3.1m Recycled Plastic Horizontal Rail for Post and Rail System

3.1m Recycled Plastic Horizontal Rail for Post and Rail System

Post and rail fencing is a classic and versatile design with a long history of practical use. This traditional structure consists of vertical posts that support horizontal rails, forming a simple yet highly effective barrier.

During installation, robust posts are securely anchored in the ground to provide stability for the entire fence. Horizontal rails are then attached to the posts, creating the core framework of the fence. The number of rails can vary, typically ranging from two to three, resulting in a visually attractive pattern.

This type of fencing can be made from various materials, including wood and metal. Modern alternatives frequently use vinyl or recycled plastic, providing greater durability and sustainability.

The simple design of post and rail fencing is highly effective for marking boundaries. Often used in rural or agricultural settings to contain livestock or define property lines, this style of fencing is also suited for residential areas. In urban environments, it serves both decorative and functional roles, providing a rustic and natural-looking border that enhances various architectural styles and landscapes.

We recommend M10 x 160mm galvanised bolts for fixing this system; note they are not included with the product.
