This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The border-block-end-width CSS property defines the width of the logical block end border of an element, which maps to a physical border width depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. It corresponds to the border-top-widthborder-right-widthborder-bottom-width, or border-left-width property depending on the values defined for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation.

/* border-block-end-width: width */
border-block-end-width: 5px;
border-block-end-width: inherit;

It relates to border-block-start-width, border-inline-start-width, and border-inline-end-width, which define the other border widths of the element.
