What lengths of fences are available?
We make most wooden fences on the premises, this affords us the flexibility to make our fence sections to meet your needs. The standard length of fence sections is 8'; depending upon your needs, fences can be manufactured in shorter lengths or longer lengths up to 12'.
Can I just buy the fence and install it myself?

What is the difference between split rail and post and rail fences?
Both fences offer a more rustic look to your property. Post and rail is a white cedar product. Both the posts and rails are round, the rails being 10' long. Split rail fence consists of a locust post and an 11' long hardwood rail. The posts and rails are rough cut and squarish in shape.
