Split Rail Fences
Frequently Asked Questions
- What lengths do the rails come in?
- We make the rails 10 feet long. They are assembled in a zig-zag fashion which yield a 7 feet of fencing per rail length.
- How much do you charge per rail?
- Each 10 foot oak rail costs $12 a piece.
- Can you ship the fence to me?
- Yes, we can ship almost anywhere in the continental United States. For example, we will ship orders of 30-100 rails with our own truck within 100 miles of our base. For larger lots, we can send a tractor trailer load wherever you need. We will do our best to deliver the rails wherever they need to go.
- We charge for shipping on a quote basis. We factor in the quantity of rails, the distance of travel, fuel, and handling costs for each job.
- What kind of wood do you use?
- We use locally harvested red and white oak.
- How long do the fences last?
- We generally tell people that the fences will last 20-50 years. It all depends on the sunlight, rain, shade cycle, etc. We make our rails thick and beefy which adds life to the fence.
- How long will the production and shipping take?
- We split each rail by hand to custom order. Lead times for orders will vary depending on the season. We usually estimate 6-8 weeks for larger orders during the summer when we're more busy. We can squeeze in smaller orders fairly quickly though. Feel free to call us at 978-249-2206 for exact timing.
