A great American tradition, split rail fence originated during or before colonial times. With wood being readily available it was ideal for building fences to keep roaming animals away from fields and gardens. Today, split rail fence can be used to mark a property line or act as a back drop to landscape plantings. Lined with wire mesh, split rail fence can act as a barrier between the yard and road, keeping kids and pets safe. Split Rail Fence 3 Rail Section 11' Section
