Cost of installing Legacy Rail – flexible fencing  

 In most cases, a fencing contractor would come to your site, mark out your fence, install your posts, and assemble your strainer posts. After that’s done, the rail can be installed.  

Depending on the size of your property, the posts you choose, and the number of rails you install, the cost will vary. It’s simpler to install one rail, and it’ll take less time, so less money is spent. 3 or 4 rails will require extra time.   

One way you can save on this expenditure is to share the work. While a fencing contractor can install the posts, you can attach the rails yourself. 

Check to see if your Fencing Contractor is open to this idea. 

It’ll also be worth exploring the option of installing the horse fence yourself.

Each End assembly: $160 

Each Corner assembly: $250   

Triple assembly: $350 

Cost of Legacy Rails and Fencing Materials 

Legacy Rails are imported from America in a 200-metre roll and we provide it to high-end property owners across Australia and New Zealand. 

It is a complete fencing system with its tensioner, end plates and line brackets. The fencing materials are all patented and we recommend using only the original parts for installation. 

The installation of Legacy Rail is pretty similar to the original Horserail. The only difference is while on Horserail you need two attaching buckles and you end up with an in-line tensioning spooler in the middle of rail, with Legacy Rail the end plate and tensioner are all combined into one. 

So this gives you a much cleaner and more beautiful rail finish without any in-line tensioner.  

The cost is based on 100-metre fencing with 3 rails and 4 metres of post spacing. All prices include GST.

• Distance between your property and the warehouse or factory of your supplier.
