6×5 Featheredge Panel

A51 Manufactured 6×5 Feather Edge Fencing Panels

6×5 feather edge fence panel built using fully tanalised timber and heavy-duty rails for long-lasting strength

Our A51 Manufactured 6×5 Feather Edge Fencing Panels are built with durability, strength, and long-term performance firmly in mind. Manufactured in-house by A51, these panels are designed to provide a reliable and traditional fencing solution that stands up to the British climate while maintaining a smart, professional appearance.

At 6ft wide and 5ft high, this panel size is a popular choice for customers installing fencing on top of a gravel board, where a full 6ft panel would create unnecessary height. It offers excellent privacy while keeping the finished fence line neat and proportionate.

Fully tanalised timber for long-term protection

All A51 feather edge fencing panels are manufactured using fully tanalised timber, providing enhanced protection against the most common causes of timber failure. The pressure-treatment process forces preservative deep into the wood, helping to protect against:

• Insect attack

• Fungal decay

• Rot

This treatment significantly improves the lifespan of the panel when installed correctly and maintained as recommended, making it a dependable choice for garden boundaries and perimeter fencing.

Traditional feather edge construction

Our 6×5 feather edge panels are constructed using overlapping vertical boards, a proven fencing method known for its strength, privacy, and resistance to wind. The overlapping design allows the panel to move naturally with changes in weather while maintaining structural integrity.

Feather edge fencing remains one of the most popular choices for residential gardens due to its solid appearance and long-term reliability.

Strong construction with four rear rails

Each 6×5 feather edge fencing panel is constructed with four horizontal rails on the rear, providing excellent rigidity across the full width of the panel. This additional rear framing helps prevent bowing, twisting, and movement over time, ensuring the panel remains solid once installed.

The four-rail design gives the panel a substantial feel and makes it particularly well suited to longer fencing runs where stability and durability are essential.

Bevelled panel cap for added weather resistance

To further improve longevity, our feather edge panels are finished with a bevelled panel cap. This encourages rainwater to run off the top of the panel rather than sitting on flat surfaces, reducing moisture absorption and improving overall weather resistance.

It’s a small but important detail that helps extend the life of the panel and maintain its appearance over time.

Manufactured in-house by A51

All A51 6×5 feather edge fencing panels are manufactured in-house, allowing us to maintain consistent quality and construction standards across every panel we produce. By controlling the entire build process, we ensure materials, fixings, and finishes meet the level of quality we expect — and the level our customers rely on.

Because we manufacture our panels ourselves, we’re also able to produce panels to suit non-standard openings, including panels made to any width required. Panels over 6ft wide can also be manufactured, however these are priced differently due to the additional materials and construction involved. If you require a wider panel, simply let us know your measurements and we’ll advise on the best option and pricing.

FSC certified timber

The timber used in our feather edge fencing panels is FSC certified, meaning it is sourced from well-managed forests where environmental, social, and economic standards are upheld. This ensures responsible sourcing without compromising on strength, durability, or performance.

Choosing the correct panel height

When ordering fencing panels, it’s important to consider whether they will be installed on top of a gravel board. In many cases, customers find that a 5ft high fencing panel is the correct choice when used with a gravel board, rather than opting for a full 6ft panel.

This helps avoid unnecessary overall fence height while still maintaining privacy and a clean, balanced finish.

Built the A51 way

Our A51 Manufactured 6×5 Feather Edge Fencing Panels reflect the same principles found across everything we produce — quality materials, solid construction, and attention to detail. Designed for longevity rather than short-term use, they offer a traditional fencing solution built to perform year after year.
