Traditional Birdsmouth Fencing (Knee Rail)
Birdsmouth fencing, often referred to as Knee Rail fencing, is the perfect solution for defining boundaries without obstructing views. Its low-profile design is a popular choice for commercial car parks, retail parks, and public walkways.
The name comes from the distinct “V” shape cut into the top of the post—the birdsmouth joint—which allows a square timber rail to sit securely at a 45-degree angle, creating a robust and aesthetically pleasing continuous rail.
