Summary:The fence pale 40 for fastening to a rail 20 between fence posts is formed from a sheet steel. The pale has a cross section with outer wings 44, 44' which abut the rail and a centre portion 42 with apertures for receiving a fastener such a s bolt. The central portion, in an undeformed state, is spaced from the rail when the wings contact the rail. Upon fastening the pale to the rail the pale can be resiliently deformed such that the centre portion contacts the rail, with the wings under compression and the centre portion under tension. The pale may be part of a fence section with bolts on which the thread is worn away under tension to prevent the bolts re-engaging the pale or rail. The bolt may have a frustroconical head 82. Also claimed is a method, kit and use of the pale.
