Rebated capping – pretty and practical
We offer a choice of two pressure treated capping rails - rebated and flat-bottomed. Both are made using kiln-dried Scandinavian redwood, we could use cheaper raw materials but they rarely stay straight. Flat-bottomed capping can be viewed here.
Protecting your fencing from the elements
With a featheredge fence we always suggest you use gravel boards to stop vertical featheredge boards from soaking up moisture. This tends to transfer from the patio slaps, grass or garden soil beneath it.
Capping rails provide a finishing touch to the top of your fence and help to deflect rainwater from the top of the featheredge. They are not a substitute for applying Ronseal End Grain Protector which should be applied to any cross-cut pressure treated timber boards.
How the Rebated capping works
Our rebated fence capping provides a little more leeway on featheredge fences where the ground is sloping. The 25mm rebate provides ample space for featheredge slats and 20mm finished pales providing they are reasonably well aligned. On sloping ground the gravel board should be fixed first, featheredge cut at a slight angle to keep the tops horizontal and then the capping should slot nicely over the top following the hopefully consistent fall in the featheredge. Once again, these rebated featheredge capping timbers are supplied in 3.6 metre lengths.
This product is pressure treated using Next generation TANALITH E wood preservative which provides a 15 year TREATED-RIGHT Performance Warranty against wood decay and insect attack (terms and conditions apply). It is covered by capping provided not in ground contact.
Finally some bespoke capping options
We also sell right angled channel for where horizontal cladding butts up at building corners. This 2.4 metre moulding would need a bit of trimming but would provide a neat transition. If you have made a square topped pale fence than you might want to look at our planed PSE timbers. Popular sizes include ex.75mm, ex.100mm and ex.150mm and all at 20mm thick. These PSE (planed square edge) timers can be cut to size by the tradesman to provide a bespoke capping for the top of the fence.
