Product Information
Full details
The Snowdon Timber Arris Rail is ideal for homeowners and fencing contractors looking to build or repair sturdy close-board fencing. Its primary benefit is the pre-shaped triangular profile, which provides essential structural support for feather edge boards while ensuring a straight, professional finish. Please note that while the timber is green-treated for protection, it is a heavy-duty structural component that requires proper spacing and sturdy mounting brackets to ensure long-term stability in diverse weather conditions.

FAQs
Does this arris rail need to be painted?
No, it comes pre-treated with a green preservative, meaning it is ready for immediate exterior use.
Can I cut the 2.4M length?
Yes, it can be cut to size using a standard hand or power saw. Always treat any cut ends with an end-grain preservative.
How many rails come in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 individual arris rails.
What is the primary use for this rail?
It is designed to provide horizontal support for feather edge fencing boards.
Are mounting brackets included?
No, mounting brackets or hardware must be purchased separately based on your specific post type.
Troubleshooting
Rail feels unstable in the post
Check that the bracket screws are fully tightened and ensure the rail is seated flush against the back of the bracket.
Splitting or checking in the wood
Small surface cracks are normal as treated timber dries; however, ensure you use pilot holes before driving in large nails or screws to prevent structural splitting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ready to install with no immediate painting or staining required
- Provides high structural integrity for close-board fence designs
- Pressure-treated for reliable outdoor durability
- Reduces installation labor thanks to the pre-shaped profile
Cons
- Requires specific brackets or morticed posts for proper mounting
- Natural timber product may experience slight movement or cracking over time
- Heavyweight, requiring two people for safe handling and installation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your fence posts are set at an interval that accommodates the 2400mm length of the rail. If using morticed posts, simply slide the ends of the rail into the designated cutouts. If using surface-mounted brackets, screw the brackets into your posts first, then secure the rails using exterior-grade timber screws. To maximize the life of the wood, it is recommended to apply a secondary water-repellent treatment or wood stain every two to three years. Ensure the cut ends of the rails are sealed with a suitable end-grain preservative whenever you make a cross-cut during installation.
