What is post and railway fencing?
Post and railway fencing is a fence style that uses perpendicular columns fine to the ground with two or more horizontal rails connected between the columns. This rustic fencing style is often seen on horse farms and pastures. Postal and railway fencing is traditionally made of wood, although synthetic materials are now commonly available. Postal and rail fencing is usually constructed from round or square columns and round or flat rails.
There are two primary design methods for connecting fence rails to the fence columns. The traditional and robust method uses mortars that are cut through the column fence through which the rails are inserted. Cheaper but less resistant method is simply nait or screw the fence boards to the post; This method is usually faster. While Mortises are more durable, they are also more time consuming and more expensive.
When using the Motor Method Machine are roundedI square post. The holes are bored into the wood at the heights required for the fence rails. The rails, usually at the ends, are usually inserted into the holes in the columns where they rest without required to connect. Nailed or screwed columns and rail fences require square columns that provide a sufficiently large surface to secure the rails on the columns.
In the construction of post and rail fence, a number of side openings are dug, usually about 6 feet (2 m) apart. The rails of 12 feet (about 3.6 m) are nailed or concealed alternately to each other post on the lines of the fence to form a continuous structure. The method of alternating 12-foot (3.6-m) rails between 6 feet (2-m) columns provides the rails suitable support to prevent deformation and bending.
Post and Rail is the design of an open fence that is often used to indicate the lines of properties and content inLook animals, usually horses. Because of the open nature of this fencing style, postal and rail fence does not provide privacy or wind block. Most of the post office and railway fencing are made of natural, colored or painted wood. For outdoor fencing, pressure -treated forests such as Cedar such as Cedar are best suited. Other synthetic materials such as vinyl are durable alternatives to wood fencing.
Split railway fencing is the style of postal and rail fence, which uses narrow protocols divided longitudinally to create rails. This fencing design has a rustic appearance because the rails tend to monitor the natural lines of the protocol. On the other hand, the milled lumber used for many posts and rail fences has a consistent shape and size.
