Where to Nail Feather Edge?

Feather-edge profiles are generally cut from green (wet) timber and will, as a result, shrink by up to 15mm as the board dries. We recommend that each board is fixed once with a nail located 10mm above the upper edge of the previous board.

Where do you nail feather edge boards?

Nail the Featheredge Boards in place, first nail in place the 1st two boards at either end, both facing inwards (narrow edge facing inwards).

Should I nail or screw feather edge?

The choice is yours. The rails can be screwed into the posts through the sides and supporting brackets can be used to give extra strength. 3 inch number 8 screws are usually needed for this, all timber should be treated. The first feather edge board can then be fixed on the outside of your fence.
