NATURAL CHARACTER. OPEN VIEWS.
THE NORTH FENCE INC. / SPLIT RAIL WOOD FENCE
An open rail layout gives a property a defined edge while keeping the view through the fence. Consider this style when a visible boundary and a traditional wood appearance matter more than a solid screen.
Frame your landscape without hiding the view.
Use an open rail layout to give a yard or larger property a visible edge with a traditional wood appearance. It suits a landscape-focused boundary where openness matters more than a solid privacy screen.
POSSIBLE USES & PROJECT DETAILS
• Yard edges and larger open properties
• Landscape borders beside lawns or driveways
• Discuss pet needs separately from visual boundaries
A natural edge for welcoming outdoor spaces.
Consider split rail around landscaped portions of a business property where a defined edge should still feel open. Plan the rail route around the entrance, planted areas, and the paths used by visitors and staff.
POSSIBLE USES & PROJECT DETAILS
• Landscaped frontage and property edges
• Visual definition around outdoor grounds
• Keep entrances and pedestrian routes easy to navigate
Define landscaped areas on a working property.
An open rail fence may fit the landscaped or non-secure portions of a facility. Use it to discuss visual boundaries around grounds, while treating secure enclosures and vehicle protection as separate site requirements.
POSSIBLE USES & PROJECT DETAILS
• Landscaped edges outside operational areas

• Review other fence types where security is the priority
A few things to know as you plan your split rail wood fence project.
LET’S TALK
Split rail has an open layout and is better suited to defining a boundary while keeping views through it. If screening is a priority, discuss a solid fence style with the team.
Explain the animal’s size and containment needs before choosing a layout. An open rail fence alone may not provide the enclosure you need; confirm an appropriate solution with the team.
Share photos of slopes and changes in elevation along the proposed route. The layout and any adjustments need to be discussed for the specific conditions on your property.
