Railed fences, also known as post-and-rail fences, use horizontal boards or rails connected to vertical posts. These fences create an open, rustic look that blends naturally into the landscape. Commonly seen on farms, equestrian properties, and large residential lots, railed fences are ideal for marking property lines while maintaining an open feel.
At Brentwood Fence, we offer a variety of rail styles—split rail, round rail, and custom designs—to match your aesthetic and functional needs.
Railed fencing is more than just a boundary—it’s a statement of style and practicality. Here’s why homeowners and landowners across NH, MA, and ME trust Brentwood Fence for their rail fencing needs:
