Arris Rail Mortice Brackets – Galvanised

Mortice brackets are one of those fencing essentials that do not get much attention until you need them and cannot find them. These galvanised arris rail mortice brackets are designed to secure arris rails to concrete posts, making them a staple component when putting up feather edge panel fencing or carrying out repairs on an existing fence line. The galvanised finish means they are built to handle the outdoor environment without corroding away after the first wet autumn.

Traditional arris rails slot into mortice holes cut into timber posts, which works well enough when the post is wood. Concrete posts are a different matter entirely. Mortice brackets bridge that gap, giving you a solid mechanical fixing point on the post so the rail sits securely without relying on bodged timber offcuts or inappropriate fixings. They are also the go-to solution when a wooden post has rotted at the mortice point and the hole is too far gone to hold the rail on its own.

Where Arris Rail Mortice Brackets Get Used

On a repair job, these brackets can save a fence run without replacing the entire post. That alone makes them worth keeping a box of on the van. You cut out the damaged section of rail, fit fresh timber, strap the mortice bracket to the post, and the fence is standing again in far less time than digging out and replacing a concrete post would take.

New builds using slotted concrete posts benefit from mortice brackets as a belt-and-braces approach, particularly at the base of the fence where rail ends are most exposed to damp and ground movement. The galvanised steel construction holds up to the freeze-thaw cycles that work traditional timber joints loose over time.

Available individually or in bulk, these brackets are a sensible stock item for any fencing contractor or groundworks team who regularly installs or maintains close-board fencing. At this price, there is no reason to be caught short on a job.
