Metal Picket Fence Roll Forming Line

1. Definition

A metal picket fence roll forming line cold-forms vertical picket / paling strips (often called Euro picket or Russian shtaketnik style) from galvanized or color-coated coil. Finished pickets are later assembled with posts and rails into decorative or security fence panels.

It is a profile-forming line for fence pickets — not a highway W-beam guardrail mill, not a peach-profile mesh fence post line, and not a dust-suppression / windbreak panel line.

2. Typical process

Industry picket lines commonly follow this logical flow (station order still follows the named proposal):

1. Decoil — PPGI / GI coil
2. Feed / guide — strip alignment
3. Roll form — progressive stands create the picket cross-section (single- or double-face designs exist in the market)
4. Cut-to-length — stop-to-cut hydraulic shear or flying / servo cut
5. Exit / stack — run-out tables or light packing

Optional in-line punching for mounting holes appears on some commercial packages. Treat punching as a contract option, not a locked baseline.

3. Applications

• Residential and commercial picket / paling fences
• Decorative metal fence strips for landscape and perimeter projects
• OEM fence-panel plants that buy formed pickets and assemble offline

4. Parameter status

Conflict call-out: Neighbor peach-post documentation publishes stand / kW figures for a different product. Do not copy those numbers into this picket page.

5. Boundaries

• Not highway two- / three-wave guardrail
• Not peach-profile mesh fence post (different tooling and usually flying-saw cut)
• Not wind / dust perforated panel lines
• Do not invent a public speed–power–thickness table from market averages

6. Inquiry checklist

• Finished picket cross-section drawing (single- vs double-face)
• Material grade, coating, thickness and strip width
• Cut length range and tolerance target
• Punching map if required
• Expected output class and preferred cut type (stop / flying)

7. Buyer FAQ

Why are speed and kW blank?

Source evidence marks speed, power, and thickness blocked because the primary quotation is a scanned PDF that cannot be extracted reliably. Publishing invented bands would mislead buyers.

Same machine as peach fence post?

No. Peach posts are ovate columns with mesh insert slots. Pickets are vertical paling strips for panel fences.

Can I use a competitor’s 15–25 m/min ad as my contract rating?

Only as market context. Locked ratings belong on the named technical proposal for your profile.

Is punching included?

Some market lines add in-line punching; confirm whether your proposal includes it.
