Mortised Wall or Post Plates

Plates or Half posts, as they are sometimes called, are used instead of an End Post. They are helpful where the fence runs finish at a wall or on an existing unmortised post. They can also be used where the mortise detail on an existing end post does not match our standard post mortise detail.

Plates are normally prepared as part of your fence order. We do keep some sizes of mortised plates in stock, so if you only need a mortised plate, please contact the Sales Team. 

Plates can be any length between 0.9m and 2.5m, with or without mortises and are usually made from 95mm x 47mm (4in x 2in) timber. Our Team will help you select the right plate length and ensure it is mortised to meet your needs.

Please note: Wall and post plates machined specifically for your order are bespoke; therefore, we cannot offer refunds or exchanges.

How to Use

When using a Wallplate for closeboard, you can add a weather (shaped top) to the top of the plate to match round or pyramid top (four-way weathered) posts. Please select a plate length 100mm longer than the fence height and specify the post top you want when requesting your quote.
For closeboard using back weathered or flat top posts, the wall plate will be the same height as the fence.

When used as a post plate for closeboard, the top is usually square, and the plate is the same length as the fence height. For use with palisade, the plate would again be the same height as the fence but would normally have a weather to match the palisade tops.

To fix to a wall, use three 100mm coach screws and plugs.
or
to fix to an existing post, use three Timber framing screws.
Installation Tips

We can supply the appropriate fixings coach-screws for walls or index-landscape-and-framing-screws for post plates.
