Post & Rail Wood Fence
Post and rail wood fencing consists of round, square, board, or split rails attached to posts. The posts and the rails are usually the same style, giving the fence a nice uniform look.
An open design allows these fences to be used for animal containment without blocking a view. This design is excellent for perimeter fencing, because the rails flow with the terrain.
Painting a post and rail fence can create a look of rural life and simple elegance. Because of its rustic style, it is popular in decorative applications as well.
Topping the posts or using finials can add a touch of sophistication.
Post and rail fences use the least amount of wood, making them well suited for large, open areas of land. These fences are flexible and adaptable. Cutting the rails in different lengths can accommodate tricky curves or changes in grade or terrain.
