Farm & Country Fencing supplies quality UK-sourced sawn timber for domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural and equestrian applications.
Timber is sourced from trusted UK mills and can be supplied in a range of treatments, species, sizes and finishes. Available options include treated softwood and hardwoods such as oak and Iroko, with bespoke timber sourced according to the requirements of the project.
All our FSC-approved fence posts include a full 15-year warranty. Rails are selected for their low knot content and dried before treatment to help reduce bowing. They can be purchased individually or in pack quantities.
Whether you require fence posts, rails or bespoke sawn timber, our experienced team can help identify an appropriate product and provide a tailored quotation.
Sawn timber has been cut into defined rectangular or square sections, creating straight sides and consistent dimensions.
For fencing, this commonly includes:
- Square or rectangular fence posts
- Post-and-rail fencing rails
- Capping rails
- Kickboards
- Gravel boards
- Bracing timbers
- Gate posts
- Timber for bespoke fencing structures
Sawn timber differs from peeled or machined round timber, which retains or recreates a circular profile. Its flat faces make it suitable for applications requiring accurate positioning, secure fixings and a clean, structured appearance.
Farm & Country Fencing sources its timber from trusted mills in the UK.
Using reliable suppliers helps maintain consistent standards across the timber range and gives customers confidence in the source and quality of the material they are purchasing.
UK sourcing also enables Farm & Country Fencing to maintain close relationships with its suppliers and source bespoke timber for projects that cannot be completed using standard products.
Customers can purchase timber for their own installation or discuss a complete professionally installed fencing project with our team.
Farm & Country Fencing supplies FSC-approved fence posts sourced from trusted UK mills.
FSC approval provides customers with recognised assurance about responsible timber sourcing. It may also help contractors and organisations meet environmental procurement requirements.
All Farm & Country Fencing fence posts include a full 15-year warranty.
This provides clear protection for one of the most important structural components within a timber fence. The warranty can also be passed on by contractors to their own customers, subject to the applicable warranty terms.
The 15-year warranty applies to Farm & Country Fencing's fence posts, subject to the applicable warranty terms. It should not be interpreted as covering every rail, hardwood product, fixing or complete installation.
Correct product selection, storage, handling and installation remain important to the performance of the timber.
Treated softwood is a versatile and widely used material for outdoor fencing.
It combines practical strength with straightforward handling and can be supplied in a variety of sections for posts, rails and other fencing components.
Appropriate treatment helps protect outdoor timber against decay. The treatment should be selected according to how and where the timber will be used, particularly where posts will be installed in direct contact with the ground.
Potential applications include:
- Post-and-rail fencing
- Livestock boundaries
- Garden fencing
- Equestrian fencing
- Gates and gate posts
- Kickboards and capping rails
- Commercial boundaries
- Bespoke timber fencing
The timber dimensions and treatment should reflect the loads, exposure and expected use of the finished structure.
UC4-treated timber is intended for outdoor use in direct ground contact, where the risk of moisture exposure and decay is greater.
Farm & Country Fencing uses UC4-treated sawn posts within appropriate fencing installations.
At Marquis Meadows in Harpenden, Farm & Country Fencing used UC4-treated sawn posts for 240 metres of post-and-rail fencing. Part of the boundary crossed flood-prone ground beside a riverbank, making suitable ground-contact treatment particularly important.
UC4-treated timber with a 15-year warranty was also used for a 100-metre rural post-and-rail boundary incorporating high-tensile barbed wire.
These projects demonstrate the importance of matching the timber treatment to the conditions of the site rather than selecting posts by size alone.
Farm & Country Fencing supplies rails selected for their low knot content.
Low-knot rails provide a cleaner, more consistent appearance. The appropriate rail dimensions will depend on:
- The distance between posts
- The number of rails required
- The purpose of the fence
- The animals or users around it
- Any stock wire or mesh being added
- The expected pressure on the boundary
- The appearance required
Farm & Country Fencing can help customers identify suitable rails for their proposed fencing system.
