Why Choose a Split Rail Fence?
More than likely you know of those rustic fences that often line rural properties. These fences are usually made of vinyl or wood and have two, three, or four rails, with lots of open space. This fence style is also known as “ranch rail” or “post and rail” fence.
Split rail fences are often associated with rural properties because they are great at containing horses and cattle. They are not exclusively for farms though, as they are an economical fencing option and a great way to define your property lines in the suburbs.
The security of split rail fencing is often enhanced with the addition of wire mesh. Check out your wire mesh options below.
Your wood choices for split rail will be pressure-treated pine, cedar or black locust.

Origin of Bucks County
Bucks County is one of the three original counties created by William Penn in 1682. Penn named the county after Buckinghamshire, the county in which he lived in England. He built a country estate, Pennsbury Manor, in Falls Township, Bucks County.
Some places in Bucks County were named after locations in Buckinghamshire, including Buckingham and Buckingham Township, named after the former county town of Buckinghamshire; Chalfont, named after Chalfont St Giles, the parish home of William Penn’s first wife and the location of the Jordans Quaker Meeting House, where Penn is buried; Solebury Township, named after Soulbury, England; and Wycombe, named after the town of High Wycombe.
