Product description
Softwood half-round rails are made from machine-rounded softwood and then halved lengthwise. That produces the typical combination of a rounded outer face and a straight cut face. This version is often used as a cross rail in fence building. Comparable half-round rails are also offered commercially as machine-rounded and split fence rails.
The timber species used – pine, spruce and fir – can be composed differently depending on the batch available.
Also common are the terms half-round rails, half-round poles and half palisades.
Without impregnation the same rail is available as Robinia half-round rails or Sweet chestnut half-round rails; the matching stakes are Softwood stakes. All stakes and posts are in the Stakes & Posts overview.
How rails, boards and mesh are fixed to the stakes is described in the guide Cleft post or round post.
