How a fence is formed around a curve or raked to a slope, the stocked radii, and how sections join.
A curved fence follows a true arc, not a series of short straight chords. The rails are formed to the radius so the line flows around a pool edge, a garden bed or a driveway. Curving is available on the styles that support it, and the style page says which.
On our Batten style we stock three radii: 0.9 m, 1.2 m and 1.5 m, with custom radii available on request, and the tightest stocked radius is 0.9 m. Other styles have their own limits.
We CNC cut templates to your exact radius, then form the rails around them. That is what keeps a curve consistent along its length, rather than drifting off the line.
Where a style curves, every profile in it curves, so a curved section carries the same profile as the straight runs it joins.
Most projects combine both. Curved sections connect to straight ones with matching rail heights, spacing and colour, so the transition does not read as a join.
On a slope the fence can be raked, so the top follows the ground rather than stepping down. The verticals stay vertical while the rails follow the grade.
A curved pool section holds the same spacing and height as a straight panel, so it meets AS 1926.1 like the rest of the barrier.
Send the radius, or the pool and garden edges you want to follow, and we will template it.
