Split-rail fence is a great way to visually define your home’s yard and increase its curb appeal. And because there are so many stately antique homes on Cape Cod and throughout southeastern Massachusetts, it is also a historically correct choice, regardless of the age of your own home.
Split Rail Fence Ideas
In the many years our Cape Cod fence company has been operating, we have seen split-rail fence used in innumerable ways: as a subtle method for defining the boundary between a client’s property and an adjacent home, along the street to ensure that errant vehicles don’t drift onto a lawn, to add texture behind a bed of plantings, and to create a sense of rooms within an outdoor living space. Split-rail fence can serve as an attractive support system when paired with discreet mesh-wire fencing affixed to it, perfect for keeping critters away from vegetable gardens.

When approached creatively, there really is no limit to the ways in which this fairly economical fencing option can enhance the look of your property.
While the term split-rail fence was coined to denote the use of logs that were simply split lengthwise, it now is used to denote the style, rather than the material. Today’s options include vinyl and composite material, both of which offer a less rustic look and last far longer than untreated wood.
