Wooden Gates For Bucks, Berks, Herts & Oxon
Eliminate the cost, time, and hassle of replacing an entire fence panel with our Heavy-Duty Universal Arris Rail Repair Bracket. Specifically engineered as a high-strength structural splint, this face-fixing steel shoe permanently repairs and reinforces snapped, cracked, or rotting horizontal arris rails right at the connection point to your timber fence post.
Forged from premium structural carbon steel and treated with an industrial hot-dip galvanized coating, this bracket is built to survive decades of harsh outdoor exposure. Its pre-shaped triangular saddle cradles standard arris rails perfectly, bridging the broken joint and bolting directly onto the flat face of the fence post. It provides immediate, rigid resistance against heavy wind leverage and seasonal timber movement for a fraction of the cost of structural timber replacements.
Universal Face-Fix Engineering: Mounts directly flush onto the flat surface of any timber fence post—no complicated mortice slotting required.
Drastically Reduces Repair Costs: Saves you from dismantling intact featheredge boards or purchasing expensive replacement rails.
Heavy-Gauge Wind Defense: Formed from solid steel plate to absorb high lateral forces and stop your fence bays from bowing or shaking.
Rust-Proof Galvanized Armor: Hot-dip zinc treated to completely prevent rust and structural degradation at moisture-trapping wood joints.

When strong gales hit closeboard or featheredge fencing, the immense surface area acts like a sail, transferring thousands of Newtons of force to the ends of the horizontal arris rails. Over time, this repetitive leverage causes the wood grain to split or rot where it meets the post. The Universal Arris Rail Repair Bracket slides right over the failed joint like a structural sleeve, anchoring the loose rail back to the post with the unyielding strength of commercial plate steel.
Unlike alternative repair methods that require taking down large sections of the fence line, this face-mount bracket can be installed completely from one side of the boundary. The multi-hole fixing configuration across both the post flange and the triangular saddle allows you to use heavy-duty exterior wood screws to pull the warped timber components back into a perfectly flush, level, and secure line.

Pre-Winter Storm Proofing: Reinforcing older, weathered, or micro-cracked arris rail joints before harsh winter storms strike.
Commercial Fencing Repairs: Fast, high-turnaround repair work for landlords, local authorities, and estate managers needing code-compliant perimeter security.
Pro Tip: Because an arris rail repair bracket forces multiple heavy-duty screws into a very concentrated area near the already weakened or split end of a timber rail, driving screws directly into dry wood can worsen the split, causing the repair to fail.
The Trade Method: Prop up and level your sagging fence bay using a lever or a vehicle jack. Hold the bracket tightly against the joint, and mark your screw holes onto the timber using a pencil. Remove the bracket and use a cordless drill with a 3mm or 4mm wood drill bit to pre-drill pilot holes at least 30mm deep into the arris rail and the post. Replace the bracket and drive your heavy-duty exterior screws home. This removes a small core of wood fibers, allowing the screw threads to cut a clean channel without creating internal outward pressure that could split the timber rail.
