Fencing Info
We stock a broad range of different sized fencing timber so that our products can be used for garden, agricultural, or equestrian fencing.
We can also cut timber to your specific measurements; please contact us for a free quotation.
For your traditional post and rail fencing (ideal for rural garden perimeters, farmland, paddocks and menages), we recommend using 3 horizontal rails, nailed to vertical pointed stakes. Allow one stake to every 6ft of fencing, plus one for the end of the run; and 3 rails for every 12ft of fencing. The standard size is a 12’ x 3.5” x 1.5” rail and a 6’ x 5” x 3” pointed stake.
For Yorkshire board fencing, we recommend using 6’ x 6” x 0.75” boards placed vertically along the length of the area to be fenced, and attached to 4” x 4” posts that are 2 – 3ft longer than the finished height of the fence and placed at 6ft intervals; along with 2 or 3 12’ x 3.5” x 1.5” rails placed horizontally (depending on the height of the fence) along the length of the fence. If desired, finish off with 12ft length of capping and gravel boards.
For feather edge fencing, place a 4” x 4” post that is 2 – 3ft longer than the finished height of the fence at 6ft intervals and attach 2 or 3 12’ x 3.5” x 1.5” rails to the posts to create a framework. Nail either 5ft or 6ft long feather edge boards depending on the height of your fence, to the rails. Our feather edge boards are 5” wide, so 3 boards will cover 1ft. Finish off with 12ft length of capping and gravel boards or perhaps a trellis top.
For stake and wire fencing, we suggest attaching wire pignet using 5’6” stakes that are 3” – 4” in diameter, with a 7ft strainer and 7ft strut every 50m of fencing. If the fencing changes direction, an additional strut is required.

Gravel boards are used to protect fencing from damp ground, to raise a fence by 3” – 6” or purely for decoration, we recommend using a 12’ x 6” x 7/8” board.
