Now in Stock: Rebated Feather Edge Boards for Exterior Cladding

We now hold a large stock of rebated feather edge boards 200mm x 25mm. These boards are often used for exterior cladding on homes, sheds and even village shops! Bretforton Village Shop is pictured above. Unlike traditional featheredge boards, rebated feather edge boards interlock giving a flatter finish on the back and a tighter joint. A board has a 173mm cover and is traditionally fixed with galvanised nails.

We offer these boards in pressure treated timber for long life – there is no need to retreat in any way. After several years of being exposed to sunlight the timber will silver naturally.

Other species of timber are available please ask the sales team.
