The traditional timber rail fence has been a mainstay of the equine industry for many years. The black rail look is one any rural traveller or worker would know well, but they also likely see the problems that timber rails show over time.
Like any piece of timber, a wooden rail fence degrades with time. It succumbs to rot, loses its colour and gets damaged by horses. This results in a weaker fence that requires continuous upkeep, putting a strain on your bottom line over many years. Waratah Fencing is here to tell you that there is a great solution for your equine fencing, and it is available to you right now.
Waratah Fencing Flex Rail Electric is the modern solution for your equine fencing needs, without the downsides of a timber rail system. It is made from 100% recycled plastic, is strong, easy to install and looks incredible. There is no better way to upgrade your equine fencing and save money in the process than with Flex Rail Electric.
Safety was of paramount concern when designing Flex Rail Electric. It doesn’t splinter and was even designed to be able to absorb impact, reducing the risk of serious injury to your horses.
“They can’t scratch or cut themselves on it, it is very safe for our horses compared to our old timber system”, said Chloe from NSW. If your horse does decide to test the fence, the small electric shock will be enough to ensure it is less likely to happen again.
Whilst safety is always a big concern, another benefit of Flex Rail is the reduction in maintenance costs. Gone are the days where long spells of wet weather will cause rot and weaken your fence. Flex Rail Electric only requires minimal upkeep and will not need repainting from sun damage and rain over time. This means that you don’t have to worry about weak spots in your fence building up over time, giving you peace of mind.
When it comes to installation, you will get a lot of your day back with Flex Rail Electric. No heavy machinery is required, and Waratah provides the whole system of accessories needed to attach, join, and tension your rail quickly and easily to
your intermediate and strainer posts. This makes your installation not only much faster, but much safer for everyone involved.
