Product Information

Full details

The Clarity Composite Fencing Aluminium Bottom Rail is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to build a stable and long-lasting composite fencing system. It serves as the vital foundation, positioned between fence posts to provide structural support for slotted fence boards. While this component ensures a professional and robust finish, it is specifically engineered for use with the Clarity range, meaning it is not universally compatible with other fencing brands or non-standard post spacings.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this rail be used with non-Clarity composite boards?

This rail is designed specifically for the Clarity Composite Fencing system and is optimized for the dimensions and slot-in mechanism of those specific boards.

Is the charcoal finish paintable?

The aluminium is finished for longevity and aesthetic appeal; we do not recommend painting it, as it is designed to be maintenance-free.

How do I cut the aluminium rail?

You can cut the rail using a hacksaw or a power saw fitted with a metal-cutting blade. Always use proper eye protection when cutting.

Does the rail come with fixings?

The rail is designed to slide into the pre-existing channels of the Clarity fence posts. Please refer to your specific fence post instructions for any required fastening hardware.

Will this rail rust?

No, the rail is constructed from high-quality aluminium, which is inherently resistant to rust and corrosion, making it perfect for outdoor environments.

What is the thickness of the rail?

The rail measures 45mm in thickness, providing a substantial base for the weight of the stacked fence panels.

Troubleshooting

The rail does not fit between existing posts.

Verify that your post spacing matches the 1830mm width. If the posts are too close, you will need to trim the aluminium rail using a metal-cutting saw.

The rail appears to sag in the middle.

Ensure that the rail is properly seated in the post channels and that your posts are spaced correctly according to the installation manual to prevent overloading.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong, level foundation for composite boards
  • Durable aluminium material resists rot and moisture damage
  • Sleek charcoal finish offers a modern visual appeal
  • Precise dimensions ensure compatibility with the Clarity fencing system

Cons

  • Requires specific post spacing for proper fit
  • Not compatible with timber or other non-Clarity fencing systems
  • Cutting to custom lengths requires metal-working tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your fence posts are positioned correctly to accommodate the 1830mm length of the rail. The rail should be slotted securely into the post channels. If your post spacing is narrower than 1830mm, you will need a hacksaw or electric metal-cutting saw to trim the rail to size. For ongoing care, the aluminium finish is largely maintenance-free. If it becomes dusty or dirty over time, simply wipe the rail down with a mild detergent and water using a soft cloth to maintain the charcoal appearance.
