FAQs

What type of screws should I use with this bracket?

The bracket is designed for standard exterior-grade wood screws or bolts. The exact size will depend on your post and arris rail thickness, but typically self-tapping screws of 4-5mm diameter and sufficient length (e.g., 50-75mm) are suitable. Always ensure the fasteners are appropriate for outdoor use.

Can I use this bracket for other types of fencing?

This bracket is specifically designed for securing arris rails on feather edge fencing. While it might physically attach to other structures, its design and dimensions are optimized for this particular application.

Does the bracket come with fixings (screws/bolts)?

No, the Taskar Fence Arris Rail Bracket typically does not include fixings. These need to be purchased separately to match your specific post and rail materials and desired fastening method.

How many brackets do I need per fence section?

The number of brackets required depends on the length of your arris rails and the spacing of your fence posts. Generally, one bracket is used at each post connection point for each arris rail.

What is the main purpose of an arris rail?

Arris rails are horizontal timbers used in fencing to provide structural support and a means to attach vertical elements like feather edge boards or panels.

Is the silver colour purely aesthetic or functional?

The silver colour is a result of the galvanisation process, which provides a protective zinc coating. This coating is primarily functional, offering corrosion resistance, rather than being purely decorative.

Troubleshooting

Bracket does not sit flush against the post.

Ensure the post surface is free from obstructions or unevenness. Check if the correct size fasteners are being used, as oversized fasteners can cause the bracket to sit at an angle.

Arris rail feels loose after installation.

Verify that all pre-drilled holes have been used for fastening. Ensure the correct type and length of screws or bolts are used to firmly secure the rail within the bracket and the bracket to the post.

Signs of rust appearing on the bracket.

Minor surface rust can occur on galvanised steel. This is often cosmetic and does not compromise structural integrity. For persistent rust, ensure the bracket was not damaged during installation, exposing the base metal. If significant, consider a rust-inhibiting paint suitable for galvanized surfaces.
