Read the case studyA new post-and-rail front fence with a five-bar gate.
An open front lawn off a main road. The owners wanted a soft boundary and a proper gate without losing the open feel. Three-rail post-and-rail across the frontage with a five-bar gate on the drive entrance.
A red-brick house off a main road with an open front lawn. The owners wanted to define the boundary, keep the dog in and close off the drive properly, and keep the view from the front windows.
Three-rail post-and-rail across the frontage, set to a clean line. A five-bar gate on the drive entrance, hung true so it swings light and latches first time. Posts firmed in, verge made good.
It reads as a proper rural boundary, not a wall, which is what they wanted.

We asked Josh to install a new post and rail fence together driveway gates. He ordered all the materials and completed the job in 11/2 days. Realising that we had dogs to keep safe he also attached wire stock fencing to stop them jumping through the rails and onto the road. He explained that he had set the wire about 4 inches off the ground so so that we could strim the grass without breaking the trimmer cord all the time; neat touch. We were so pleased with the work that we asked him if he could plant a laurel hedge along the fence. He purchased the hedging plants cheaper than any quotes I had and had the hedge in within a day. Not an easy task digging all the holes in drought hardened Wealden Clay. Another excellent job and the hedge is thriving!John Curchod, northiam Read more reviews →

A long cleft post-and-rail run separating a paddock from the rape field next door. Hand-cleft rails, round-section posts, sat low into the slope. Looks like it grew there.
