Post and rail fencing is a traditional style of boundary fencing commonly used in rural and agricultural settings. It typically consists of sturdy vertical posts, spaced evenly apart, with horizontal rails fitted between them to form a durable and visually appealing barrier.
This type of fencing is especially popular for creating paddocks—enclosed areas within farms or equestrian properties where animals such as horses or livestock can graze or exercise. Post and rail paddocks offer an open aspect, allowing clear views while still providing a defined perimeter, and can be constructed from timber or other materials depending on the desired aesthetic and durability.
There are many varieties and configurations available for post and rail fencing, from hardwood to softwood through to pressure treated / creosote but always top quality comes as standard. Contact us and we can help you decide what options are best for you.
Post and wire fencing is a practical and versatile solution commonly used for delineating boundaries, securing properties, or containing livestock. This type of fencing consists of sturdy posts—usually made from timber, metal, or concrete—installed at regular intervals along a perimeter. Between these posts, wires are stretched tightly, forming a continuous barrier. The wires may be plain, barbed, or mesh, depending on the intended use and level of security required.
One of the key advantages of post and wire fencing is its adaptability; it can be customised to suit a variety of landscapes and purposes. It’s relatively easy to install and maintain, making it ideal for agricultural fields, gardens, or rural properties. The open design allows for visibility, airflow, and minimal obstruction to natural light, while still providing a robust boundary. Overall, post and wire fencing offers a cost-effective and reliable option for anyone seeking a straightforward solution for protecting and organising outdoor spaces.
