Common Applications

Split rail fencing is a versatile choice for projects where a traditional wood fence complements the surrounding landscape.

Common applications include:

  • Residential property boundaries
  • Horse farms and small livestock enclosures
  • Parks and recreational facilities
  • Walking trails and nature preserves
  • Campgrounds
  • Agricultural properties
  • Decorative landscape borders

For customers needing additional containment, wire fencing can easily be attached to the flat nailable rail surface to help keep livestock and pets safely enclosed.


Built for Long-Term Performance

Every American Timber & Steel Split Rail Fencing system is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine, a wood species chosen for its strength and ability to accept preservative treatment.

Our rails feature tapered ends that slide easily into the matching posts, simplifying installation while creating a secure connection. The posts are manufactured with a flat nailable surface, allowing wire fencing to be attached when additional containment is required.

Pressure treatment with CA-C or MCA preservatives helps protect the wood against decay and insect damage, providing years of dependable performance in outdoor environments with minimal maintenance.
