Fence rails are attached to fence posts with brackets or nails. Top and bottom fence rails are used when a fence is installed on a sloped surface, as they help each section of fence act as a “step” down to the next level.
Cost Considerations
Top and bottom rails increase the cost of a fence by about 15%.
Costs vary greatly by region (and even by zip code). To get free estimates from local contractors, please indicate yours.
