Answers to Common Questions About Fence Rails
Q1: What is a fence rail?
A fence rail is a horizontal board that connects fence posts and provides structure and support for the fence panels or pickets. It enhances the overall stability of the fence and helps maintain an even alignment.

Q2: How to build a post and rail fence?
To build a post and rail fence, first set posts at regular intervals, securing each with concrete. Attach rails between posts, securing them with nails or screws. Start at the top and add additional rails if required, depending on the fence height.

Q3: How many rails do I need for my fence?
Typically, a standard fence requires two to three rails, depending on its height and purpose. Lower fences may use two rails, while taller fences (6 feet or more) usually need three for added stability.

Q4: What size rail do I use for my fence?
Common rail sizes are 3" x 1.5" or 4" x 1.5". The size you choose depends on the fence height and expected load. Larger, thicker rails offer greater durability and are ideal for taller or high-traffic fences.

Q5: Which side do the rails attach to my fence?
Fence rails are usually attached to the back (or inside) of the fence, facing away from the public side. This positioning hides the rails for a cleaner look and provides additional security, as it limits access to the rail attachments.

Shrinkage/wood movement

Wood is a natural product and over time with extreme weather of rain and sun
the wood will contract and expand. This is not failure of the wood. Small
splits, cracks and knots can be wood filled where needed.

Wood may also move after installation which can cause issues but is completely unavoidable and is a result of being a natural product and is not a failing.

Wood Aftercare

All wood requires treatment to protect against the elements. This must be
done within 3 months of the timber being installed and annually thereafter.
