This is the most common type of garden fencing but is not as robust or durable as Closeboard Featheredge fencing.
Lap panel fences consist of a frame with horizontal overlapping boards slotted between. The fencing needs to be erected slightly above the ground or have concrete or treated wooden gravel boards placed at the bottom to stop the panels from rotting.
The panels are attached to wooden fence posts using U-shaped post clips or nails on each panel but it is recommended to use concrete posts as these give much more strength and the panels can simply be slotted in.
Lap panel fences provide good privacy and a secure boundary but as previously mentioned they are not very durable, so it is recommended the panels are treated with a fence oil which penetrates the wood and protects it from within. If this type of fence is not protected it will quickly become warped, split and rot as it is attacked by the elements.
Just had a fence installed in Kings Cliffe. Shaun was excellent with communications, quoting and visiting to confirm details. Danny who did the job was superb. Always positive, nothing any trouble and regularly keeping us up to date. Finished job is excellent – just what we wanted and good value. Will happily recommend Peterborough Improvements… Read more “Finished job is excellent”
I had my fence fitted two weeks ago. I am so pleased with professional work and my expectation of how it would look. I’ve been in garden every evening just admiring fence and rearranging my plants and potted trees. An extention to my house, a private garden. Thank You
Just had a gate and fence put up. The guys did a great job and the cost reasonable. Would definitely recommend!
Would like to say very many thanks for doing such an excellent job of putting up our new fencing and getting rid of the old bushes and trees. You can be very sure we will be recommending your company to our friends and family.
I will definitely be using this company again as I can’t fault the work they have done. The 48 ft fence was erected in a day and is good quality, well erected and a good price. I would recommend them to anyone (and already have).
Absolutely top notch job completed quickly and for the best price we could find.
Shaun and Paul have been excellent. They came out to me to measure up and gave me a quote which was the best I had managed to find. We agreed to install the new fence the following week and they turned up on time, they removed all the hedge and rubbish and even included a… Read more “Would not hesitate to use Peterborough Improvements again.

Had a double set of drive way gates fitted, Fantastic job and they look solid and well made. Work was completed as scheduled and we couldn’t be happier, really adds to the front of the house. Thank you
I’ve used PI twice for repairs to a fence damaged by storm winds. Both times they were able to come over reasonably quickly (for what is actually a smallish job) and the end result, in difficult terrain, is very good. I’d have no hesitation in asking them to quote on any suitable work.
Installed 8ft fencing in school. Got on with the job cleared all mess. Would recommend to anyone.
Just wanted to say what a fantastic job Paul your fencer has done for us over the last couple of days. A very nice gentleman and obviously very good at what he does.
Dan did a superb job on our new fence, just a really nice guy that’s very skilled at his trade. Highly recommended.
I chose Peterborough Improvements to install a 20 panel closed board fence with concrete posts and gravel board they also installed two sleeper high flower beds in four separate areas of my garden.

We are really pleased with the very high standard of work. A new fence within 2 days. Removed the old fence and the new fence is very high quality. A truly professional company to deal with and high standards of workmanship. Would highly recommend this company.
Simon, Darren and the guys did a fantastic job of the new gate and drop kerb for our centre at Deaf Blind UK.
Super service replacing my fence after wind damage. Prompt and reliable. Will definitely use Shaun again. Thank you.
We had Peterborough improvements come round and replace our fencing, they turned up on the day we had arranged and did a top quality job, couldn’t be happier, we would recommend them to our friends and family
Just had Shaun and his team custom-make and fit a garden gate to existing railings at my Mum’s property. In short, they were fantastic! They delivered ahead of time, on the quoted price, and kept us informed every step of the way. I couldn’t recommend them, their people, or their work highly enough. Truly 5-Star… Read more “Truly 5-Star service !!”
Initially a little difficult to get in contact with someone at the company but then cannot fault the workmanship and product quality at all. My parents have also used this company for all of the work on their property in 2019/20 & are just as happy as myself. The fence fitter Danny was fantastic and… Read more “Cannot fault the workmanship and product quality at all”
Brilliant job by really professional workers.
Replaced our fence. Took the old one down and disposed of. New one up in 2 days. Top quality and very professional workmanship. Paul did an amazing job. Thanks to all involved. Will be recommending Peterborough Improvements!
Had a fence installed a couple of days ago, work carried out really quickly after quote which was very reasonably priced. The lads turned up when they said they was going and work was of a very high standard. Would recommend to family and friends and would definitely use this company for further work
The team were superb from start to finish, great workmanship and attention to detail. We are really pleased that we decided to get you guys to do the job and I would recommend anyone else to do the same.
Had the guys over to take down and replace an existing fence which had seen better days. The work was carried out in bad weather but was done very professionally and very quickly. We’re having them back for some more jobs soon as I would recommend them to anyone who needs work doing.
What can I say, Paul and the guys have done an absolutely fantastic job on the fence, it was a lot of work but they turned up as promised and got the job done over 3 days. Already have them quoting for my patio and bathroom. Cannot recommend these guys enough.
Provided a competitive quote that was easy to understand at no cost. They also carried out a pre work visit to to check for anything that may have been missed in order to finalise the quote. The work that was carried out was of a very high standard and we are very happy with the… Read more “A very high standard”

Punctual, professional, neat and tidy. Simon and his colleague had a difficult time removing two concrete posts, which were originally put in too deep by someone else. However, they managed to replace the posts and fence, which has transformed the patio area. Many thanks.
Absolutely top notch job on my garden fencing, much better job than the previous company.
What fantastic work Paul as done. New fence looks great and they completed the job very quick. I would highly recommend to anyone who is needing work done.
Excellent service as always from Shaun and the team. This time Simon and his mate replaced a very tired and battered front garden fence with a new wooden one with concrete posts..Great job! In a few weeks time they will be installing another resin bound driveway, this time replacing the gravelled area on part of… Read more “Excellent service as always from Shaun and the team”
I had a fence that was in desperate need of replacing, I had multiple quotes all were relatively expensive (it was roughly 45m) Shaun’s quote beat the others and the work was second to none. Paul came around and spoke to me about the work and then had it all finished in about 4 days.… Read more “Top class service, top job – would recommend and would 100% use again”
Contacted Shaun to install a new gate and to repair an existing gate. Good communication throughout and very helpful. Work was carried out on time and to an excellent standard. Would recommend and will use again in the future.
Impressed & Delighted Having moved to Peterborough a month ago, I had no knowledge of the local tradesmen but knew that I wanted a quotation for replacing old fence in the rear of the property and an extension of the driveway at the front of the property to incorporate a pedestrian gate. I telephoned several… Read more “Impressed & Delighted”
Peterborough Improvements replaced a line of fencing for us. They responded quickly to my request for a quote. Invoices, quotes and appointments all were done on-line. The workmen arrived on time and worked very hard to complete to the task; finishing the job when they said they would.
