Fence Rail 2400mm for Picket Fencing
This fence rail 2400mm (8ft) x 75mm x 32mm and is designed for anyone building their own picket fence panels or filling a gap in an existing run of fencing. It's a versatile, straightforward piece of timber that gives your fence the horizontal structure it needs between posts.
Made from pressure treated timber, this fence rail is protected against rot and decay, so it holds up well to the British weather once installed outdoors. It's available in two finishes, Tanalised (green) or Tanatone (brown), so you can match it to the rest of your fencing or pick the tone that best suits your garden.
A common question when planning a picket fence is what size rail to use, and at 2400mm long, this fence rail suits longer runs or wider gaps between posts compared to shorter alternatives, helping reduce the number of joins needed across a fence line.
Installation guidance
To build a picket fence, two fence rails are typically fixed horizontally between posts, one near the top and one near the bottom, with picket pales then nailed or screwed across the front face. This rail also works well as an infill piece if you need to patch a gap in an existing run of picket fencing rather than rebuilding the whole section.
For a complete picket fence build, take a look at our picket pales and timber fence posts.
Priced from £3.55 to £3.65 depending on finish, this fence rail is available to order online or from our Worcestershire yard.
