"Don't Buy Split Rail Fencing" That is, do not buy it until you know these important facts.
Rails are normally 11 feet long for a 10 foot space.
They should be made of a softwood, either spruce or hemlock. Mixed hardwood rails, usually lesser in cost, we feel are not a good choice. They tend to rot, mildew and discolor. We have a "very husky" beautiful softwood rail, very hard to find, you must see it. Post should be locust with a galvanized stapled top. We do not recommend treated post, in our opinion they are not as good and do not have a traditional look to them.
For a two rail fence your post should be.... 6ft long.
For a three rail fence your post should be. 7ft long.
