A counter rail is a key structural component in closeboard fencing, running along the rear top side of the fence to provide a solid, stable base for attaching a capping rail. This not only enhances the fence’s appearance but also prevents movement in the featheredge boards over time.
Crafted from UC3 pressure-treated timber for maximum durability, our counter rails are built to withstand the British weather, reducing the risk of rot and extending the lifespan of your fence. They fix neatly onto V-notch fence posts and can be easily installed using 65mm nails, ensuring a secure and professional finish.
