About the Service

Split Rail & Farm Fences, Done Right

Split-rail fences have a rustic charm and are quick to build over long runs. Add welded or woven wire to keep dogs and small livestock in, and a farm gate for equipment.

We plan posts, rails and gate placement around the terrain, access and animals. Cedar and treated rails weather to a soft gray or can be stained, and the open look suits country homes and wooded lots.

Music City Deck & Fence brings split rail & farm fences to homes and businesses in Nashville and across 14 Middle Tennessee cities.

Good to Know

Questions About Split Rail & Farm Fences

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

How far apart are the posts?

It depends on the style. Split-rail posts are often spaced several feet apart, and we plan spacing based on your terrain and use.

Will split rail keep my dog in?

Not on its own. Adding wire backing can keep dogs in, and we can recommend the right wire for your pet.

Can you install on rolling terrain?

Yes. Split-rail fences follow the lay of the land easily, and we plan gates and posts around grades.
