Explore our range of panel capping for creating a neat, finished and better-protected top edge on timber fence panels. Panel capping is fitted along the upper edge of a fence panel to improve its appearance while helping shield exposed timber from direct rain and weathering.
Capping is commonly used with closeboard panels, feather edge fencing, decorative panels and other timber fencing systems. It provides a clean horizontal finish across the fence run and can help create a more professional, consistent appearance.
Our range includes pressure-treated timber capping suitable for new fencing installations, replacement work and panel repairs. Pressure treatment helps improve resistance to rot, fungal decay and general outdoor weather exposure.
Panel capping can be cut to suit the required fence length and fixed securely using suitable exterior-grade nails or screws. Always check the individual product profile, treatment and compatibility before ordering.

Choosing the Right Panel Capping
Choose a capping profile that suits the thickness and construction of the fence panel. The capping should sit securely over or along the top edge without excessive movement.
Check the required total length and include an allowance for cuts, joints and site adjustments. Matching the same profile throughout the fence run will help create a consistent finish.
Where the timber is pressure treated, apply a suitable end-grain treatment to any cut ends before installation.
Installation and Care
Position the capping evenly along the top of the fence panel and secure it using suitable exterior-grade galvanised nails or screws. Fixings should be spaced consistently and installed carefully to reduce the risk of splitting.
Pre-drilling near the ends may help protect the timber. Inspect the capping periodically for movement, damage or exposed cut surfaces and repair or replace sections where required.
