Description
A galvanised steel angle rail for palisade fencing, cut and drilled for one 2750mm bay. Every palisade bay needs two of these, one near the top of the pales and one near the bottom. The rail is 2730mm long, which gives finished post centres of 2750mm once it is bolted to the fishplates. It has a slotted hole at each end for an M12 bolt and 17 holes along its length for the pales, so there is no drilling on site. The same rail fits our 1.8m, 2.0m and 2.4m fences, because only the pales and posts change with height. The price shown is for one rail.
Fixings are not included. A bay bag supplies the bolts, snap-off nuts and fishplates for one bay, and each bay kit already includes two rails.
Why this rail works
The holes are already spaced. The 17 pale holes are drilled at 154mm centres, so every pale lands in the right place and the gaps along the bay come out even. You set out the posts; the rail sets out the pales.
Slotted ends take up small errors. The bolt holes at each end are slots, not round holes. If a post has been concreted a few millimetres out, the slot gives you room to line the rail up with the fishplate without redrilling.
An angle section is stiff. A 45 x 45mm angle resists bending in both directions, so the rail holds the pales in a straight line across the full 2730mm span.
Galvanised to EN ISO 1460. The zinc coating protects the steel outdoors with no painting, and it matches the posts, pales and fixings.
Where it is used
New palisade runs built from individual parts, extensions to an existing run, and repairs where a vehicle has bent a rail and the bay has to be taken down and rebuilt. Two rails are needed for every bay, whatever the height of the fence.

Choosing what you need
Count two rails per bay. A run of ten bays needs twenty rails, eleven posts, 170 pales, ten bay bags and the right fishplates at the ends and corners. If you are building complete bays, the bay kits are simpler, because each one brings two rails, a post, 17 pales and a bay bag together. Buy rails on their own for repairs, spares or runs built from parts.
| Fence height | Rails per bay | Pales | Post |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.8m | 2 | 1.8m pales | 1.8m post |
| 2.0m | 2 | 2.0m pales | 2.0m post |
| 2.4m | 2 | 2.4m pales | 2.4m post |
Complete bays: 1.8m, 2.0m or 2.4m bay kits. Fixings: one bay bag per bay, with end and corner fishplates where the run stops or turns.

Fitting and care
Pass the fishplates through the slots in the posts and bolt one rail to each side with the M12 bolts, leaving them snug. Hang the pales on the rails with the M8 bolts, keeping a 50mm gap at the ground, and check that the bay is level and the pales are plumb. Then tighten every nut until it shears. Treat any scuffed or cut surface with zinc-rich touch-up paint, and look the rails over at routine inspections, especially after an impact.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one rail?
Yes, the price is for one rail. Each bay needs two.
Does it fit every height?
Yes. The rail is the same for our 1.8m, 2.0m and 2.4m palisade. Only the pales and posts change length.
Are bolts included?
No. A bay bag supplies the M12 rail bolts, the M8 pale bolts, the snap-off nuts and two fishplates for one bay.
Will it fit my existing fence?
Check the pale spacing first. This rail has pale holes at 154mm centres and is made for 2750mm post centres; fences by other makers can differ.
How is it delivered?
It is 2730mm long, so it may need pallet delivery at extra cost. We will confirm delivery with you before dispatch.
