Chester-le-Street fence rail supply — pressure-treated, sized for closeboard
Fence rail is what most Chester-le-Street fencers reach for first. Fence rails (often called arris rails) are the horizontal timbers between posts that the closeboard fence boards nail onto. Standard sections are 3"×1.5" for lighter work and 4"×2" for taller / windier fences. We deliver across Chester-le-Street and the wider Durham footprint — Next-day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Pelton or Great Lumley property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

Common uses
Closeboard fence between posts, post-and-rail boundary, paddock fencing, repairs after a storm.
How to install / use
Most 6ft closeboard fence uses two rails per bay; taller (7ft+) uses three. Rails sit in rebated post slots, or sit on the face of the post with rail brackets. We stock both 12ft and 14ft lengths so bays can be built without scarf joints.

What Chester-le-Street looks like for fencing
The River Wear borders some of the Chester-le-Street and Lumley plots — riverbank fencing wants more careful spec (pressure-treated, gravel boards mandatory, posts set further back from the bank to avoid washout). Mostly fertile loam soil, posts go in easy.
