Treated softwood motorway rails are essential horizontal members used in traditional timber fencing. Manufactured from pressure treated softwood for exterior use above ground, these rails provide the structural support that fencing boards fix to between posts.
The squared profile and consistent dimensions make these rails suitable for a variety of fence construction methods, whether they span between posts or are fixed to the face of posts. Motorway rails are widely used in combination with featheredge boards and closeboard fencing to create robust, long-lasting boundary fencing.
These rails are commonly used alongside other fencing components including:
Fixings suitable for exterior-grade timber fence assemblies
Common uses
Horizontal rails for featheredge and closeboard fencing
Structural framework for boundary and garden fencing
Fence repair and replacement work
Why choose these motorway rails?
Pressure treated for improved resistance to rot, decay, and moisture
Suitable for exterior use above ground
Squared profile for straightforward fixing and alignment
Compatible with standard fencing construction methods
Suitable for both trade and DIY applications
Handling & installation notes
Rails can be cut to length using standard woodworking tools
Freshly cut ends should be re-treated where possible
Fix securely to posts using suitable exterior-grade fixings
Pressure treated motorway rails provide dependable performance as part of any timber fencing project, whether you’re completing a full installation or carrying out repairs.
