Post and Rail Fencing

General Post and Rail Information - Posts are fitted at nominal 1.8m centres when using 3.6m (12') rails or 9' (2.7m) for cleft rail.
Half-round or sawn rails can be substituted or mixed with each other if desired.
Pointed half-round posts can be driven in with a post rammer. Sawn posts are square-ended and dug in, then backfilled before being rammed up. Post and Rail posts are not usually concreted in.
Rails are attached to the face of the posts using nails or exterior wood screws.  Cleft Chestnut and some square sawn rail options have mortises cut into the posts for the rails.
