Fence rakes

Fence rakes are not rakes left leaning against a fence. They are the intermediate panel dividing high parts of the fence from the low part. Low parts of the fence are very important to car and pedestrian safety on our roads and footpaths. Too often I see fences at full height going all the way to the front of a property. This creates problems. Picture a child too young to use the road riding along a footpath. You decide to pop out to the shop and you reverse out your drive way cant see anything coming up the path of course...the inevitable happens. However a fence that is only 900mm high you can view all the way up the footpath and the road.
They are not only for safety but in a community where neighbors like to talk to each other, a low fence keeps the street nice and open and less like a prison community.
