Post & Rail Fence
Define a rural or lifestyle property with open timber post-and-rail fencing. Real Fencing plans rail count, corners and gates around the land, access and animals involved.
Post-and-rail fencing marks a broad boundary without blocking views across the land. Two- and three-rail layouts are practical for lifestyle blocks, driveways, orchards and selected stock areas. Post spacing, treatment and embedment can be adjusted for wet clay, free-draining soils, exposed ridges or ground that freezes in winter.
Front & Back Views
Compare the finished appearance from each side of the boundary.
Front View
From the road or paddock, long horizontal rails create a simple boundary that preserves the wider landscape.
Back View
The reverse view is similarly clean because posts and rails form the complete structure without a separate facing side.
Customisation Options
Plan the rail count, line through rolling ground, corner bracing and pedestrian or vehicle gates around how the land operates.
Slope Options
Choose how the fence follows changes in ground level.
Sloped (Racked)
Rails follow rolling land to maintain a continuous rural line.
Stepped
Stepped runs suit distinct terraces or abrupt changes in level.
Gate Options
Add matching gates for easy property access.
Driveway Gates
Vehicle openings of 3m, 4m or 5m are planned with braced gate posts.
Pedestrian Gates
A 900mm or 1200mm gate creates convenient access on foot.
