Counter Rail 10ft (3m)

Counter Rail

With durable timber construction and a practical garden-ready design, Counter Rail 10ft (3m) is designed to make garden boundaries more secure and attractive. This well-made fence provides a dependable solution for privacy and outdoor organisation. It also suits homeowners comparing fencing for gardens where durability and appearance are equally important.

The counter rail is an essential component when constructing an arris rail fencing system using a capping rail. Fitted along the top of the fence, it provides a secure fixing point for featheredge boards while also supporting the capping rail above. Installed just below the capping, the counter rail allows the featheredge boards to be neatly nailed in place, helping maintain a straight, stable fence line. It adds extra strength to the overall structure and plays a key role in achieving a tidy, professional finish. Supplied in a 3 metre length, the counter rail is available in either Brown or Green, making it easy to match with other fencing components.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
