Closeboard Fencing
Closeboard fencing delivers one of the strongest timber fencing systems available. Installers build the fence using vertical featheredge boards fixed to horizontal rails and supported by robust posts.
This system performs exceptionally well in high-wind areas and on uneven ground. Landscapers and developers across Letchworth regularly choose closeboard fencing for long runs and new build perimeters because it offers both security and longevity.
Posts And Gravel Boards
Fence durability depends heavily on the substructure. We supply a full range of timber posts, concrete posts and gravel boards designed to protect fence panels from ground moisture and impact damage.
Timber options suit traditional garden aesthetics, while concrete systems provide maximum lifespan and minimal maintenance. Customers often combine timber panels with concrete posts and gravel boards to achieve strength without compromising appearance.
Concrete Posts And Gravel Boards
Concrete fencing systems have grown in popularity across Letchworth due to their resilience and low maintenance requirements. Slotted concrete posts allow quick panel installation while reinforced gravel boards prevent rot and insect damage.
This system suits homeowners who want a long-term fencing solution without ongoing treatment requirements.
DuraPost Metal Fence Posts
DuraPost metal posts provide a modern alternative to timber and concrete. Manufactured from galvanised steel, these posts resist warping, cracking and rot.
Many landscapers favour DuraPost systems for contemporary garden designs where clean lines and minimal profiles enhance the finished appearance.
Post And Rail Fencing
Post-and-rail fencing remains a popular choice for rural and agricultural areas around Letchworth. This open-style fencing defines boundaries without obstructing views.
Farmers, equestrian facilities, and large property owners rely on post-and-rail systems for livestock management and land division.
Wire Fencing
Wire fencing supports agricultural, security and garden applications. We supply stock fencing, welded-mesh, and chain-link solutions suitable for animal containment and perimeter protection.
Installers often combine wire fencing with timber posts or post-and-rail frameworks for enhanced stability.
Post Caps And Finials
Finishing details elevate the appearance and longevity of timber fencing. Post caps and finials protect exposed end grain from moisture ingress while adding decorative character.
Customers in Letchworth frequently choose these additions to complete premium garden installations.

Timber Treatment And Longevity
Timber fencing performance depends heavily on the quality of the treatment. Walford Timber invests in advanced treatment processes that extend product lifespan and resist environmental damage.
Pressure Treatment Process
We pressure treat fencing products using preservative solutions forced deep into the timber grain. This process protects against rot, fungal decay and insect attack.
Unlike surface coatings, pressure treatment penetrates the wood structure, ensuring long-term defence even if the surface sustains scratches or cuts.
Treated Vs Untreated Timber
We strongly recommend treated timber for all external fencing installations in Letchworth. Treated products last significantly longer and require less maintenance than untreated alternatives.
Untreated timber may be suitable for temporary fencing, but it will deteriorate quickly when exposed to British weather.
Ongoing Maintenance Guidance
Although treated timber resists decay, routine maintenance extends its appearance and performance.
We advise customers to:
• Apply protective coatings every few years
• Keep soil and debris away from gravel boards
• Inspect posts for movement after storms
• Replace damaged boards promptly
• Keep soil and debris away from gravel boards
• Inspect posts for movement after storms
• Replace damaged boards promptly
Proper care ensures fencing remains structurally sound and visually appealing for many years.
