About Split Rail Fences
Traditional split rail fences typically use 10-12 foot rails with posts spaced 8-12 feet apart. 3-rail designs are most common for livestock, while 2-rail works for decorative borders.
Step 2: Materials & Cost
Cost Considerations
Total cost includes rails, posts, and optional labor. Cedar costs more but lasts longer untreated. Pressure treated pine is economical but may require maintenance.

Fence Cost Breakdown
Fence Calculation Formula
Posts = (Length ÷ Spacing) + 1 | Rails = (Length ÷ Rail Length) × Rails per Section
Total posts equals fence length divided by post spacing plus one end post. Total rails equals fence length divided by rail length (typically 10-12ft) multiplied by number of rails per section.
