Rails

At Laker, we have an array of Rails to cater to your unique requirements, from Fence Rails, Arris Rails, Shaped Rails and Capping rails.

Arris rails are manufactured by cutting a square section of wood diagonally to form it’s triangular shape.

Shaped end arris rails are shaped at each end so they can fit into timber or concrete morticed fence posts. These are also sometimes known as scarfed arris rails.

A counter rail is mortised into the timber fence posts to provide stability and extra support for the capping rail.

A capping rail is usually pressure treated and sits on top of the fence to protect the fence from retaining water to help it last longer. It also helps to finish off the look of the fence.
