Details

Western red cedar stack fence, developed by early American pioneers, has also commonly been referred to as Battlefield fence, Worm fence, Snake fence, and ZigZag fence. Cedar stack fence offers both natural beauty and rustic charm. Installation is easy and because no fence post hole drilling are typically required, this stack style of fence is especially popular in difficult soils and rocky terrain. Further, when installed properly, the entire fence is above the ground level which eliminates ground contact and is practically entirely rot free.

Western red cedar stack fences and cedar split rail fences have proven more weather-resistant than those made of Pine, Spruce, and Hemlock. Cedar also resists insect infestation. Western red cedar wood has a distinct color which left uncoated will weather to a silver gray color. Cedar stack rail fence is very rustic in appearance. Each rail and post come in a slightly different size and shape.

Advantages - Cedar stack rail fence is a cost effective style for defining boundaries, and decorating property. Stack rail fencing is also one of, if not the easiest style of fence to install making it an ideal project for the do-it-yourselfer. There is no need to dig any post holes or purchase any fence posts for most fence installations.

Disadvantages - Stack fence requires more materials (fence rails) to create the zig-zag fence pattern than conventional split rail of comparable height and footage. Fence requires a preservative for the longest-lasting performance, however most installations are never treated.


ORDERING NOTES:

Calculating Cedar Stack Rail Fencing Requirements:

First, measure the distance you plan to fence. There will be two factors which affect your fence material calculations: the angle by which you stack rails and the height you stack to. We suggest a gentle angle of zigzag (130 degrees) and five rails per section of fence (providing for an approximate height of four feet). You will need approximately 60 feet of material for every 50' of coverage.

Bundle Quantities as Follows:

  • 10' Unscarfed Rail - 155 pieces

Truckload Pricing - We are pleased to offer competitive discounts based on volume purchases and cumulative sales. A full semi truckload will require the purchase of approximately 16 units (bundles) of rails.

NOTE: We reserve the right to supply 9' rails for small orders of less than one bundle of material at the same price due to availability.

Installation Guide to Stack Fence:

Step 1: When determining your fencing requirements, you may want to set 8' 2x4s on the ground, butting them together (not overlapping) as you figure the angle of zigzag you prefer.

Step 2: With each fence rail laying flat on its side, begin by measuring 8-12" in from both ends of rail. Make a mark. Drill completely through each rail using a 3/4" drill bit.

Step 3: One end of both your starting and ending sections of fence will require a 6 inch long section of rail placed between each rail to maintain its spacing. You may cut 6 inch long spacers from one of your rails with a handsaw. Nail rails to spacers as you build your cedar stack fence.

Step 4: After you have drilled holes through both ends of every rail, you are now ready to set your bottom or starter rails parallel to one another. Place the cedar rail either on rocks or posts at a height of approximately 4 inches above ground. Do not place your rocks or posts directly beneath the drilled rail holes.

Step 5: Next place your cross rails on top of your starter rails making sure to line up the holes as best you can. Continue laying out one rail over the other on its flattest side.

Step 6: After setting your final rail and therefore knowing your fence height, begin cutting 1/2 inch rebar to a length allowing suitable penetration through your cedar fence rails and into the soil. Use a sledge hammer to tap your rebar through the fence rails to the point where it is flush and into the soil to a proper depth.

Customer Install - Western Red Cedar Stack Rail and Concave French Gothic Garden Fence - Sandisfield MA

Here are some wonderful photo's from our customer Hal out in Sandisfield, MA, of his beautiful western red cedar stack rail fence and concave spaced French Gothic fence which he installed around his garden full of raised beds. To create access to the garden area, Hal also used a 3' wide High Tide Gate.

The project looks great Hal! We appreciate your business and the wonderful pictures. Good luck with the garden!

Reviewer: A viewer from Massachusetts

Great service on fence materials that are hard to find in my local area. I had thought that the shipping would make the cost too high, but the total price was less than my local lumber yard would have charged.

Easiest fence ever! 5 out of 5 stars

Reviewer: A viewer from Nashville TN

Installed 2 bundles (300+ pcs) of these along the driveway of my cedar log cabin. My fence is 3 rails high, enough to step over, but perfect for keeping people from driving cars and atvs on the grass, which is used for a wedding lawn. Creek rocks under the bottom pieces keep them off the ground and cheap 2’ rebar was the perfect size for staking into the ground and holding the rails together through the pre-drilled holes. Really happy with this fence and will probably buy more.
