4 Panel Entryway DIY Kit – Cypress or Ironbark
Where the Property Begins
The entryway sets the tone for everything beyond it. Across Australian farms, acreage properties and rural homes, post and rail fencing has long marked the beginning of the property. Our 4 Panel Entryway Kit builds on that familiar Australian style, giving you a simple framework for creating a defined entrance without the scale of a larger entryway.
The kit includes four panels of premium three-rail post and rail fencing. From there, you can choose the gateway width, gate style and layout to suit your property. So whether you are framing a driveway, paddock entrance or smaller acreage property, you can create the entryway around your land.
Create Your Own Gateway
The gateway width is entirely up to you, which means you can choose the opening that works best for your vehicle access and property. Add one of our timber gates for a complete Saltram Rural entrance, or use a simple steel farm gate when practicality is the priority.
Because the gate is separate from the kit, you can create the entrance that suits your needs. The four timber panels then frame the gateway and give the property a clear and considered entry point.
Choose Your Entryway Layout
The four panels can be arranged in two different configurations: Straight or Flared Funnel. Both offer a simple way to define your entrance, but they create a slightly different approach.
The Straight configuration keeps things simple, with the panels running straight from the gateway towards the road. This creates a clean and traditional entrance that works particularly well where you want the fencing to follow the existing boundary.
The Flared Funnel gives you more flexibility with the approach. You can position two panels on each side parallel with the road before angling the remaining panels towards the gateway. Alternatively, you can use one panel parallel with the road and angle the remaining panel in towards the entrance.
As a result, the Flared Funnel can create a broader or more directional entrance, depending on the space available and the shape of your frontage.
Premium Australian Timber
Choose between Australian Ironbark or Queensland White Cypress, depending on the character you want for your property. Both timbers bring a strong connection to the Australian landscape and work naturally across rural and acreage settings.
Ironbark provides rich colour, density and substantial natural strength. Meanwhile, Cypress offers warm tones, distinctive grain and the familiar character of traditional Australian rural fencing.
We use sustainably harvested Australian timber throughout the kit. As a result, you get a premium natural material that complements both established properties and new acreage developments.
Choose Your Fence Construction
You can select fully mortised or face-fixed construction, so you can choose the style that best suits your fencing.
With fully mortised construction, the rails sit neatly within the posts for a traditional, integrated appearance. Alternatively, face-fixed rails bolt directly to the front of the posts, creating a simpler profile and offering greater flexibility during installation.
Each panel measures 2700mm from post centre-point to post centre-point and uses substantial 150mm x 150mm posts with three 50mm x 150mm rails. Extended-height end posts then add strength and give the entryway greater visual definition.
What’s Included
The 4 Panel Entryway Kit includes:
- 4 x post and rail fence panels
- 3 rails per panel
- 2700mm panel width – measured from post centre-point to post centre-point
- 150mm x 150mm timber posts
- Extended-height end posts for additional strength
- 50mm x 150mm x 2700mm timber rails
- Choice of Straight or Flared Funnel layout
- Choice of fully mortised or face-fixed construction
- Choice of Australian Ironbark or Queensland White Cypress
- Raw timber ready for your preferred finish
The gate is not included, because the gateway width is entirely your choice. You can add one of our timber gates, or use a suitable steel farm gate for a practical working entrance.
Finish It Your Way
We supply the entryway raw, so you have complete control over the finished appearance. If you want to customise the timber, you can purchase a tin of our SaltraGuard oils or stains separately and apply your chosen finish yourself.
You might choose an oil to highlight the natural timber grain, or use a stain to change the colour and character of the timber. Either way, you can coordinate the entryway with your existing fencing, gates and surrounding landscape.
Built Around Your Property
Most Australian rural properties use post and rail fencing in some form. For that reason, an entryway like this feels familiar while still giving you the freedom to create something that suits your property.
The 4 Panel Entryway DIY Kit gives you the timber framework, but you decide how it works with your land. Choose the Straight configuration for a simple, traditional entrance, or use the Flared Funnel to create a broader and more directional approach.
Then, add your preferred timber or steel gate and finish the timber in your chosen SaltraGuard product. Together, these elements create a practical and considered entrance that marks the beginning of your property.
