What Is Post and Rail Fencing?
Post and rail fencing for fields, paddocks and rural boundaries around Mansfield's fringe villages. Tanalised timber posts and rails, set in concrete at corners and gateways.
In Mansfield, post and rail fencing is one of our most requested jobs — from terraces near Titchfield Park to newer estates at Pleasley. We survey on site, set posts in concrete at 1.8m centres where the spec calls for it, and use gravel boards so timber isn't sitting in wet clay.
Need advice on materials or height? We'll tell you straight — no upselling work you don't need.
Why Choose Post and Rail Fencing?
Equestrian use
Two or three rail systems for horses — smooth rails without sharp edges where possible.
Field boundaries
Marks land without blocking views — popular around Blidworth and Clipstone countryside.
Corner bracing
Proper straining posts at corners and gates so the run stays tight.
Gateways included
Field gates hung to match the rail system.

Common Questions
What's the standard height for post and rail?
1.2m for two-rail field fencing, 1.5m for three-rail equestrian. We match what's common locally and what your use needs.
How far apart are the posts?
Typically 2.4m to 3m depending on rail size and ground. Corners and gateways get extra bracing.
Is post and rail cheaper than close board?
Per metre, yes — less timber and faster to install. It's not a privacy fence though.
Can you repair broken rails?
Yes. Individual rails and posts without replacing the whole field boundary.
