Comparative Rail Strength

Rails set on edge allow greater post spacing. When the fence design requires rails to be mounted flat, strengthen the structure by reducing the distance between posts.

Options in Joinery

The strongest joints between rails and posts are those that use holes or mortises in the posts, especially if the rails are installed on edge. These joints require a lot of work to make. It takes time to cut the holes or mortises, and they must be aligned perfectly for the rails to fit correctly. Simpler joinery, such as butted joints or those that use metal brackets, requires less work and is more typical for standard board fences.
