Each rail is a pole split along its length, so it has one flat face and one rounded face. The bark is scraped off rather than the pole being machine rounded, so the rails keep a natural, slightly irregular shape. They are 3.6m long, with a diameter that varies along the length, generally between 100mm and 125mm. They are green pressure treated and sold individually. Farmers, smallholders, equestrian yards, estates and landscapers use them for paddocks, field boundaries, woodland edges and gardens where a softer, countryside look is wanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA natural look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause they are peeled rather than turned, these rails are not perfectly round or uniform.
