38x88mm Treated rails (Motorway Rail)

The 38mm x 88mm Treated Rails, commonly known as Motorway Rails, are heavy-duty horizontal fencing rails designed for use in closeboard, featheredge and post-and-rail fencing systems. Manufactured from quality softwood and pressure treated for enhanced durability, these rails provide strong structural support across long fence runs.

Performance & Installation

Motorway rails are fixed horizontally between timber fence posts to create the main structural framework of the fence. Vertical featheredge boards or panels are then secured to the rails, forming a solid and stable boundary.

For installation, secure rails using exterior-grade galvanised nails or screws to prevent corrosion. Ensure correct spacing between rails to maintain consistent board fixing and structural integrity across the fence line.
