3-1/2″ x 2″ White Vinyl Fence Ribbed Rails

The 3-1/2″ x 2″ Rails are Vinyl Fence Ribbed Rail. They play vital connecting and supporting roles in fences like the 4ft White Flat Top Semi Privacy Vinyl Fence, and the 4ft White Semi Privacy Vinyl Fence PVC Panels with Straight Picket Top. They are a durable, low-maintenance, and aesthetically pleasing fence component suitable for various applications.

Crafted from vinyl (PVC), a synthetic plastic material, our fence rails come with numerous advantages. Vinyl is corrosion-resistant, capable of withstanding harsh weather and chemical attacks. Even after long-term outdoor exposure, it won’t rust, rot, or be infested by insects, ensuring a long service life.

The rails have a cross-section measuring 3 – 1/2″ in vertical height and 2″ in width. The wider design provides more stable support within the fence structure, strengthening the overall sturdiness of the fence. Featuring a ribbed design, the hollow spaces in the rails can accommodate steel or Aluminum C Inserts, which significantly improve the rails’ resistance to bending and deformation.

Thanks to their lightweight material and standardized dimensions, the installation process is straightforward. Generally, users can quickly assemble the rails using dedicated connectors and tools, even without professional installation experience.

Vinyl Fence Ribbed Rail Production Process

Raw Material Mixing

PVC resin and various additives are uniformly mixed in a high-efficiency mixer according to precise formula ratios. This process is crucial and directly affects the quality of the final product.

Extrusion

The mixed PVC granules or powder are fed into an extruder. Under heating and rotation, the molten PVC material is extruded through a die and immediately cooled. The cooled PVC profile is then pulled out at a constant speed by a traction machine, thus controlling the size and thickness of the profile.

Cutting

Once the continuously extruded PVC profile reaches the set length, an automatic cutting machine automatically cuts the profile into the required fence components, such as posts, crossbars, and slats. The cut components undergo quality inspection to check for smooth cut surfaces, burrs, cracks, and other defects.

Surface Treatment

Clean all parts of the cut and milled PVC fence to remove dust, oil, debris, and other impurities. Cleaning can be done by water washing, solvent cleaning, or ultrasonic cleaning to ensure a clean surface.

Quality Control

Conduct a thorough quality inspection on each product to ensure customers receive only the highest quality products. This step includes checking each assembled fence for defects and ensuring all components are securely connected and meet established standards.

Packaging

Pack the qualified PVC post components according to customer requirements, typically using packing straps, plastic film, or wooden pallets for securing and protection to prevent damage during transportation.

PVC Fence Ribbed Rail Advantages

• Maintenance-free: Compared to wood, vinyl does not require painting, waxing, or preservative treatment, and it essentially retains its original color, making cleaning relatively simple.
• Weather-resistant: It has good resistance to UV rays, humidity, and temperature changes, and is less likely to fade or become brittle when exposed to the outdoors for extended periods.
• Deformation-resistant: The ribbed design improves load-bearing and bending resistance, providing greater stability within the normal load capacity of the fence.
• Easy installation: It is compatible with our posts, panels, and other components, with matching holes and accessories designed to simplify the installation process.

Vinyl Fence Ribbed Rail Application

• Privacy Fences: Provide excellent privacy, preventing outside intrusion.
• Decorative Fences: In non-private areas, their unique designs add visual appeal to the fence and enhance the beauty of the yard.
• Pet Enclosures: Their sturdy and durable characteristics make them an ideal choice for restricting pet activity areas, preventing pets from escaping, and protecting garden plants.
• Children’s Play Area Fences: Provide a safe defined area, preventing children from wandering too far while playing outdoors, and are safer than wooden fences due to the lack of sharp edges.
