Fence Rail 1828mm for Close Boarded and Picket Fencing
This fence rail measures 1828mm (6ft) x 75mm x 32mm and has a square edged profile, making it a versatile choice for several types of fencing. It works well for close boarded fencing, picket fencing, and traditional post and rail fencing, giving each a strong, straight horizontal support between posts.
A common question when choosing a rail for close boarded fencing is why a square edge matters, and the answer is simple: the flat top sheds rainwater away from the boards below rather than letting it pool, which helps protect the timber and extends the life of the fence. This fence rail is pressure treated throughout, helping prevent insect attack and fungal decay once it's installed outdoors.
Sizing and finish
Each fence rail is supplied at 1828mm long, with a 75 x 32mm section, and is available in two finishes, Tanalised (green) or Tanatone (brown), so you can choose the tone that suits your garden or matches existing fencing.
Installation guidance
For close boarded fencing, this fence rail is typically fixed horizontally between posts, with feather edge boards then nailed across the front. For picket fencing, two rails are usually fitted per bay, one near the top and one near the bottom, with pales fixed across the face. The same rail also suits simple post and rail fencing, where it's fixed directly between posts without additional infill boards.
For a complete fencing setup, take a look at our timber fence posts and diamond lattice trellis panels if you're looking to add a decorative top.
Priced from £2.71 to £2.78 depending on finish, this fence rail is available to order online or from our Worcestershire yard.
