3.6m x 87mm x 38mm Timber Rail

Post and Rail fencing, crafted from timber, is a timeless and versatile fencing design with a rich history of practical use. This classic structure features upright posts providing support for horizontal rails, creating a straightforward yet highly effective barrier.

In the installation process, sturdy posts are firmly set into the ground to ensure stability for the entire fence. Horizontal rails then connect the posts, forming the fundamental framework of the fence. The number of rails can vary, commonly ranging from two to three, resulting in a visually appealing pattern.

An array of wood types, such as cedar, pine, spruce, and redwood, can be used in crafting Post and Rail fencing.

The straightforward design of Post and Rail fencing proves highly effective for boundary demarcation. Frequently utilised in rural or agricultural settings to contain livestock or delineate property boundaries, this fencing style also finds application in residential areas.

One of the notable benefits of timber post and rail fencing is its cost-effectiveness compared to alternative fencing materials. This makes it an appealing choice for those seeking a traditional and enduring aesthetic without compromising on quality.
