Aluminium Flat Bar, 25.4mm x 4.76mm (1" x 3/16"), also known as Fence Fixing Bar or Fence Fixing Plate. It's the simplest way to mount railed signs securely onto mesh fencing, palisade railings and uneven surfaces.
Buy it as solid bar to drill on site, or save installation time with our pre-drilled option: 10mm holes, ready to bolt straight through.
Why sign makers use it
- Heavy duty 4.76mm thickness stays rigid under wind load and won't twist when bolted tight.
- 6082-T6 structural aluminium alloy is strong, lightweight and won't rust outdoors.
- Lengths from 200mm to 5000mm, plus 10 packs at 2500mm and 5000mm for bigger jobs.
Pre-drilled option
Drilled bars have 10mm diameter holes (clearance for M8 bolts), with the first hole 25mm from the end of the bar to the hole centre.
