Specification of Cattle Rail

Cattle Rail is typically available in 6-meter or 8-meter lengths, which can be cut and used as per specific requirements.

The most common size for cattle rail is 115 mm x 42 mm wide, with a 2 mm wall thickness.

It comes in pre-galvanised steel, without any painting or powder coating on top.

The rails can be purchased individually or in bundles, and they are usually cut and welded to steel posts by fencing contractors.

Design of Cattle Rail

Cattle Rail fences are steel grey and have a tubular shape.

They can be cut to different sizes, offering options for 1, 2, 3, or 4 rail configurations. However, they do not come with any powder coating and require painting to enhance their appearance. Over time, pre-galvanised cattle rail fences may develop white rust, which affects their aesthetics but does not significantly impact their long-term corrosion performance. It’s important to note that Cattle Rail farm gates are typically not considered safe for horses.
