Closeboard fencing is simple to maintain and repair in the event of loosened or damaged boards. Closboard fences are made by nailing vertical feathered-edge boards to horizontal timber rails that are mortised into vertical fence posts.

Softwood is the most common material for closeboard fences due to the attractive appearance, and its availability and affordable price point.
