Post and Rail fencing is a traditional timber style designed for clear, practical boundary definition. While widely used in rural areas, it also serves as the standard choice for marking the edges of motorways and highways. Strong vertical posts hold horizontal rails in place, creating a straightforward and reliable barrier that distinguishes public roadways from private property.
The simple structure of Post and Rail fencing makes it extremely effective for marking boundaries. Although it appears in agricultural environments, its main use in this setting is along motorways, A-roads, and dual carriageways. It provides a vital function by creating a clear, robust border that is easy to maintain and offers excellent value for large-scale infrastructure works.
Timber post and rail fencing is also more economical than steel or concrete alternatives, making it a preferred choice for authorities and developers seeking a compliant, long-lasting, and visually appealing solution that meets public infrastructure requirements.
For highways-compliant boundary installations, First Fence supplies a complete selection of materials, including this 1.8m x 150mm x 75mm Pointed HCD Incised Timber Post. Manufactured to Highways Specification, it offers the strength and resilience needed for roadside conditions. The 150mm x 75mm profile ensures solid structural performance, and the incised treatment enables deeper preservative absorption to shield the timber from moisture, salt, and pollutants. It is designed to achieve a desired 30-year service life in accordance with BS 8417 – Incised for Ground Contact.
This type of post can be set in ST2 concrete or rammed backfill.
This 1.8m post is designed for a 1.2m high post and rail fencing run with three horizontal rails. Each of these products is available to purchase, or why not take a look at our handy calculator to work out exactly what you need for your project?
First Fence also offers a 2.1m incised post, with the choice of a standard or pointed end. The 2.1m post is designed for a four-rail, 1.5m high system.
