FAQs
How many feather edge boards do you need per metre?
How many feather edge boards you need per metre depends on the width of the boards and the overlap needed. Usually, an overlap of 25mm is required, therefore choosing a board width of 150mm means you’ll need 8 feather edge boards per metre, resulting in a coverage of 125mm after overlapping.
How do you fit feather edge boards horizontally?
To fit feather edge boards horizontally, all you need to do is fix the battens to the frame, leaving around 600mm of space between each one. You’ll want to start from the bottom, making sure each board is level before you begin to overlap each one by roughly 25mm. Then screw or nail each one at the top to allow movement. Continue upwards and always ensure alignment is achieved.
Where do you nail feather edge boards?
You should always nail feather edge boards on the thicker edge (overlapping edge), around 20mm from the top. Make sure they’re fully secured using stainless steel or galvanised nails but avoid nailing through both boards to allow movement.
What are feather edge boards used for?
They’re used for fencing, typically around a garden. They’re also used to mark boundaries and to maintain privacy.
How to cut feather edge boards
-
Measure and mark your cut line on the board
-
Make sure the board is on a stable surface
-
Use a handsaw or circular saw, cut slowly along your marked line
Because feather edge boards are narrow at one side, take extra care not to apply too much pressure, especially near the thin edge.
