Cant Rail

Description

Cant Rails

Choose from 3 different lengths

• 2.4m (~8ft)
• 3.0m (~10ft)
• 3.6m (~12ft)

The Wooden Cant rail finishes up approx. W75mm x T47mm with a chamfered edge.

Pressure treated Brown or Green

These fencing rails have a bevelled / angled edge that’s designed so rain water wont sit on the rail.

We recommend using cant rail when your constructing a closeboard fence.

Fix the rails to your post with 100mm galvanised nails.

We recommend the following height / rail combination:

• 2.4m and above = 4 rails per bay
• 1.8m = 3 rails per bay
• 1.5m = 3 rails per bay
• 1.2m = 2 rails per bay

The only other decision to make is how far apart you want you posts 2.4m, 3.0m or for extra strength use 3.6m cant rail and have your posts at 1.8m centres,

Key Benefits of Cant Rails

• Provides Structural Support: Cant rails strengthen fences by supporting featheredge boards, enhancing overall stability.
• Prevents Warping: Helps keep fencing boards straight and aligned, preventing warping over time due to weather exposure.
• Increases Fence Longevity: Reduces stress on individual boards, making the entire fence more durable and long-lasting.
• Adds Aesthetic Value:  Create a polished, professional look by keeping boards evenly spaced and aligned.
• Easy to Install: Straightforward to attach, making it a practical choice for DIY and professional fencing projects alike.
• Cost-Effective: By reinforcing the fence structure, cant rails reduce the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
• Weather Resistance: Treated rails resist rot and decay, protecting the fence from moisture and UV damage.

(2ex) 125mm x 47mmt
The reference to (2ex) means the rails are cut from a 125mm x 47mm section of timber, therefore creating 2 rails from 1 section of timber.
