Domestic Post and Rail
Two and three-rail post and rail for paddocks, gardens and open rural boundaries.
Classic post and rail for a clean, open boundary that holds stock and looks right in the countryside. Two, three or four rails in treated softwood or sawn oak, set to a depth that outlives the rail above. Often paired with stock wire where small animals need keeping in or out. A simple, honest fence that suits paddocks, large gardens and rural frontages.
How many rails do I need?
Two rails suit a decorative or garden boundary, three rails is the usual choice for horses and cattle, and four rails gives extra security for foals or smaller stock.

Can post and rail keep small animals in?
On its own it holds larger stock. Adding stock wire behind the rails keeps in dogs, sheep and lambs and keeps out foxes and rabbits.
How deep are the posts set?
Posts are set to a depth that outlasts the rails and holds firm in the ground, with the exact depth chosen for the soil and what the fence has to contain.
How long does post and rail last?
Treated softwood typically lasts 15 to 20 years, and sawn oak longer again, especially where the timber is capped or kept clear of standing water.
