The Rustic Classic That Fits Western NC
Split rail fencing is one of the oldest and most beloved fence styles in America — and it fits the character of Western North Carolina perfectly. The natural, rustic look of split logs complements the rolling foothills, mountain landscapes, and rural properties that define this region better than any other fence style. Whether you are defining a property border, creating a landscaping accent, or adding character to a rural homestead, split rail fencing delivers timeless charm at an affordable price.

Split Rail Fence Styles & Applications
From simple property borders to pet containment and decorative landscaping — First Fence installs split rail fencing for every use across Western NC.
Cedar Split Rail Fence
Western red cedar is the premium choice for split rail fencing — naturally rot and insect resistant with a beautiful honey-brown color that weathers gracefully to silver-gray. Lasts 15-20 years with minimal care.
Pressure-Treated Split Rail
Chemically treated pine split rail offers excellent rot and moisture resistance at a lower price point than cedar. The most popular choice for Western NC homeowners looking for durability and value.
2-Rail Split Rail Fence
Classic two-rail design ideal for decorative property borders, landscaping definition, and open pasture perimeters where full containment is not required.
3-Rail Split Rail Fence
Three-rail configuration adds height and presence. A popular choice for front yard borders, driveway lines, and rural property perimeters throughout Western NC.
Split Rail with Wire Mesh
Welded wire or woven wire mesh attached to the inside of split rail fencing provides pet and small animal containment while preserving the natural rustic look of the fence.
Decorative & Landscaping Use
Split rail is the go-to fence for garden borders, flower bed edging, lakefront property definition, and decorative landscaping accents across Western NC properties.