Farm & Country Fencing's rails are dried before treatment to help reduce bowing and improve dimensional stability.
Timber remains a natural material and may still respond to changing moisture and weather conditions. Correct storage before installation can help preserve its condition.
Oak is a durable hardwood valued for its natural character, traditional appearance and suitability for prestigious or heritage-style fencing projects.
Farm & Country Fencing can source bespoke oak timber for applications including:
- Morticed post-and-rail fencing
- Estate and parkland boundaries
- Gate posts and bespoke gates
- Traditional landscape projects
- Repairs to existing hardwood fencing
At Hatfield Forest, Farm & Country Fencing installed bespoke morticed oak posts with scarfed oak rails for the National Trust. The fence defined a newly cleared section of parkland while retaining an appearance appropriate to the historic setting.
The project also incorporated oak-hung field gates and pedestrian kissing gates, showing how bespoke hardwood timber can form part of a complete, carefully coordinated boundary.
Oak is a natural material, so variations in colour, grain and surface character should be expected.
Farm & Country Fencing can source Iroko for suitable bespoke projects.
This durable hardwood may be selected for gates, external joinery and other applications where appearance and outdoor performance are important. Required dimensions, finish, quantity and intended use should be provided when requesting a quotation.
Availability, price and lead time may differ from standard treated softwood.
Not every fencing or outdoor project can be completed using standard timber sections.
Farm & Country Fencing can source sawn timber to bespoke specifications, including different:
- Lengths
- Widths
- Thicknesses
- Timber species
- Treatment options
- Finishes
- Quantities
Bespoke timber may be required for:
- Non-standard fence repairs
- Custom gates
- Heavy-duty fencing
- Heritage and parkland projects
- Commercial or industrial boundaries
- Specialist animal enclosures
- Work designed to match an existing installation
Customers should provide drawings, measurements, photographs or a written specification where available. Accurate information helps the team source the correct timber and prepare a reliable quotation.
Sawn posts and rails are widely used to construct traditional post-and-rail fencing.
This open fencing style can be adapted for:
- Horse paddocks
- Livestock enclosures
- Agricultural land
- Country estates
- Parkland
- Public open spaces
- Rural gardens
- Commercial landscapes
The number and size of rails can be varied according to the intended use. Stock wire, horse mesh, electric fencing or barbed wire may also be incorporated where appropriate.
Farm & Country Fencing has used UK-sourced, pressure-treated sawn timber across substantial post-and-rail projects for private clients, landowners and public organisations.
Customers requiring a completed fence can use the company's professional installation service, while contractors and competent end users can purchase the necessary timber on a supply-only basis.
Sawn timber can form the structural framework of agricultural and equestrian fencing.
Depending on the design, components may include:
- Treated fence posts
- Post-and-rail fencing rails
- Top rails
- Kickboards
- Bracing timbers
- Gate posts
- Straining assemblies
- Timber supporting stock wire or horse-safe mesh
Farm & Country Fencing has incorporated sawn capping rails, kickboards and bracing timber into large equestrian installations using high-tensile horse netting.
The appropriate timber dimensions and treatment depend on the fence design, post spacing, animals, ground conditions and expected pressure.
A gate post or straining post will normally experience different loads from an intermediate fence post. The complete system should therefore be considered rather than selecting every timber component solely by appearance or price.
Farm & Country Fencing supplies rails individually or in pack quantities.
Individual rails may suit repairs and smaller projects, while pack quantities can meet the needs of contractors and larger installations.
Customers should confirm the required dimensions and quantity when requesting a quotation.
The correct timber cannot be selected from appearance alone.
Before ordering, consider:
- The intended use
- Required dimensions and quantity
- Timber species
- Ground-contact and treatment requirements
- Structural loads and post spacing
- Required finish
- Warranty or FSC requirements
Farm & Country Fencing can help customers compare treated softwood, oak, Iroko and other available options according to their project.
