What do you want your fencing to achieve? Naturally, you want it to help secure your property or land from intruders – or, if the site is agricultural, perhaps to prevent cattle from escaping. However, you could still be reticent about the idea of fencing that would block a large amount of the view – from either side.

That’s where post and rail fencing can really come into its own, giving you both the stylistic and security benefits you seek. This type of fencing has a simple structure, consisting of vertical fence posts and horizontal rails. Thus, it is easy and quick to assemble – and even reassemble in a slightly different form.

You could opt for the latter strategy if, say, your land changes in size or shape, forcing you to readjust the fencing to accommodate the change. In any case, though, this variety of fencing will still let visitors see right through to your attractive field, garden, property or whatever else the fencing is guarding.
