In detail

Spruce fence rails, all the essentials

Product description

Spruce fence rails serve as a horizontal cross member within a fence construction and carry narrow and wide fence pales or comparable elements. They are made from locally grown spruce and supplied planed.

Rails with a weather chamfer and half-round planed versions are available. The weather chamfer forms a sloping face and helps water run off the top. The half-round option, by contrast, gives a more strongly rounded appearance.

With the standard cross-sections 45 × 75 mm and 45 × 95 mm and freely selectable lengths, the rails can be matched to different fence installations for a specific project.

Also common are the terms cross rails, cross battens and rail timber.

The same rails in larch are available as Larch fence rails. As half-round cross rails we stock Softwood half-round rails, Robinia half-round rails and Sweet chestnut half-round rails. Pales, boards and posts are in the Fences & Fence Posts overview.

What sawn size and finished size mean for rails and pales is described in the article Sawn size and finished size.

Areas of use

Spruce fence rails are used as horizontal cross rails on garden, property and horse fences and on other fence constructions in garden and landscape construction.

Narrow and wide fence pales can be fixed to the rails. The appropriate dimension depends on the fence height, the post spacing and the build of the fence installation in question.

Origin & sustainability

The timber for our spruce fence rails comes from sustainably managed forests in Germany.

Delivery

Delivery is made through various freight partners. The lead time is as a rule approx. 2 to 4 weeks and can vary according to the version, the length to order, the order quantity and the delivery location.

Alongside small order quantities, larger quantities up to complete or several lorry loads can also be organised.

Depending on the scope of delivery and the vehicle used, a forklift or comparable lifting equipment may be needed for unloading.

Collection at our Hennef address is not possible, as only our offices are located there.

Good to know

Spruce fence rails, frequently asked questions

What do spruce fence rails cost?

Timber prices move with quantity, size and delivery location. That is why we calculate at current day rates rather than from outdated price lists. Your written quote follows promptly, usually within 24 hours.

Which sizes and lengths are available?

The standard cross-sections are 45 × 75 mm and 45 × 95 mm. Usual lengths are between 2.00 and 4.00 m. The rails can be cut to the length wanted for the specific project; special sizes can also be enquired about.

What is the advantage of a weather chamfer on fence rails?

The weather chamfer forms a sloping top face and thereby helps rainwater run off. Alternatively, the spruce fence rails are also available half-round planed.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery normally takes around 2 to 4 weeks and can vary depending on specification, requested length, order quantity and delivery location.
