If you have a large property line you want to define, split rail fencing is an ideal choice. This simple but elegant fence style is popular for farms, parks, businesses, and homes on large acre lots. Cost: Split rail fencing is affordable, durable, and beautiful to look at. Security: If you have smaller animals, like dogs or chickens, that you want to keep contained on the property, we can install wire mesh in the appropriate areas. This will keep the animals inside without distracting from the charm and visual appeal of a split rail fence.
