Split Rail Fence Supplies


Fencing was traditionally done by simply digging into the earth, and fixing up sticks or pickets joined together with horizontal ones to ensure sturdiness and use. Fence boards were put up together or at a distance depending upon what they were to contain within them. Mostly used in rural areas, fences are of importance in small and big towns as well as homes that have large spaces surrounding them and those on the outskirts of cities.

Split rail fences

Split rail fences made from cedar, spruce or pressure treated wood and can be used around yards, pools, and gardens, for pet and poultry containment or simply to show division of your property. The wooden boards that are put up horizontally could be flat or designed to resemble gothic structures, dog-ears or any style that you can think of. These boards are then held together with posts at regular intervals. In case of split rail fences, only two or three horizontal boards are necessary for fencing, hence the cost is reduced and convenience of installing it is enhanced.
