Continuous Fencing- 6 Rail

Continuous fencing in a 6 rail pattern gives a boundary or a lane a run of horizontal rails without a post between each one. The rails are joined end to end, which makes for a strong, straight fence that holds cattle and looks clean from the road.

Six rails puts more horizontal barrier on the line than a lighter fence, which helps with cattle that lean and push. It is a common choice for lanes, pens and property lines where animals are worked close to the fence.

Continuous fencing is usually installed with posts at intervals and tensioned at the ends and corners, so the bracing does the work and the rail run stays tight. For a lane that sees cattle every day, the extra rails are worth the investment over the life of the fence.
