Notched Birdmouth Post for Closeboard and Rail Fencing
The notched birdmouth post is designed with three pre-cut birdmouth notches, making it ideal for closeboard fencing, post and rail fencing and knee rails. The notches give rails a ready made seating point, so timber rails sit neatly against the post rather than needing extra cutting or fixing brackets.
A common question when building post and rail fencing is how the rails actually connect to the post, and a notched birdmouth post answers this directly, with the birdmouth notch cut into the post providing a stable seat for each rail to rest in before being nailed or screwed in place. This notched birdmouth post is pressure treated throughout, protecting it against rot and insect attack once installed outdoors, and is finished in brown (Tanatone) to match the rest of your fencing.
Sizing and specification
This notched birdmouth post is supplied in 8ft (2400mm) lengths, and is available in two widths, 5x3 and 5x4, so you can match it to the scale of your fencing project. Each post comes with three birdmouth notches as standard.
Installation guidance
Set the post into the ground using post mix or metal post spikes, then rest each rail into its birdmouth notch before fixing securely with nails or screws. For a complete fencing setup, take a look at our fence rails and timber post caps to finish the job.
Priced from £16.80 to £21.60 depending on width, the notched birdmouth post is available to order online or from our Worcestershire yard.
