Why choose 38mm Rough Sawn Rail?

There are several reasons why the 38mm rough sawn rail stands out for British landscapes and beyond:

  • Premium British Timber: Sourced from trusted British forests, this timber brings quality, consistency, and a natural beauty that complements many outdoor spaces.
  • Rough Sawn Finish: The textured surface not only adds rustic charm but also helps with grip and paint or stain adhesion, should you choose to treat the rails.
  • Pressure Treated for Weather Resistance: Long-lasting durability is achieved through pressure treatment, protecting against rot, fungi, and insect attack in a variety of weather conditions.
  • Strength and Versatility: With a robust 38mm thickness, these rails provide structural integrity for fencing, landscaping features, and general outdoor constructions.
  • Wide Range of Widths: The rail is available in several widths to suit different applications and design ambitions, giving you the flexibility to match your project requirements.

Product range and specifications

Empress Fencing offers a concise selection of sizes to fit common project dimensions while maintaining quality and consistency:

  • 3.6m x 88mm x 38mm
  • 3.6m x 100mm x 38mm
  • 3.6m x 150mm x 38mm
  • 3.6m x 200mm x 38mm

These options enable you to tailor the rail to the exact needs of your fencing height, post spacing, or landscaping feature. Whether you’re building a sturdy boundary fence, creating a decorative garden edge, or crafting a practical railing for steps and terraces, the 38mm rough sawn rail offers the right balance of weight, durability, and workability.

Applications – fencing, landscaping, and outdoor construction

  • Fencing: For robust garden or boundary fencing, the 38mm thick rail provides solid support and resistance to weather-influenced wear. The rough sawn finish complements a traditional or rustic aesthetic, while the pressure-treated timber ensures longevity in exposed environments.
  • Landscaping: Use these rails as edging or structural elements in landscape design. Their durability makes them suitable for planters, raised beds, or retaining features that require reliable, weather-ready timber.
  • General Outdoor Construction: From pergola components to deck framing and outdoor furniture supports, the 38mm rough sawn rail can adapt to various structural roles. Its strength supports both functional and stylistic elements of outdoor spaces.

Installation considerations and care

  • Preparation: Before installation, inspect the timber for any defects and ensure you have the correct length and width for your project. The 38mm thickness provides substantial structural capacity, but proper fastening and spacing are essential.
  • Fastening: Use corrosion-resistant fixings suitable for outdoor use. Pre-drilling may help prevent splitting, especially in harder or drier British timbers.
  • Finishing: While the rails come pressure treated for weather resistance, you may choose to seal or stain the timber to achieve a particular look or to enhance UV protection. The rough sawn surface accepts finishes well, allowing for personalization without compromising the timber’s integrity.
  • Maintenance: Regular checks for wear, loose fixings, and any signs of damage will help extend the lifespan of your installation. Re-treatment or re-staining over time can maintain both appearance and protection against the elements.
