It is a flat 132 x 32 x 6mm steel plate with a 25 x 15mm slot at each end for the rail bolts. A straight post takes two plates, one for the top rail and one for the bottom. The price shown is for one plate, with a minimum order of 10, which is enough for five posts. Use it to complete a new run or to replace plates in a damaged section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a fence fitting.

Each post takes one plate for the top rail and one for the bottom. To work out how many you need, count the intermediate posts and multiply by two. A bay bag includes two fishplates, so if you are buying bay kits you may not need these at all unless you want spares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePost position\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlates per post\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChoose\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight run\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThis plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnd of the run\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/galvanised-steel-palisade-fencing-end-fishplate\"\u003eEnd fishplate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/galvanised-palisade-corner-fishplate\"\u003eCorner fishplate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor new fencing, each \u003ca href=\"\/products\/palisade-fencing-bay-bag\"\u003ebay bag\u003c\/a\u003e supplies two plates and the fixings for one bay.
