FAQs

What is an arris rail?

An arris rail is a type of timber rail used in fencing, typically shaped with a chamfered (beveled) edge to fit into the top of fence posts, providing a surface for attaching fence boards or panels.

What type of screws should I use?

The brackets are designed for 4.0mm diameter screws, gauge 8.

What does 'Corrosion Rating 3' mean?

Corrosion Rating 3 indicates suitability for urban and industrial areas with a low salt atmosphere. It offers a moderate level of protection against rust.

Can I use these brackets on metal posts?

These brackets are specifically designed for use with timber posts. Use with other materials may require alternative fixing methods.

What are the dimensions of the bracket?

The bracket measures 90mm in length, 60mm in width, and has a thickness of 2.0mm.

Is delivery available everywhere in the UK?

No, delivery is not available to the Scottish Highlands due to geographical restrictions.

How many brackets are in a pack?

The product description mentions pack dimensions and weight, but not the quantity of brackets per pack. Please refer to the specific product listing for pack size information.

Troubleshooting

Bracket feels loose after installation

Ensure all four screw holes are used and that screws are tightened securely into both the arris rail and the timber post. Check that the screws are of the recommended diameter and gauge.

Visible signs of rust appearing

While galvanised, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments (e.g., high salt, pollution) may eventually affect the finish. For extended longevity in such conditions, consider applying a suitable metal paint or protective coating after installation.

Difficulty aligning bracket with rail and post

Ensure the arris rail is correctly seated against the post. Minor adjustments to the rail's position may be needed before marking and drilling pilot holes if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong and stable connection for fencing structures.
  • Galvanised finish offers good protection against rust in typical outdoor conditions.
  • Standard dimensions make it easy to integrate into existing fencing projects.
  • Simple to install with pre-drilled holes.
  • Suitable for both new builds and repairs.

Cons

  • Delivery is not available to the Scottish Highlands.
  • Primarily designed for timber posts; may require adaptation for other materials.
  • Corrosion resistance is rated for low salt atmospheres; may not be suitable for harsh coastal environments without additional protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Position the arris rail against the timber post where you intend to fix it.
  2. Align the bracket over the arris rail and against the timber post, ensuring the screw holes are clear.
  3. Secure the bracket using appropriate 4.0mm diameter (8 gauge) screws, driving them through the pre-drilled holes into both the arris rail and the post. Use at least two screws for each connection point for maximum stability.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for use with timber posts and standard arris rails.
  • Ensure your screws are 4.0mm in diameter and gauge 8.

Care:

  • The galvanised finish provides inherent protection. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the galvanised coating.
