Racecourse Fencing Overview
AUSTRALIAN MADE
ECO FRIENDLY
We know how tough race day is.
Our fencing systems are designed to be resilient and safe in the most demanding of conditions. That’s always been our goal.
Think Fencing has designed a range of fencing systems specific to Thoroughbred racing clubs. With safety and durability as a top priority, Think Fencing has supplied clubs in Hong Kong, Israel, New Zealand and Australia.
Horse Racing Fence Styles
Fence Optional Extras
Beer Rail
The beer rail is as the name suggests, a rail along one side of the fence to allow racegoers to rest their beer or race book whilst watching the race. This rail is usually made out of our woodgrain textured rail.
Running Rail on Top
The fence can be made with a Simtrack Running rail integrated into the top of the fence providing a seamless liniar look across the top of the fence.
Running Rail on Side
For parade rings and mounting yard applications an offset Simtrack running rail is often required to provide a safe distance from the general public to the horse. This can be customised to your specifications.
Gates
Think Fencing can provide custom gates to suit your fence design from an 8m wide sliding gate down to a 0.9m pedestrian gate.
Capture Pens
Using electronics and hardware mounted to our fencing system we can custom design capture pens for runaway horses.
Jump Wings
Think Fencing has worked closely with Racing Victoria to develop a custom solution that sets the standard in Jump Wings.
Think Fencing PVC Fencing Benefits
We’ve heard all the concerns, perhaps the most popular is; plastic is cheap and won’t last outside in the Australia conditions. If this was true do you think we would offer a 30 year warranty on all our plastic (PVC) fencing.
