FAQ
What is the difference between a morticed post and a standard square post for post and rail fencing?
A morticed post has square pockets cut into the face at set heights to accept the shaped ends of rails directly - no brackets or fixings are needed at the joint, giving a clean traditional appearance and a structurally sound connection. The M-way rail is the corresponding rail with profiled ends that slot into those pockets. A plain square post uses sawn rails nailed or screwed to the face, which is quicker to erect and more flexible where post spacing is irregular or the ground slopes, but gives a less finished look. For most rural and estate post and rail work, the morticed system is the neater choice on level ground.
How many rails do I need and what determines the spacing?
That depends on the fence height and its purpose. A two-rail fence at around 1 m high is typical for a garden boundary or path edging where containment is not critical. A three-rail fence at 1.2-1.5 m suits horse paddocks and stock boundaries where a more substantial barrier is needed. The chestnut posts in this range are pre-morticed for two or three rails at appropriate heights. Rail spacing should be even, with the bottom rail set low enough to deter animals pushing underneath - typically 150-200 mm from the ground for livestock use.
