Derby Horse Fence Overview

Overview

Derby Horse Fence is engineered as a premium HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) rail fence system designed for horse safety, ranch durability, and low-maintenance performance. Built from thick-walled HDPE with internal ribs for strength, Derby fencing absorbs impact better than wood or traditional white vinyl ranch rail fencing, reducing injury risk while maintaining the integrity of the fence structure.

Unlike vinyl, the 100% HDPE material is both durable and flexible so it won’t chip, crack or splinter. Fading is minimal because color runs throughout the product, making this an attractive and long-lasting option for farm and ranch owners.

Rails

Derby Fence rails are manufactured from thick-walled HDPE with internal ribs, giving them high strength and flexibility. This unique construction allows the fence to flex on impact — helping protect animals from injury — while still keeping its shape over time.

Rails secure into posts using a galvanized rail button locking system that keeps animals safely contained but allows easy removal for equipment access. HDPE rails maintain their integrity and appearance in extreme weather, resisting cracking or brittleness even in temperatures as low as -60°F.

Posts

Derby’s HDPE posts are built to match the rails with a smooth, snag-free surface and heavier wall thickness than typical PVC fencing. Hollow HDPE posts are lightweight yet strong, minimizing installation fatigue while providing stability and resistance to rust, rot, and environmental wear.

Unlike wood, HDPE has a life expectancy of decades.

Customizations

Derby Horse Fence offers versatile rail configurations to suit your property’s needs. Choose from top-rail, 2-rail, 3-rail, 4-rail, or 5-rail systems depending on the level of containment, visibility, and aesthetic you want.

It’s available in multiple colors — including white, black, brown, cedar, weathered wood, grey, hunter green, and redwood — so you can match your landscape and design preferences. Add arena footing boards to the bottom of your arena fencing and order matching gates to complete your project.
