Simple, Strong Fencing for Large Areas
Post and rail fencing is a practical and cost-effective solution for rural blocks, lifestyle properties and large boundaries where function comes first. Typically made from timber or steel posts with wire, mesh or rail infills, it’s ideal for enclosing paddocks, marking driveways or containing livestock.
This type of fencing offers flexibility across uneven terrain and large areas where more decorative options may not be practical or necessary. Post and rail fencing is often chosen for its open look and ease of repair, especially on farms or acreages that need to maintain clear property lines. It can also be paired with gates or additional fencing types for specific zones within a property. We also install rural, pet and Colorbond fencing for more secure or enclosed areas.
