Wood fences treated for outdoor use are by far the most popular form of fencing. They are practical, cheap to install, long-lasting, maintenance free, visually appealing, and ideal for horses.

Timber that has been pressure-treated both internally and externally has a lifespan of around 20 years and can be found in various finishes and presentations. LUPA supplies, transports and installs, if necessary, different types of wood fences whose timber has been treated with mineral salts, which may give them a greenish or brown external appearance. If used to fence paddocks or fields where horses are free, it is advisable to protect them by means of an electric fencing.

Wood fences are fast and easy to install. They are the ideal support for other fencing systems such as wire mesh or electric fencing. They usually require no foundations and are maintenance-free and resistant to the elements, parasites, humidity, manure, etc. Moreover, if an accident should occur, the fence will absorb part of the impact and can break without injuring the horse, being easy and cheap to repair.

The wood of pine and fir trees is of widespread use because its structure is especially liable to being treated. It should be noted that in areas of extreme humidity changes (such as the centre of Spain), both these timbers tend to split and crack to a greater or lesser extent. This natural process does not affect durability but can be unattractive. Such phenomena will also occur in machine-rounded posts.

LUPAsupplies all kinds of posts and railings for equestrian facilities. Posts and rails may be ordered in different measures and cross sections, depending on the customer’s needs. For horse fences, the most common models are the following:

The traditional English fencing for horses: attractive rectangular posts and rails. The vertical posts measure 200 x 12 x 8 cm, while the horizontal rails measure 250 x 12 x 4 cm. The fixing system uses wood screws which spiral into the timber, causing little damage and preventing the rails from eventually falling.

To complete this fencing we offer English-style gates of different sizes. If a larger access width is required, they can be installed as double doors. Appropriate support posts, hinge kits and galvanised closing mechanisms are also supplied.

You can find rectangular posts and rails for fencing in the store section of our website, as well as the screws, hinges and gates

Texan fences are the most popular form of fencing in livestock facilities. They are built with naturally grown round posts, non-homogeneous and with a different diameter at either end.

To use these fences for horses we recommend 2-metre-long vertical posts (8/10 cm in diameter) with 2.5-metre-long rails (6/8 cm in diameter). The posts can simply be stuck in the ground or can be surrounded by concrete. The rails are fixed to the posts by means of galvanized Texan clamps which are screwed into place and provide a solid finish to the fence.

We offer posts of different lengths and cross-sections at very competitive prices. They can be bought by the unit to repair existing fences, protect trees, install electric fencing or wire mesh, build cross-country obstacles, etc.

We offer several gate models for fences. The most commonly used model for Texan fences is the Texan field gate, a metal-core gate clad in treated wood. It includes a support post, to be fixed with concrete, and a simple closing system. If a larger access width is required, these gates can be installed as double doors, with a central removable post.

Solid 1-metre-high fence built with machined-rounded tanalized posts. It is usually used to delimit paths or tracks, protect steep slopes and, sometimes, for riding arenas.

Diagonal fences are built with 1.5-metre-high machined vertical posts (12 cm in diameter) and 2.5-metre-long machined horizontal and diagonal rails (10 cm in diameter). The top of the posts end in a half-moon shape on which the horizontal rails are fixed with wood screws.
