Post and rail or split rail fence installation in Lillington, Pittsboro, Angier, and surrounding areas in NC

For a traditional perimeter around your property, post and rail or split rail fencing is the ideal choice. Endurance Fence Solutions, custom wood fence builder in Holly Springs, Raleigh, and throughout the Triangle, is the premier company for split rail fence installation.

 
Post and rail fencing describes any type of fence that uses horizontal rails between vertical posts and can vary by material and style. A split rail fence is a rustic approach to post and rail, typically using woods that have been split to be rough, uneven, and more natural looking than milled wood or vinyl. Either approach creates a functional, low-maintenance perimeter that defines your property without view obstruction and can be combined with welded wire to contain children and animals.

Pressure-treated pine or cedar is a great choice. Treated pine offers superior resistance to rot and termites, making it a budget-friendly option. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, warps less, and ages to a beautiful silver-gray patina.

Standard post spacing is either 8 feet or 10 feet apart. The exact distance depends on the length of the rails you choose. Spacing posts closer together provides maximum structural strength.

Standard post and rail fencing is too open for small pets. However, this can easily be solved by adding a black or green vinyl-coated wire mesh to the inside of the frame. This keeps pets safely contained without ruining the rustic, open look of the fence.

Not always. For standard backyard or boundary fencing, setting posts in packed gravel provides excellent stability and superior drainage to prevent rot. We typically recommend concrete only for high-stress areas like gate posts or corner posts.
