Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about wood split rail fencing? Here are answers to some of the most common ones we hear.
What's the difference between two-rail and three-rail split rail fencing?
The main difference is height and coverage. Two-rail fencing sits lower and is often used for simple boundary marking or decorative purposes, while three-rail fencing stands taller and provides a bit more of a barrier. We’ll help you choose based on your property and purpose.
Can split rail fencing be used to contain animals?
It can, especially when combined with wire mesh. On its own, split rail is better suited to marking boundaries and containing larger livestock. Adding welded wire or mesh backing makes it effective for keeping smaller animals and pets securely inside.
What makes wood split rail fencing a cost-effective option?
Wood split rail fencing uses fewer materials than traditional privacy or board fencing, with spaced horizontal rails and sturdy wood posts. This simple design makes it an economical choice for covering larger areas while providing a classic, rustic appearance.
Is wood split rail fencing suitable for uneven or sloped properties?
Yes. Wood split rail fencing works well on uneven and gently sloped terrain. Its post-and-rail construction can follow the natural contours of the land, making it a practical option for larger properties, rural areas, and landscapes with changing elevations.
