But you wouldn't recommentd that the uprights are 3.6m apart.arris rails normally run at 2.4m 3.0m and 3.6m from a decent fencing supplier
Sorry Infidel, I didn't explain my meaning properly. What I meant was that since off-the-shelf panels are 6' wide, it follows that fence posts are set 6' apart. I was wondering whether this was perceived to be the maximum recommended space for fencing, which would have a bearing on the length of arris rails ad in particular why they are sold at longer than 6' lengths.Ah you don't tend to use it with panels but vertical feather edge boards,old fashioned proper fencing.
Thanks Thermo. So you reckon that with, say 4" posts set solid enough, wider spans of say 8' aren't anything to worry about (in a sheltered spot)?fence panels are a standard 6' wide and so the posts are set at that. ARris rails are used for closeboard fencing and come in those lengths. It is a much stronger system, with larger posts, and the whole thing as a composite is very strong, so 3.6m bays are no problem.
