The CenFlex Flexible 5" Rails, manufactured in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, are a horse and live stock friendly fencing solution for pastures and arenas. Each 5" rail is crafted with a specialized blend of High Tensile Polymers (HTP) with Impact modifiers, UV stabilizers, and anti-fungicides for a durable stain and mildew resistant rail. All of the CenFlex rails are embedded with three strands of 12.5 gauge high tensile steel wire, providing superior strength and flexibility. Maintenance of this fence is easy; simply use the tensioner brackets to tighten rails over the years as needed! No more replacing boards or touching up pealing paint jobs!
The Centaur CenFlex Flexible 5" Rails combine flexibility with strength! These rails can withstand up to 4,200lbs per fence rail and have the ability to flex back into place after impact; reducing the chances of serious injury to animals and damage to the fence. Centaur brochures show exactly how tough this fence is against vehicles, tress, and even elephants! We've had customers call to inform us that a tree had come down on their fence and, when the tree was removed, the fence snapped back good as new with a quick tension!

The Centaur CenFlex Flexible 5" Rails are unique, since they are installed in a continuous loop and attached to posts with a patented "Belt Loop" line bracket system. Each line bracket is embedded with a steel bar, making it virtually indestructible! The "Belt Loop" attachment method has strong advantages over alternative methods, as the continuous loop system is more flexible than rigid individual rails, allowing the rail to slip or move freely to adsorb and dissipate any impacts down the entire length of fence.

The Centaur CenFlex Flexible 5" Rails are virtually maintenance-free. These rails will retain their beautiful appearance for many years and will not rust, warp, rot, peel, chip, stretch, fade, shatter, or splinter! The Centaur CenFlex Flexible 5" Rails are QUV tested by using an accelerated weatherometer that mimics a lifetime of wear in a short time and test results near the 20 year age show the rails in near-perfect condition! This is why Centaur is confident in offering a limited lifetime warranty of 20 years! The Centaur CenFlex Flexible 5" Rail fence is a more economical option than alternative rigid vinyl post and rail fences, are easier to maintain, and offer multiple configurations for your project.
The Centaur CenFlex Flexible 5" Rails are available in white, black, and brown with matching brackets. Rolls are available in 330' and 660' measurements. You may mix and match Centaur fencing configurations for your needs. Combine rails with PolyPlus or White Lightning wire or use Hot Rails with standard rails. Rails and wire are installed continuously around fence area and tighten using tensioners. Rails are connected to posts with "Belt Loop" brackets, allowing rails to slide and 'give' for the entire fence length. Centaur Fencing System - Configurations (PDF)
Ordering Notes:
Centaur fencing is easy for DIYers to install, but making sure that you have the correct hardware is important.

We'll make sure you have just the right amount of hardware to complete your project! Centaur Fencing System - Planning Guide(PDF)
Installation Notes:
The rails can be installed on round or square wood posts that are set 8'-12' apart. Rails span the entire fence line from end to end or end to break in the fence line. For longer stretches, two way tensioners are available. Splices and splice covers are available to connect two rail segments.
A 660LF continuous stretch of 5" HTP or CenFlex rail will use typical hardware: a termination bracket to start the stretch, line brackets for each line post, inside corner rollers for any corner posts, then terminate with a one-way barrel tensioner. This is repeated for sections divided by breaks in the fence line and for each row of railing. Alternate hardware is available depending on the complexity of the project or preference for installation.
If the continuous stretch is greater than 660LF, then a different combination of hardware will be used to install each row of rail.
