Arris Rails & Featheredge Board Fencing
If you’re looking for serious durability and a traditional look, arris rails combined with featheredge boards are the gold standard in garden fencing. This method uses horizontal triangular arris rails to support overlapping featheredge boards, creating a fence that’s stronger and more adaptable than standard pre-made panels.
This style of fencing is often chosen for its strength and longevity, with lifespans of 15+ years when properly maintained.
At UK Fencing, we specialise in building these bespoke fences for gardens of all shapes and sizes — especially useful for uneven ground or sloping gardens where standard panels won’t work.
What Is Arris Rail Fencing?
Arris rails are triangular timber beams fixed horizontally between fence posts. Onto these rails, featheredge boards are nailed individually, overlapping slightly to form a solid wall of timber.
Unlike lap fencing or Euro panels, this is a board-by-board build, giving you a completely tailored fence with maximum strength.
