Fencing anyone?

Me and my 10 year old son have just completed making our trackside fencing.
We have used 140gsm card fashioning the posts at 0.2 Scale metres square and 1 scale metre high, with 3 horizontal slats at 0.2m in height (or should that be width?) with the posts set at 2m intervals.
I now have a question, Can anyone tell me the distance between the sleeper ends and the inside face of the fencing? We think this should be between 1 and 1.5 metre to enable the trains to take the curves without hitting it, is this realistic or not?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Track ballasting will start soon, is the correct width at the sleepers 1cm as I have read somewhere?
Once again any help would be appreciated.
