Forest Dipped Treated Closeboard Fence Panel
The Forest Dipped Treated Closeboard Fence Panel is a strong, secure and durable fencing solution, designed to provide excellent privacy while creating an attractive garden boundary. Built using traditional closeboard construction, this heavy-duty fence panel is considerably stronger than standard overlap fencing, making it an ideal choice for gardens where strength, security and long-term reliability are essential.
Constructed with thick 8mm square-cut overlapping boards arranged vertically, the panel delivers a clean, traditional appearance with a robust structure that complements both modern and classic garden designs. Finished in a warm golden brown colour, it blends naturally into a wide variety of outdoor spaces.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Lasting Performance
Manufactured around a strong perimeter frame, the Forest Closeboard Fence Panel is reinforced with 45mm central battens across the rear to provide exceptional rigidity and stability. The 6ft panel benefits from an additional central batten, making it the strongest UK-made fence panel in the Forest range.
The panel is finished with a profiled top cap to improve durability while giving the fence a smart, professional appearance. Manufactured from rough sawn timber, it retains a traditional rustic finish while offering excellent structural performance.
Dip treated to protect against rot and fungal decay, the panel is backed by a 10-Year Anti-Rot Guarantee, provided periodic re-treatment is carried out.

Proudly manufactured in the United Kingdom, the Forest Dipped Treated Closeboard Fence Panel is produced using FSC® certified timber and other responsibly controlled sources, providing an environmentally responsible fencing solution without compromising on strength or quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a closeboard fence panel stronger than a standard overlap panel?
Closeboard panels are constructed using thick 8mm square-cut overlapping boards fixed to a strong perimeter frame and reinforced with rear battens. This creates a much stronger and more rigid panel than traditional overlap fencing, making it ideal for exposed gardens and long-term use.
Does the Forest Dipped Treated Closeboard Fence Panel require maintenance?
Yes. The panel is supplied dip treated to protect against rot, but periodic re-treatment with a suitable wood preservative is recommended to maintain its appearance and keep the 10-Year Anti-Rot Guarantee valid.
