Our standard post & rail horse fence uses 4" X 2" rails and 6" X 3" posts, spaced at 6ft centres and augered min 24" beneath ground with ballast rammed around the posts for stability. All rails are pre-drilled before nailing to prevent the timber splitting. In sandy soil or along a driveway, posts will often be concreted beneath ground.
Depending upon the situation, 3½" X 1½" rails and 5" X 3" posts can be used as a cheaper option if necessary.

Rails are scarfed for the post mortice
Post and Rail fencing, usually used to fence in horses & livestock is also often erected along the drive-way and for paddock & general fencing applications.
As an equestrian fence, post and rail can be installed with one, two, three or four rails, depending on the situation, with wire stock fence or horse netting placed behind or in front of the rails, especially if sheep or cattle are also in the field. One or two single strand, galvanized wires can be strained & stapled above the top rail to prevent horses biting the timber.

Our traditional morticed post and rail is a smarter version of the above and looks especially good along the driveway. We mortice the posts for the scarfed rails with posts centred every twelve feet with a 4" X 2" or 5" X 3" post (pricking post) knocked beneath ground in the centre of each bay. Posts can also be positioned at 6ft centres, an especially nice fence for the driveway.
