Hi thanks for that. Are these guys wholesalers to the local suppliers,

 

[carpenter1]

Yes they supply quite a few.

I'd ask why you want 3*3" posts? Doesn't leave a lot to get two rails joined on the same post. Obviously it's copying the original but it would be a lot easier to get standard 5"*3" oblong posts.

The other posts are 6 x 3, these 3x3s are the intermediate posts. Did think about using 5 x 3 but it looks good with the narrower 3x3s and I thought it might not look quite right with thicker posts.

There's no such thing as intermediate posts if the rails are staggered, for strength.

6x3 all the way through, but you'll need another mortgage.

Railway sleepers are only £20 each, but the drive would look like a bullpen.

Is it morticed post and rail with intermediate "prikk posts"?

You may have to contact Scottish suppliers for 3x3 posts. Or ask Calders and Grandridge if they will do you some special order

I think all 5 x 3 would be too much. This looks right I think so just want to replace like for like

No its all nailed, trying to upload a photo but its not going well because the internet is on a serious go slow at the moment. Got about 250m to do.

It looks alright and there is only one join on the small post.
