Post and Rail Fencing Nampa, ID
Post and Rail Fencing Company Near Nampa, ID
As experienced fencing contractors serving Nampa, Idaho and the surrounding areas for over 10 years, we know that finding the right fencing solution for your unique property can be a challenge.
That’s why we specialize in beautiful and long-lasting post and rail fences that provide both security and aesthetic appeal.
A post and rail fence uses sturdy wooden posts with holes drilled through them, with horizontal wooden rails slotted through to connect the posts.
This creates a timeless, rustic look perfect for rural properties, ranches, and farms. With customized design options we can build you a fence that matches your landscape and functional needs, whether you need to contain livestock, pets, delineate property lines, or just want to add some visual interest.
With proper installation and maintenance, a post and rail fence can last over 15 years. The natural wood will weather to a distinguished gray, only becoming more charming over time.
Let our skilled team handle the complexities – with precision planning and execution, we’ll construct you a fence you can enjoy for years to come.
Process We Follow for Post and Rail Fencing
In-Depth Consultation and Quote
The first step for any new fencing project is an on-site meeting and consultation. We’ll walk the perimeter you want to fence and discuss your unique needs and preferences. What will the fence be used for? Do you want to keep a clean, modern look or embrace a more natural aesthetic? What type of posts and rails appeal most to your vision?
By asking the right questions, taking measurements, visually surveying, and using special software, we can then provide you with a detailed, custom fence quote with zero surprises or hidden fees down the line. If you decide to move forward, we schedule a date for efficient, professional installation.
Precision Design and Materials Selection
Post and rail fences require precision planning, quality materials, and proper construction to achieve structural integrity and longevity. Our experts will handle all the details for you seamlessly.
First we map out the planned fence line based on property boundaries, gates, existing structures and terrain. Then we determine post depth and spacing intervals based on fence height, span lengths, and soil conditions to ensure sufficient support.
For wooden posts and rails, we only use durable, responsibly-sourced wood types that can withstand Idaho weather extremes without quick decay – usually cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated pine. Finishes like paint or stain can customize the look further. We also offer sturdy, long-lasting PVC post and rail fencing which never needs staining or other maintenance.
Efficient Installation in 3 Phases
With all the prep work done, our crew will then efficiently install your new post and rail fence in 3 main phases over 1-3 days:
Phase 1: Post Hole Digging and Installation We dig precise holes at measured intervals along the planned fence line using an auger drill attachment on our truck. The holes are deeper than frost level and filled with concrete to anchor the posts securely. Working assembly line style with teams of 2-3, we insert and level all posts into position in the cured concrete.
Phase 2: Rail and Custom Fence Element Installation Next we drill corresponding holes through the protruding posts every 12-16 inches. Then we slot the rails through the post holes and use galvanized bolts to reinforce. This connects all posts securely in a panel. Any custom fencing elements like lattices, gates, or decorative elements are also integrated seamlessly during this stage.
Phase 3: Finishing TouchesAs the final polish to complete your new investment, we clean up the site thoroughly, hauling away excess materials. We can also apply protective finishes if selected or make any last adjustments to ensure you are 100% satisfied. Enjoy your finished post and rail fence for years to come!
Cost of Post and Rail Fencing in Nampa, ID
The exact cost of your new post and rail fence in the Nampa area will depend on several key factors:
Fence Height/Length – Taller fencing and longer spans naturally require more materials, equipment, labor and therefore higher overall project cost. We charge per linear foot based on height.
Post and Rail Types – Hardwood species like cedar cost more than pine but last longer. Decorative PVC is the most expensive material option but needs zero maintenance. The number of horizontal railings spaced between posts also impacts cost.
Terrain and Accessibility – Fences installed on hilly, uneven or heavily wooded sites take more time and work to dig level post holes and maneuver equipment. These specialty site conditions increase overall project fees. Easy backyard installations start lower.
Gates/Additional Fence Elements – Adding gates, lattices, decorative tops or privacy screens looks beautiful but does add more in materials and labor. Simple, straight fence lines are most affordable.
While each estimate is tailored to your unique specifications and site, most standard backyard post and rail fences run $25-$45 per linear foot installed. This gets you a sturdy, attractive 4 foot tall pine wood fence with 4 horizontal rails. Gates, additional height, and premium materials would fall towards the higher end of that cost range.

FAQs About Post and Rail Fencing in Nampa, Idaho
Do post and rail fences provide security and privacy?
Post and rail fences demark property lines clearly and prevent casual trespassing, but will not keep out a determined intruder or block all views. Optional lattice inserts can improve privacy slightly while retaining the light, open feel. For maximum security and seclusion, we recommend alternating board-on-board fencing.
How long does a wooden post and rail fence typically last?
Properly installed post and rail fences built with decay-resistant wood species like cedar or redwood and with galvanized hardware should last 15-25 years under regular weathering. Checking condition yearly and applying protective stain when needed extends lifespan further.
Can you build a post and rail fence on a slope or hill?
We install premium post and rail fencing on all types of terrain. The posts simply need to be set deeper into the ground to ensure equal stability across elevation changes. Let our team handle this challenge – we have the equipment and expertise.
Should I choose pressure-treated pine, cedar, or vinyl posts and rails?
Each material has pros and cons. Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable, soft cedar offers a refined look, while PVC vinyl needs no maintenance. Let our team weigh the options during your free quote consultation.
What is the maximum span recommended between posts?
For structural integrity, we recommend a maximum span of 8 feet between posts for pine wood and 10 feet for rigid vinyl. Greater distances risk future sagging or detachment under pressure. More posts boosts stability but increases project costs slightly.
How far below ground should posts be buried?
Ideally post holes should be dug to a depth of 3-4 feet or to the level of bedrock underground to anchor them below the frost line in winter. Deeper holes provide better reinforcement but take heavier equipment to excavate and more concrete to fill.
What can I expect during the installation process each day?
You can anticipate mild noise and activity plus some loose dirt and tire tracks from our equipment installing the fence components. We take care to protect existing structures and greenery and clean the site fully after. Most projects take 1-3 days depending on length.
How much space should I leave between the fence and existing structures?
We recommend a gap of 5-6 inches between fences and existing buildings, pools, or retaining walls. This allows room for air flow, future repairs, vegetation etc without compromising stability. Gates should have clearance to swing open without obstruction.
Can you incorporate decorative elements like arbors, lattices or benches?
Absolutely! We specialize in designing customized post and rail fences to match your unique personality and needs through creative use of line posts, varying rail and lattice patterns, arbors, planter boxes, benches, privacy screens and more. Just ask!
What kind of warranty or guarantee do you provide on new fences?
We stand behind every post and rail fence we build, offering an industry-leading 5 year structural warranty from date of completion covering defects in materials or craftsmanship. This gives you assurance and peace of mind as you enjoy for years to come!
