Fence Rail 3600mm for Closeboard and Post and Rail Fencing
This fence rail measures 3600mm (12ft) long and is designed for closeboard fencing and post and rail fencing, whether you're building your own run from scratch or filling a gap in an existing fence line. Its generous length makes this fence rail a practical choice for bigger projects, helping reduce the number of joins needed across a long run.
Made from pressure treated timber, this rail is protected against rot and decay, helping it cope well with outdoor conditions over time. It's available in two finishes, Tanalised (green) or Tanatone (brown), so you can match it to existing fencing or choose the tone that suits your garden.
A common question when planning closeboard fencing is how the rails actually support the boards, and the answer is straightforward: fence rails like this one are fixed horizontally between posts, with feather edge boards then nailed across the front face, or with post and rail fencing, the rail forms the structure itself without additional infill boards.
Installation guidance
Fix this rail horizontally between posts, with two or three rails per bay depending on fence height. For closeboard fencing, feather edge boards are then nailed across the front. For post and rail fencing, the rail can be used directly between posts without infill boards.
For a complete fencing setup, take a look at our feather edge boards and timber fence posts.
Priced from £7.34 to £7.54 depending on finish, this fence rail is available to order online or from our Worcestershire yard.
What is the fence rail used for?
This rail is used as the horizontal support behind feather edge boards in closeboard fencing, or directly between posts in post and rail fencing.
What size is this fence rail?
It measures 3600mm (12ft) long, with a section of 87mm x 38mm.
What finishes are available?
It comes in Tanalised (green) or Tanatone (brown), so you can match it to existing fencing or your preferred colour.
Is a longer rail better for big fence runs?
A longer fence rail like this 3600mm option can reduce the number of joins needed across a long run, which often gives a stronger, cleaner finish than using several shorter lengths.
