making feather edge boards ideal for residential gardens, commercial properties, and agricultural applications. The natural timber appearance complements any architectural style, from traditional period properties to contemporary developments across the UK.
Feather Edge Fencing Panels: Ready-Made Solutions
For customers seeking convenience without compromising quality, our ready-made feather edge fencing panels provide professional results with straightforward installation. DIY Building Supplies stocks panels in standard heights of 1.2m, 1.5m, and 1.8m, with 1.83m width to suit most boundary requirements. Each panel features robust horizontal rails and overlapping feather edge boards, factory-assembled for consistent quality and faster installation.
Our panel range includes both standard and heavy-duty options to suit different exposure conditions and security requirements. Standard panels work perfectly for typical residential gardens, whilst our heavy-duty panels, featuring additional bracing and thicker rails, provide enhanced strength for exposed locations or commercial applications.
Every feather edge fencing panel supplied by DIY Building Supplies undergoes rigorous quality inspection to ensure consistent dimensions, secure fixings, and proper treatment coverage. This attention to detail reflects our commitment to delivering building materials that meet professional standards whilst remaining accessible to DIY customers.

Installation and Quality Considerations
Successful feather edge installation begins with proper planning and quality materials. DIY Building Supplies stocks everything needed for complete installations, including concrete posts, galvanised fixings, gravel boards, and post caps. Our comprehensive range eliminates the need for multiple suppliers whilst ensuring perfect compatibility between components.
For optimal results, feather edge boards should overlap by 25-30mm, with fixings positioned through the thick edge into supporting rails. We recommend galvanised nails for speed and reliability, though stainless steel screws provide superior holding power in exposed conditions. Our technical team can advise on the most suitable fixing methods for your specific application.
Quality post installation forms the foundation of long-lasting feather edge fencing. Concrete posts offer superior longevity and stability, particularly for taller panels or exposed locations. DIY Building Supplies stocks matching concrete posts designed specifically for our feather edge panels, ensuring proper fit and professional appearance.
Maintenance and Longevity
Properly maintained feather edge boards and fencing panels provide excellent service for 15-20 years, representing outstanding value for boundary investments. The pressure-treated timber we supply requires minimal maintenance beyond annual inspection and occasional cleaning. For enhanced protection and appearance, consider retreatment every 3-5 years using quality wood preservatives.
DIY Building Supplies stocks premium wood treatments from established manufacturers like Ronseal and Cuprinol, formulated specifically for exterior timber protection. These treatments penetrate deeply into the wood structure, providing long-lasting protection against weathering, UV damage, and biological attack.
Regular maintenance extends beyond treatment to include inspection of fixings, clearing vegetation from fence bases, and prompt replacement of damaged boards. Our individual feather edge boards make repairs straightforward, allowing selective replacement without disturbing entire panels.
Competitive Pricing and Value
At DIY Building Supplies, we understand that quality materials needn't break budgets. Our direct relationships with manufacturers enable competitive pricing on feather edge boards and fencing panels without compromising quality. Standard feather edge panels start from just £35 each, whilst individual boards are available from £4.50, providing flexibility for both complete installations and repair projects.
Our transparent pricing includes VAT with no hidden charges, and bulk discounts are available for larger projects. Free delivery is provided on orders over £100 to most UK locations, making DIY Building Supplies an economical choice for customers nationwide.
Comparing lifecycle costs reveals the exceptional value of quality feather edge products. Whilst cheaper alternatives may offer lower initial costs, the superior durability and appearance of our pressure-treated materials provide better long-term value, reducing replacement and maintenance costs over the fence's lifetime.
