Western Red Cedar Split Rails are offered in three sizes, Jumbo, Standard, and Pony weight. This refers primarily to the rail girth, measurement around the fence rail. The hole and tenon dimensions are the same on all components amongst grades of our cedar split fencing, so they're universal in the sense that any post and any rail will fit together.
Advantages - Cedar split rail fence is one of the most cost effective styles for defining boundaries, decorating property, and fencing in livestock and horses. Split 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. Posts are typically set directly in the ground approx. 30" deep without any concrete. A tamping bar is used to compact the dirt around the post while backfilling.
Disadvantages - It is typical to have to retamp posts plumb after the ground settles around post so that the fence remains upright. This is especially true if the fence is installed in a wet area or it was wet when the fence was originally installed. Pouring gravel around the posts instead of backfilling with dirt will help prevent posts from leaning under the heavy weight of the rails and will also help with proper drainage of water away from the posts. Fence requires a preservative for the longest-lasting performance, however most installations are never treated.
ORDERING NOTES:

Hi Mark,
Just wanted to let you know that all the materials came in just fine. Myself and one other guy put the fence up in 8 hours the first day and 2 hours the second day.
We have finally arrived, our pole barn and trailer are in a "Gated Community". It looks great!
Thanks, Don M., Florida

Just wanted to pass along a thanks to your driver. Delivered on time Wednesday and stacked it up nice and neat where I wanted it. Excellent job. I will count and double-check the number of post and rails this weekend but I foresee no issues. Also wanted to say I love the rustic look of the fence. The 'rough-cut' look really makes it stand out versus other split rail fence types that you can buy in the large box stores. It will look good in the back yard of our 2 acres, I'll pass along some photos when it's finished in a couple weeks.
I am 73 & built the Hoover two rail split rail fence in the front of my home in 8 days. I have never had so many individuals stop & explain how much they enjoyed the fence. In this hi-tech age you guys have a product that is rare. Thanks many times over for providing me a quality product that stops cars & trucks just to take a look!
