Plan your boundary demarcation with confidence using our Highways Specification Post and Rail Calculator. While post and rail fencing is renowned for its classic, rustic aesthetic in rural settings, it is also the industry standard for robust highway boundaries. This system combines the traditional visual appeal of timber with the rigorous durability required for roadside compliance.
Designed for longevity, our Highway Fencing range uses Incised Timber Technology. The posts and rails in this system undergo a specialised incision process before treatment. This allows preservatives to penetrate deep into the wood, providing a robust defence against rot and ground-contact decay, ensuring a significantly longer service life essential for public infrastructure. This is a heavy-duty timber fencing style used along major road networks.
First Fence's Highways Specification Post and Rail system is available as a 1.2m high/3 rail or 1.5m high system/4 rail option. Each system requires the posts to be fixed 600m in the ground. The posts can be supported by rammed backfill or ST2 concrete as required.
Our handy calculator automatically configures your quote using these premium components:
1.8m 150 x 75 HCD - INCISED: Ideal for 1.2m high systems.
1.8m 150 x 75 POINTED HCD - INCISED: For rapid installation via driving.
2.1m 150 x 75 HCD - INCISED: Ideal for 1.5m high systems.
2.1m 150 x 75 POINTED HCD - INCISED: Deep-drive capability for maximum stability.
3.6m 88 x 38 HCD (RAIL): Long-length rails for clean, continuous lines and fewer joins.
Manual estimation for long stretches of Highway post and rail fencing can lead to costly over-ordering or frustrating shortages. Whether you are fencing a paddock, a long stretch of A-road, or a commercial perimeter, our tool takes the guesswork out of the equation.
Ready to start? Input your total distance to generate a complete materials list using our Highways Specification Incised timber. Secure your boundary with fencing built to last.
Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure the longevity of this type of Post and Rail fence, which may include staining or painting the timber to protect it from the elements. Inspecting and repairing any damaged or rotten components is important to keep the fence in good condition.
First Fence also has a standard Timber Post and Rail system for general use. Also, consider our Timber Knee Rail Fencing for a lower boundary demarcation.
