Hi @totocol,
The pailings and bolts are fine to use, but I'd be keen to see what you're using the bolt for. Typically there are no bolts in a timber fence construction.
You've double-linked the pailing there; could you give the rails link another go? Also, what are you using for the posts?
In case you haven't seen it, here's a helpful step-by-step guide: How to build a pailing fence.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

I’m adding photos of the fence. The idea is to replace the palings and railing and the wood in planning to use for the railing. The bolts are to at each the railing to the concrete posts
Hello @totocol
Thanks for that extra information about the concrete posts. I was also wondering what the nut and bolt were for. My only suggestion to your new fence upgrade is to add a timber capping over your fence. The capping will serve as a defence for the top of the paling and prevent water from sitting on its cut end.
It looks like you've got all the parts you need. I only suggest double checking the size of the current raling. It's best to use the same size so that you won't get any bowing in the fence. Please don't forget to post photos while you are dis-assembling and re-assembling the fence. I'm sure our members would be keen to see the process.
Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves, and goggles while working on your fence.

Hi @totocol
The caping is actually paling cut in half right down the middle. To protect any cut portion, I suggest using TWA Woodcare 300g Ecoseal Tanalised Timber Treatment.
Please make sure to wear personal protection such as gloves goggles and an appropriate mask or face shield. Please make sure to follow the safety recommendations at the back of the can before using the product.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
