Material and treatment – British timber, rough sawn, and pressure treated

Premium British timber

British timber is renowned for its consistency, workability, and longevity when properly treated. By choosing a 75mm Rough Sawn Rail manufactured from premium British timber, you’re investing in a material that performs well under typical outdoor conditions, including changes in temperature and moisture.

Rough sawn finish

The rough sawn surface offers several benefits:

• Enhanced grip for fixings: Rough texture provides better bonding for nails, screws, and fittings, reducing the likelihood of slippage during installation.
• Aesthetic appeal: The natural, rugged look complements traditional fencing and landscaping projects, lending an authentic and timeless character.
• Improved coating adherence: If you plan to repaint or seal, a rough sawn surface can improve coating adhesion and long-term protection.

Pressure treated for lasting protection

Pressure treatment adds resilience against:

• Rot and decay: Extended protection against the elements helps maintain structural integrity over time.
• Insect attack: Treated timber is less vulnerable to pests that can compromise the stability of fencing and other outdoor structures.
• Weathering: The combination of treatment and durable timber gives you confidence that the rail will perform well in exposed environments.

Practical applications – fencing, landscaping, and outdoor construction

Fencing frameworks

The 75mm thickness provides the strength needed for robust fencing frameworks. Whether you’re building a perimeter fence, garden boundary, or decorative screen, these rails act as reliable horizontal or vertical components that resist warping and flexing.

Landscaping features

For landscape projects, the rails can be used in edging, planters, raised beds, or boardwalk supports. The durable construction and treated finish help ensure longevity in outdoor spaces that encounter soil moisture, ground contact, or occasional splash zones.

General outdoor construction

Beyond fencing and landscaping, these rails are suitable for various outdoor constructs, such as trellises, pergolas, gates, and simple supporting members. Their balanced combination of strength, workability, and weather resistance makes them a versatile option for many yard projects.

Sizing and availability – two practical lengths

• 3.0m x 75mm x 47mm
• 3.6m x 75mm x 47mm

Having two length options allows for efficient planning and fewer joins in longer runs, saving time on-site. The 75mm thickness is compatible with common fixings and supports a range of configurations, whether you are building a straight fence line or a curved garden feature.

Installation tips for best results

• Pre-drill fixings to prevent splitting, especially near ends and corners.
• Use stainless steel or treated timber screws to maintain longevity and prevent corrosion.
• Seal or stain if you want to enhance color and protection beyond the factory treatment.
• Allow for seasonal expansion and contraction by planning for slight gaps or flexible fittings in long runs.
• Treat end grain with care; consider additional end-seal products to extend life where cuts expose fresh wood.

These practical tips help you maximize the performance of your 75mm Rough Sawn Rail installations and ensure a professional finish that lasts for years.
