What Makes Feather Edge Fencing the Most Wind-Resistant Choice?
When high winds sweep through Thetford and the wider Norfolk area, your fence is often the first casualty. Many property owners only realise the importance of wind resistance after a storm has left their panels scattered across the garden. At Fast Fix Fencing Thetford, we’re often called to repair or replace flimsy fencing—and time and time again, feather edge fencing proves to be the most reliable choice for wind-prone areas.
Unlike decorative panels or lightweight options, feather edge fencing offers a combination of stability, strength, and smart design. It’s built to withstand the UK’s unpredictable weather—without compromising on appearance.
Why Feather Edge Fencing Is Built to Last
Feather edge fencing is specifically designed to resist high winds. Here’s what gives it the edge:
- Overlapping vertical boards: The boards are nailed to horizontal rails with generous overlaps, allowing wind to glide over rather than push through.
- Pressure-treated timber: Helps protect against rot, increasing structural integrity over time.
- Strong support posts: Often set deeper and concreted in for maximum anchorage.
- Solid, close-boarded design: Reduces movement and flexing under wind pressure.
Designed With Practicality in Mind
This style of fencing is a favourite not just for its strength, but for its versatility and aesthetic appeal. Whether it’s lining a suburban garden or enclosing rural land, feather edge fences blend in naturally and can be customised with capping rails, gravel boards or staining.
Other Benefits Include:
- Low maintenance once installed
- Excellent privacy and security
- Flexible height and layout options
- Long lifespan when installed correctly

It’s this attention to detail that keeps your fence standing strong when others fall.
