A beginner’s Guide to Install Post and Rail Fencing

Post and rail fence is one of the most famous and effective type of fencing. It is easy to design, durable, and attractive to look. This article will help you in great detail about what basic things are required to install post and rail fence and how it can be long lasting for your land.

The Building Blocks of Post and Rail Fence:

There are only four basic components that are used mainly for designing this type of fence. These components are straining posts, rails, galvanized nails, and stakes.

Steps Required:

Now we take a look at what are the basic steps to install an effective wood post and rail fencing.

Measurement & Dimensions

Measurement is the first basic thing. You should know that how much length each fence will require. For this, layout the boundary line across the land. While doing measurement, try to divide each fence into equal parts. Pre-cut rails will provide so much convenience in advance.

Plough the Posts

The second step in terms to install post and rail fence is to drill the holes for all of the fence posts. Though someone can perform it with hand diggers, a quality power auger would turn it much easier. Using tape measurements determine and finalise the exact length of the next consequent post.

Place the Rails

Now add your rails within the second and corner post. By doing this, ensure that they remain fixed to avoid any further adjustments. After that, come back to the corner post and use the tamper to cover the dirt around it. Remember that, try not to cover the dirt from the second post until you have made the third one.

Repeat the Step 2 & Step 3

Continue repeating the last two steps for all post and rails, when you have rails b/w the first and second post installed.

There are many stores which provide different types of fences and its materials. PVC fence is another most popular type which will provide you durability and affordability at the same time. Therefore, choose the one that can give you maximum advantages and also meet your budget requirement.
