Engineered explicitly to fix the most common point of failure in traditional closeboard fencing, this pre-shaped steel bracket repairs a snapped or rotted arris rail right where it slots into the concrete or timber fence post—saving you from purchasing expensive replacement rails or tearing down intact fence panels.

Fabricated from structural carbon steel and finished with a hot-dip galvanized protective layer, this repair shoe mirrors the triangular profile of standard arris rails. It slots tightly over the broken rail end and anchors securely onto the face of the fence post. By reinforcing the weakened joint with high-strength steel, it provides immediate resistance against heavy wind loads and heavy impact, extending the life of your existing fence for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.

  • Instant Structural Fix: Repairs broken or rotted arris rail joints in minutes, bypassing the need to dismantle or rebuild the fence section.

  • Saves Money and Materials: Reuses your existing, intact timber fence panels by structurally bridging the broken connection point.

  • Precision Triangular Fit: Engineered to slide cleanly onto standard triangular arris rails for a tight, wobble-free reinforcement.

  • Industrial Hot-Dip Galvanized Coating: Zinc-treated to prevent rust and corrosion, even when exposed to trapped moisture inside dark post mortices.

Overview

Over time, high winds putting pressure on closeboard fence panels place immense stress on the ends of the horizontal arris rails. When the tenon joint inside the post mortice rots or snaps under wind load, the entire fence section sags and loses its structural strength. The Heavy-Duty Arris Rail Mortice Repair Bracket acts as a structural splint, transferring the weight of the fence bay directly back into the post through solid plate steel.

The bracket features a flat flange that mounts flush onto the face of your timber or concrete post, paired with a formed triangular pocket that cradles the arris rail. Thanks to its multi-hole fixing layout, you can easily drive heavy wood screws or masonry anchors through the bracket, clamping the broken timber components back into perfect, rigid alignment.

Key Applications

  • Closeboard Fence Maintenance: Repairing broken horizontal rails on traditional morticed timber or concrete fence posts.

  • Wind Damage Reinforcement: Strengthening weakened or straining arris rail joints before autumn and winter gales arrive.

  • Retrofit Property Upgrades: Securing loose or wobbling fence bays on older properties without replacing full panels.

Contractor Fast Installation & Alignment Tip

Pro Tip: When an arris rail snaps, the heavy fence panel usually sags downward, making the rail end drop below its original line. If you try to screw the repair bracket on while the panel is sagging, your fence line will dry out crooked and out of square.

The Trade Method: Before checking any fixings or placing the bracket, slide a heavy-duty car jack or a sturdy timber lever underneath the bottom gravel board of the sagging fence section. Gently pump or pry the fence panel up until your horizontal arris rail is perfectly level and aligned with its original mortice slot. Hold the panel steady in this elevated position using a temporary prop block, slide the arris rail repair bracket tightly into place over the joint, and drive your screws home. Once secured, remove the jack; the steel bracket will hold the fence perfectly straight and level at its original height.

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.

Overview

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.

Dimensions & Technical Product Matrix

Structural Attribute Engineering Specification
Bracket Typology Universal Face-Fix Arris Rail Repair Saddle / Spur
Compatibility Profile Universal fit for all standard triangular cross-section arris rails
Material Base Heavy-Gauge Structural Carbon Steel Plate
Surface Weatherproofing Industrial Hot-Dip Galvanized (Minimum 55-micron layer)
Post Flange Width Wide-profile flat fixing flange for maximum surface contact
Fixing Hole Configuration Multi-hole array pre-punched for heavy-duty exterior timber screws
Primary Failure Protection Eradicates fence line sagging, split rail ends, and wind-blown bay failure

Key Applications

  • Universal Fence Maintenance: Repairing face-fixed or flush-mounted horizontal rails on traditional timber fence lines.

  • 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.

Contractor Fast Installation & “Anti-Split” Pre-Drilling Tip

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.
