What are Arris rails

Arris rails is cut diagonally through the length of a 75mm wide and 75mm thick timber length achieving 2 equal triangular prism lengths. The rails are pressure treated to increase longevity.
How are rails fixed to a post

Arris rail fence brackets are galvanised steel & offer an alternative fixing option to attach the fencing rails to the main supports of fences with exterior galvanised or stainless steel nails or screws.
What are cant rails

Cant rails are wooden with a bevelled top surface to allow water dispersal. The bevelled top aids the longevity of the rail by reducing moisture saturation which is preceded by rotting.
How many rails should a fence have

How many fence rails depends on the fence style. The heavier the palings, the stronger the rail support is needed. The thinner the paling boards the closer the rails should be to reduce warping.
Square cut fence rails

Square cut fence rails are cheap alternatives compared to bevelled rails. These rails have greater strength but shortest lifespan as water soaks into the top of rail and speeds up the rotting process.
What size should fence rails be

Fence rails should be a minimum of 75mm in height for site fencing of 2+ metres between posts. The heavier the fence paling determines the strength of rail or other strength compensations are needed.
half log rails

Half log rails are the most expensive wooden rail as it is machine rounded, cut through the centre creating a flat side, which the paling are nailed to and a rounded side which allows water dispersal.
fence rail bracket

Fence rail brackets need to be galvanised to protect from weathering quickly from rusting and failure to do the purpose its designed for.
Fencing Rails

Fence Rails are structural supports of paling boards as a frame work or between posts. Best fences have bevelled or machine rounded fencing rails allowing water dispersal away from palisade boards.
