Method of constructing pailing fence.
My neighbour and I want to build a boundry fence about 6' high and I'm interested in the type of construction which has a capping rail along the top of the pailings, support at the bottom and no rails in middle. The question is what is the method of construction? What sort of brackets hold everything together and do the pailings get any fasterners at the top & bottom?

I'm no expert, but I'd reckon that timber paling or steel - you'll still need a supporting rail across the centre for a fence that high. They'll be a lot of flexion in the panel material otherwise.
Maybe someone else can be of more help.
Cheers

A 6' fence with a rail only top and bottom will end up looking like Chad morgan's teeth in no time. You have to have 3 rails for a timber paling fence. To answer the questino about method of construction, it's named 'bodgy'

Your palings will wander and twist without a midrail.
