Got questions? We’ve got answers! Check out these FAQs to learn more about Horserail® fencing.
Can I build this myself?
Yes, if you follow the directions we provide and have some practical experience, you can successfully build this fence. It may take you a little while to complete, but like anything else, with more experience you become more proficient and faster. Try to learn as much as you can before starting the project. Also, you might consider using the services of a professional installer to drive or set the posts, leaving you to finish the rail.
How long will it last?
Horserail® rail and coated wire products are made from high-quality, medium-density virgin-grade polyethylene with a proprietary UV stabilization blend that protects it from sun damage, fading, and brittleness over time to keep your property’s fence looking as pristine as possible.
Horserail® stands behind its quality by offering up to a 30-year limited manufacturer’s warranty on its products. A promise backed by more than 30 years of proven performance in the field.
What post spacing can I use?
This is a personal choice, but the more pressure there will be, the closer you want the posts. See the chart for recommendations.
Should I consider a professional installer?
Qualified installers have the equipment, tools and experience to give you a permanent, professional looking structure. For every dollar you spend, it will be returned in increased equity by adding value to your property. If you have never built a fence like this, consider having an experienced fencing contractor quote and install the first section of fence, so that you might be able to watch him. Then you can make an evaluation as to whether you finish the installation or have him do it.

Will my horses crib on the rail?
Horses have been known to bite or crib, but not excessively. They may bite on it, but only to the wire then they will stop. If it is a continuing occurrence – try adding electrifiable Hottop®, Hottop Plus® or Hotcote® to train your horses away from the fence.
Should I loosen the fence for the winter?
In most situations no, but areas where you have extreme temperatures, it will allow the fence to last longer.
Can I use steel tee posts?
It is not recommended, because there is no satisfactory method of attaching the rail to the post.
Should I use electric with the fence?
How long can I make the fence?
