Timber Hoarding Timber Horizontal Rail 75mm x 50mm x 3000mm Long
Create a solid, durable backing for your site fencing with our 75mm x 50mm Timber Hoarding Rails. While the posts hold the line upright, these horizontal rails form the "skeleton" of the system, connecting the posts and providing the necessary fixing points for your Plywood or OSB face panels.
Measuring 3000mm (approx 10ft) in length, these rails are designed to span standard post intervals, ensuring your hoarding system remains rigid against wind loading and site impact.
Key Features & Benefits
Robust 3" x 2" Profile: The 75mm x 50mm dimension is the industry standard for hoarding rails. It offers the perfect balance of structural strength and manageable weight, preventing the fence from bowing under the weight of the 18mm or 11mm panels.
Pressure Treated Protection: Like our posts, these rails are fully pressure treated (tanalised). This preservation process protects the timber from rot, damp, and insect infestation, ensuring the frame of your hoarding lasts as long as the project requires.
Rough Sawn Finish: The textured surface ensures a strong grip for nails and screws, making it easier to secure the heavy face panels firmly to the framework.
System Installation
The rails are the second step in the "Build Your Own" hoarding installation process:
The Frame: Once your posts are concreted in, these rails are fixed horizontally across the posts.
Three-Rail Stability: For standard 2.4m high hoarding, we strongly recommend installing three rails per bay (top, middle, and bottom). This prevents the timber sheets from warping and ensures the fence is secure against strong winds.
Fixing Surface: The 75mm face usually sits vertically to provide a wide target for nailing the cladding sheets, while the 50mm depth provides the structural stiffness.

Not sure how many rails you need? A general rule of thumb is 3 rails for every 2.4m section, but you can use our handy calculator based on your total perimeter length.
