If you are looking for a fencing company in Kent to provide professional boundary marking for a car park, walkway, or commercial frontage, 100mm x 100mm Knee Rail Posts (also known as Birdsmouth posts) are the industry standard choice.
These posts are the essential foundation for "trip fencing," providing a low-level barrier that is as durable as it is aesthetically pleasing.
What are Knee Rail Posts?
Knee Rail fencing consists of sturdy vertical posts with a "V" notch cut into the top (the Birdsmouth). A horizontal square rail (typically $100\text{mm} \times 100\text{mm}$ or $75\text{mm} \times 75\text{mm}$) is then laid into these notches and secured with a galvanized steel strap.
Key Applications in Kent
Commercial Boundaries: Ideal for retail parks in Ashford or Maidstone to prevent vehicles from encroaching on pedestrian walkways or verges.
Public Spaces: Frequently used by councils and developers across Canterbury and Thanet to demarcate pathways without obscuring the view of the landscape.
Residential Driveways: A popular choice for homeowners in Sevenoaks or Tunbridge Wells who want a clear boundary marker that maintains an open, "airy" feel to the front of their property.
Why 100mm x 100mm?
The $100\text{mm} \times 100\text{mm}$ (4x4 inch) specification is the preferred heavy-duty option for Kentish fencing contractors.
Structural Integrity: The substantial width allows for a deep, secure Birdsmouth notch without compromising the strength of the post.
Visual Presence: It provides a bold, professional finish that clearly defines a perimeter from a distance.
Impact Resistance: These posts are designed to withstand accidental knocks from car doors or shopping trolleys in busy environments.
