Overview
Cedar split rail fencing consists of horizontal cedar rails set into pre-drilled cedar posts. This style has been used for decades on rural properties, farms, and residential acreage.
It is best suited for aesthetic applications or for small animal applications such as dog fencing or yard fencing as opposed to full ranch animal containment.
Often chosen for its appearance, cedar split rail fence should be sealed to avoid turning gray in a short amount of time due to weathering.
Rails
Rails are made from split cedar, resulting in natural variation in shape, texture, and size.
Rail lengths are typically 8’ or 10’.
2-rail or 3-rail configurations are most common though rails may also be stacked in a zig-zag pattern without posts forming a snake-rail fence design.
Posts
Cedar posts are pre-drilled to accept split rails.
Systems are commonly built as 2-rail or 3-rail configurations, depending on layout and application.
Customizations
2-rail or 3-rail layouts.
Typical post spacing is either 8’ or 10′.
Optional wire mesh backing available if additional containment is needed.
Matching gates available in 4’ or 8’ lengths.
