What is a Split Rail Fence?

Split rail, or post-and-rail, fences are known for their rustic appeal, often associated with rural farmland. Its design is fairly basic, characterized by horizontal rails inserted into vertical posts, which creates an open design with hassle-free installation. Split rail fencing is ideal for defining property lines and separating outdoor spaces without blocking scenic views of your land. Whether you’re showcasing a garden or framing a pasture, it adds a rural charm that blends beautifully with the natural landscape.

Customization Options

Whether for residential or commercial properties, we ensure that each split rail fence project proves our commitment to quality and durability, offering a wide range of customizable options to best match your needs and aesthetic preferences.

Materials

Split rail fences are typically made from wooden materials, such as cedar and pine, to ensure longevity and easy maintenance. Modern styles are also constructed using vinyl or metal, and sometimes combine these materials to create a strong, contemporary look.

Gate Installations

Gate installations are excellent for enclosing a yard, garden, or pasture, adding both practicality and style to your post-and-rail fence.

Privacy Features

Although split rail fences don’t offer much privacy, adding elements like vines or plants, mesh screens, or additional wooden slats between the rails creates an extra barrier.
