HBD 7/8"x6" picket rail fence

As an HBD 7/8"x6" picket rail fence manufacturer, Deqing Huazhijie Railing & Fencing Co., Ltd. supplies the section as a complete, site-ready PVC system: profiled pickets, pre-notched top and bottom rails, pre-routed posts, post caps and matching gates. Established in 2003 and operating from our factory in Huzhou, China, near Shanghai, we extrude, cut, drill and notch every component in-house, so a project receives one coordinated package instead of a mixed bill of profiles.

A Complete Section, Not a Parts List

Every HBD run is quoted as a system. A standard section is built from seven 7/8" x 6" pickets and eight 7/8" x 1-1/2" spacers, held between a pre-notched top rail and a pre-notched bottom rail, with the bottom rail carrying an aluminum insert for commercial-grade rigidity. Posts arrive pre-routed, so rail ends seat into the post without field drilling.

Reading the Specification: 7/8"x6" Picket, 2"x3-1/2" Rail

The 7/8" x 6" figure describes the wide picket face that gives the section its visual mass, while the narrower 7/8" x 1-1/2" spacers set the gap rhythm between pickets. Changing that rhythm changes both privacy and wind load, so spacing is confirmed against the site before profiles are released to extrusion.

• 48" standard height with a 40" picket field; taller or shorter sections use the same rail and post family.
• 96" standard width; widths are cut to suit post spacing and gate openings.
• 2" x 3-1/2" rails at 94" keep the rail end inside the post face on a 96" section.
• 0.08 CBM per section is the packing volume we use when planning container loads.

Where the HBD Picket Rail Fence Performs

The open picket pattern suits boundaries that need definition and containment without blocking sightlines. Where a project calls for a closed vertical-bar look instead, the HBA pvc vertical railing fence is built on the same post and rail family.

• Pool and spa surrounds where visibility into the water area matters.
• Front yard and garden boundaries on residential lots.
• Balcony and railing infill where a lighter visual profile is preferred.
• Multi-unit and commercial perimeter runs where the aluminum-reinforced bottom rail is specified.

Configuration Options and the Section + Post + Gate Logic

We build the order as Section + Post + Gate = Complete Fence. That keeps quantities aligned: sections set the run length, posts set the count of line, end, corner and 3-way positions, and gates close the openings.

• Post routing: line, end, corner, 3-way or blank, in 4" x 4" or 5" x 5".
• Post caps in New England, flat or Gothic styles.
• Rail variants including handrail profiles for railing applications.
• Narrower picket patterns such as the HBF 7/8"x3" small picket fence where a lighter rhythm is wanted.
• Dog-ear picket profiles such as the HAE1 traditional dog ear picket for streetscapes that specify that top detail.
• Matching gates fabricated to the same colour and profile.

Material Formulation and Environmental Boundaries

HBD profiles are extruded from 100% virgin PVC with no recycled content and no lead. The formulation carries UV inhibitors, impact modifiers and stabilisers, with titanium dioxide at 10 parts per 100 for chalking resistance, and the colour runs through the profile rather than sitting on a coating.

• Service temperature range stated for our vinyl fence systems: -40 °C to 70 °C.
• Lead-free, non-toxic formulation suited to family, pet and garden contact.
• No coating to chip, peel or rot; low-maintenance surface.
• Wind performance depends on section style, post installation and rail configuration, so the section is matched to the exposure.

Manufacturing Control and Compliance Evidence

Extrusion, cutting, hole drilling, notching, packing and storage all run in-house on our extrusion lines, which keeps profile dimensions and hole positions consistent between production batches. Raw materials are traceable: DuPont TiO2, US or German pigments and PVC resin.

• Independent quality-control group inspecting each extruder's output every hour, plus random checks.
• Certificates held: CE, RoHS and UL94.
• Quality system evidence includes SGS, ASTM, ISO 9001 and TUV global manufacturer certification.
• 30-year limited warranty on our vinyl fence systems.

Installation Interfaces and Site Coordination

Because posts are pre-routed and rails pre-notched, installation follows the same sequence as a wood fence: set the posts, insert the rails, insert the pickets, then fit the caps. We recommend treating vinyl posts as wood posts for footing practice — where local practice cements wood posts, cement vinyl posts the same way.

• Rails seat into routed post holes; notched rails resist pull-out and give stronger fastening.
• Post caps are attached after the fence is assembled.
• Installation video guidance and technical support accompany orders.
• Gate hardware and hinge positions are confirmed against the post layout before fabrication.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution

A quotation is prepared from the working point of the project rather than a catalogue default. The following inputs let us return a configuration, a component schedule and a price without a second round of clarification.

• Run length, number of corners and gate opening widths.
• Required height and width, if different from 48" x 96".
• Colour and post cap style.
• Post size preference and whether the bottom rail needs the aluminum insert.
• Site conditions: wind exposure, soil or footing type, and whether posts will be cemented.
• Destination port and required packing format for container planning.
• Any OEM or ODM requirement, including new profiles, colours or styles.

Maintenance, Spare Parts and Serviceability

A garden hose rinse handles normal soiling. Mild abrasive cleaners suitable for fibreglass tubs remove stubborn marks, and graffiti usually lifts with detergent and water. Pickets, rails, posts and caps are supplied as separate components, so a damaged part can be replaced without rebuilding the run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in one HBD 7/8"x6" picket rail fence section?

One standard section contains seven 7/8" x 6" x 40" pickets, eight 7/8" x 1-1/2" x 40" spacers, one pre-notched top rail and one pre-notched bottom rail with an aluminum insert, at 48" height and 96" width. Posts, post caps and gates are quoted separately so quantities match the actual run.

Can heights and widths be customised?

Yes. 48" x 96" is the standard envelope, and other heights and widths are produced on the same rail and post family. We confirm picket count and spacing for each custom size so the pattern stays consistent across the whole run.

Is the HBD section suitable for pool enclosures?

It is used for pool fencing, front yard and garden fencing, and balcony or railing infill. The open picket pattern keeps the pool area visible, and the aluminum insert in the bottom rail is specified where commercial-grade strength is required.

Which post configurations are available?

4" x 4" and 5" x 5" posts, pre-routed as line, end, corner, 3-way or blank, with a 72" length option. Post caps are available in New England, flat and Gothic styles.

How is the fence packed for export?

Each section occupies 0.08 CBM. Sections, posts, caps and gates are packed as a matched set, and loading quantity is confirmed against the actual component mix for the destination.

Do you supply matching gates and custom profiles?

Yes. Gates are fabricated to match the fence colour and profile, and we accept OEM and ODM orders, including new fence profiles and styles developed to a customer's requirement.
