A split-rail fence (also known as a post-and-rail fence) is an open-style fencing system made of horizontal rails fitted into routed posts, typically used to define property boundaries without obstructing visibility. Split-rail fences are popular for large properties, equestrian facilities, and rural estates where clear demarcation is needed without the visual weight of solid privacy fencing.
Split-rail fencing works best for:
Important: Split-rail fencing may not be ideal if:
Whether you are marking a large property line in Harrison Township or containing pets in Moorestown, we build split-rail systems tailored to your specific needs.
Most fence failures we replace result from shortcuts in installation—not the material itself. Understanding these failure points is exactly why our process is engineered the way it is.
Our installation process is designed to prevent every one of these failure points—so your property boundary remains secure and functional.
South Jersey's soils vary significantly—from sandy loam in much of Gloucester County to clay-rich pockets near waterways in Camden and Salem. Where clay soils are present, they retain moisture and accelerate freeze-thaw damage.
For nearly 20 years, Tri-State Fence & Deck has engineered our installation process to handle these ground-movement challenges. Led by owner Ed Torres, our family-run team understands exactly how those conditions affect long-term stability. We sink every split-rail post to the depth required by local code—typically 30 to 36 inches—and use heavy-duty bell footings to ensure your perimeter stays straight and stable through the first winter and beyond.
Our installation process is designed to prevent every one of these failure points—so your property boundary remains secure and functional.
We do not use big-box store lumber prone to warping in South Jersey's humid summers. Our installations use agricultural-grade materials rated for the tri-state region's humidity and temperature swings.
