Buy 2.4M 125MM x 47MM (2EX) Cant Rail - Pressure Treated Brown at East Coast Fencing
The 2.4 metre × 125 mm × 47 mm Cant Rail is machined from a standard 125 × 47 mm plank that’s sawn diagonally to yield two matching trapezoidal rails—hence the “2EX” designation. Although two rails emerge from each nominal-sized plank, they’re supplied individually as single 2.4 metre lengths, so you can order exactly the quantity you need. Pressure‑impregnated under high pressure with a brown preservative, this cant rail offers outstanding resistance to rot, fungal decay and insect attack, making it perfectly suited to the often damp and changeable British climate. The trapezoidal profile (wider at the base, narrower at the top) not only maximises yield but also encourages efficient water runoff and delivers a crisp, uniform sightline once installed.
Fitting is straightforward: simply cut each rail to the precise length required, slot into standard fencing brackets or secure with exterior‑grade screws, then align with your posts to achieve a perfectly level top line. The pressure treatment accepts paints, stains or oils with ease, although many choose to leave the rich brown tone exposed for a natural, low‑maintenance finish that blends seamlessly into garden borders and hedgerows. Whether you’re reinforcing raised beds, erecting chain‑link fencing or framing pergolas, this brown‑hued cant rail combines consistent dimensions, robust durability and minimal upkeep—keeping your outdoor projects looking sharp and performing reliably year after year.
