FAQs

What is the lifespan of the Arris Rails?

What type of fixings should I use?

Use galvanized or stainless steel screws or nails that are suitable for exterior use.

Can I paint or stain the Arris Rails?

Yes, you can paint or stain the Arris Rails to match the rest of your fencing. Make sure the wood is dry before applying any treatment.

Are these rails suitable for use in contact with the ground?

While the pressure treatment makes them resistant to decay, it's best to avoid direct ground contact to extend their lifespan.

How do I cut the Arris Rails?

Use a saw designed for cutting wood, such as a hand saw or a circular saw.

What is the recommended spacing for the Arris Rails?

The spacing will depend on the height and design of your fence. Generally, space them according to the feather edge boards, ensuring they provide adequate support.

Can I use these rails for other types of fencing?

These rails are designed specifically for feather edge fencing. Other fencing types may require different types of support.

Troubleshooting

Fence appears unstable or wobbly after installation.

Check the fixings on the Arris Rails and the feather edge boards; tighten or replace as necessary. Ensure the posts are correctly set.

Arris Rails show signs of rot or decay prematurely.

Check for any damage that may have compromised the pressure treatment, and ensure adequate drainage around the base of the fence.

Feather edge boards are not aligned properly.

Re-check the alignment of the Arris Rails and ensure they are level and correctly spaced. Re-adjust the boards.
