Cant fencing rail from softwood timber

  • Cant fencing rails are a popular choice among homeowners and professionals. They're used for a variety of outdoor projects, particularly fencing. A cant rail fence is not only structurally stable, but it's also protected from water buildups, due to the trapezoid shape of the rails. It allows for vertical pales to sit an inch or more away from the fence posts.

    Follow the height/rail ratio as described below to ensure your fence retains optimal structural integrity:
    - 2.4 m and above - use 4+ cant rails per bay
    - from 1.6 m to 1.8 m - use 3 rails per bay
    - from 0 m to 1.5 m - use 2 rails per bay

    IMPORTANT: Please note that our 26-tonne vehicles cannot get down very narrow lanes (less than 5m wide) or where there is no room to turn the truck around. Due to safety concerns, we cannot lift timber over parked vehicles or in any situation where safety is not 100% ensured.

    FAQ
    Is a cant rail better than an arris rail
    ?
    The type of rail you use depends entirely on your personal choice and preferences. The main difference is in installation - arris rails tend to be fitted between 
    fence posts, while cant rails are fixed across the front of the posts. An advantage of cant rails is that you don't need to use notched posts. However, some say that their point of installation makes them weaker. Being fitted into the fence post does make arris rails quite strong, although an arris rail with a tapered end can eventually fail at the thinner ends. So it's completely up to you which style and installation you're going for. Both cant and arris rails will ultimately improve the stability of your fence.
