3.0m x 75mm x 47mm Cant Rail – Pressure Treated Green

This 3.0m pressure treated green cant rail is an ideal choice for longer fencing runs or when you want extra flexibility in post spacing. Treated to UC4 standard, it’s suitable for use in ground-contact areas and high-moisture environments. Manufactured from 125mm x 47mm timber using the (2EX) method, each rail finishes approximately 75mm x 47mm with a chamfered edge for water runoff.

The longer 3.0m length makes it suitable for wider post centres or cutting to size on-site. Cant rails should be installed with two lengths meeting at the centre of each post for uniformity across your closeboard fencing.

Fix to wooden posts using 100mm galvanised nails, or use timber screws or cup square bolts if installing into concrete recessed posts.

Installation Systems

Traditional Timber System

Install alongside wooden posts, gravel boards, and featheredge boards for a classic appearance. Consider Post Saver Sleeves for cost-effective rot prevention at ground level.

Heavy-Duty Concrete System

Pair with concrete recessed posts and concrete gravel boards to create a high-strength, rot-proof structure. Fix using screws or bolts.

Rail Guidance by Fence Height

• 2.4m and above: 4 rails

Materials related to “Cant Rail”

• Featheredge Boards – Tapered boards used to form the vertical face of closeboard fencing.

• Wooden Fence Posts – Compatible posts for use in traditional fencing builds.

• Concrete Fence Posts – Rot-resistant posts ideal for high-durability closeboard systems.

• Gravel Boards – Protects the base of the fence and adds structural height.

• Post Saver Sleeves – A cost-effective solution for extending timber post life at ground level.

• Postcrete – Ready-mix concrete used to fix posts securely in place.

How do you install cant rails?

Mount each rail so that two lengths meet at the centre of every post, creating a consistent and clean finish. Position with the chamfered edge facing outwards and slightly upward to shed rainwater. Use 100mm galvanised nails for timber posts or opt for timber screws/cup square bolts with concrete systems.
