Post and rail fencing

Post & rail fencing is a cost effective, sturdy and is ideal for large boundaries. Standard post & rail is commonly used for fencing paddocks, fields and other equestrian and livestock areas.  It can easily be used in conjunction with stock fence (wire) for additional security.  Post & rail is becoming increasingly popular in rural properties with aesthetics which fit nicely with the rural surroundings.


Rails come in standard (square), half-rounded (machined - see image) or rustic (uneven along length).


A post and rail fence normally has 3 x rails set betwen posts 1.5 m or 1.8 m apart, and a height of 1.2 m.
