Post & Rail Fencing
Post & Rail Fencing is the most commonly used throughout the UK. It is a simple fence that’s incredibly simple to install and can even be installed easily over hilly ground where the fence line might dip.
Knee rail fencing is a general boundary – it’s good for use around car parks and just to mark where one area starts and another ends.
Post and Rail Fencing covers cover the following:
Rustic ranch or livestock fencing is recommended for use around animals such as ponies and horses, to create a secure enclosure for them.
Your fencing size will also depend on the animals that you’re trying to enclose – large horses will need a higher boundary since they are more likely to jump over a fence.
Sheep typically accept their fencing and do not try to jump over it or dig under, but you will need to ensure that they cannot squeeze out between the rails – smaller breeds such as Shetland sheep do this a lot.
Goats, however, will climb, jump, and crawl under fencing so you will need to add some stock fencing and perhaps even barbed wire or electric fencing to your post and rail to prevent them from doing this.
