Split Rail

Posts and rails

Pressure treated pine posts and rails, set in concrete the same as every fence we build. Two rail for a decorative boundary, three rail where the fence is doing real work. The treated lumber weathers to a soft gray over time, or takes stain once it has dried.

Wire mesh backing

On its own, split rail marks a line. With welded wire mesh fastened to the back side, it holds dogs and animals without changing the look from the road. The mesh sits behind the rails, so from the front you still see a rail fence, not a wire one.

Where it makes sense

Acreage and long property lines, where privacy fence pricing stops making sense. Pasture and animal containment with mesh backing. Front yards that want a defined edge without a wall. It is the most fence line per dollar of any wood option we install.

Gates

Walk gates and drive gates both work in a rail fence. A drive gate wide enough for a mower or a truck is the usual ask on larger lots, and it is easier to plan before the posts are set than after.
