First Fences Introduces FlexiRail® Railing Gates

First Fences Introduces FlexiRail® Railing Gates
First Fence is pleased to announce the launch of a range of fully modular railing gates called FlexiRail®.

The New Range

FlexiRail® is a range of railing gates to match our railing panels. Suitable for parks, schools, and public spaces, these gates come in a range of heights, widths, colours, and single or double leaf styles.

FlexiRail® Ball Top

Classic Elegance

Features traditional spherical finials that provide a sophisticated, welcoming aesthetic, making it ideal for heritage properties, prestigious frontages, or domestic gardens.

Balanced Security

The decorative ball tops serve as a strong visual deterrent to climbing, providing robust perimeter security without the severe hazard posed by sharp, pointed edges.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Design

Blends high-security construction with a premium finish, ensuring your property is securely enclosed without looking overly fortified or industrial.

FlexiRail® Flat Top

Maximum Safety Profile

The enclosed top rail eliminates protruding bars, making it the safest choice for environments with children, such as schools, nurseries, and playgrounds.

Contemporary Clean Lines

Offers a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that perfectly complements modern residential developments, corporate premises, or contemporary public spaces.

Enhanced Structural Integrity

The continuous flat-top rail adds significant rigidity to the gate's frame, ensuring long-lasting durability and resistance to wear and tear in high-traffic areas.

FlexiRail® Bow Top

Iconic British Heritage

Showcases the classic 'hooped' design synonymous with traditional British parks and recreational grounds, offering a familiar and friendly appearance.

Inherently Child-Friendly

The smooth, curved tops remove any sharp corners or points, providing a secure boundary that prioritises safety for family gardens and community play areas.

Excellent Vandal Resistance

The continuous, looped tubular construction is incredibly difficult to bend, snap, or damage, offering a highly resilient fencing solution for public spaces.

FlexiRail® Vertical Bar

Formidable Deterrent

The straightforward, no-nonsense vertical bars provide a commanding visual and physical barrier, making it the premier choice for industrial, commercial, or high-security perimeters.

Anti-Climb Architecture

The sheer vertical alignment of the bars provides absolutely no footholds, drastically reducing the likelihood of unauthorised access or trespassing.

Heavy-Duty Practicality

Designed for sheer functionality and strength, this style offers reliable, low-maintenance access control tailored for areas that require strict security measures.

This isn’t goodbye…

The First Fence railing range has long been a staple, beautifully combining a period appearance with solid vertical bar infills. While our traditional dig-in and bolt-down gates have always provided a dependable, bespoke solution with dedicated handing and lock configurations specified at the point of order, we are delighted to introduce even greater versatility to our lineup. Building upon this trusted foundation, the new FlexiRail® range innovates in more ways than one.

..It’s a hello to a modular future.

Modular Design

Each gate leaf is entirely universally handed, meaning there is no fixed front, back, left, or right. Upon delivery, you have complete flexibility to configure the gate to suit your specific site. Whether you require a double gate or are simply undecided on the locking leaf, you can make these final decisions on the exact day of installation.

Easy-Fit UniSlide® Hardware

The FlexiRail® collection is the latest range to benefit from our innovative UniSlide® system. These simple-to-install hardware kits empower you to effortlessly determine the handing and outward face of your gate directly onsite.

BS 12604 Compliance: Safety as Standard

While the likelihood of a gate failing is exceptionally slim, we believe in eliminating risk at the source. To protect you, your family, and the wider public against the risk of single-hinge failure, three hinges are supplied as standard on every single gate.

Effortless Locking Integration

We offer a comprehensive selection of key latches, deadbolts, and digital keypad locks that are ready to install straight out of the box. With absolutely no structural modifications required, you can put the heavy tools away and enjoy a secure, beautifully finished gate with minimal effort.
