Ranch Rail Fence Options We Install
1. Wood Ranch Rail Fence Installation
Wood ranch rail fencing is one of the most common choices for rural residential, acreage, and estate-style properties. It gives a traditional ranch look and can be built with 2, 3, or 4 rails depending on the purpose of the fence.
A 2-rail fence is often used for simple boundary marking. A 3-rail or 4-rail fence gives a fuller look and may be preferred when wire backing is needed.
2. Cedar Split Rail Fence Installation
Cedar split rail fencing gives a more natural and rustic appearance. It is a good option for front-facing property lines, ranch-style entrances, and properties where the fence appearance is a major priority.
Cedar also works well for outdoor fencing and develops a natural weathered look over time.
3. Vinyl Ranch Rail Fence Installation
Vinyl ranch rail fencing gives a clean, open look with lower maintenance compared to wood. It is a suitable option for property owners who want a ranch-style fence without regular painting or staining.
White vinyl is a common choice, while other color options may be available depending on the project requirement.
4. Ranch Rail Fence With Wire Backing
Wire backing can be added when the fence needs to support animal containment or add more security. This is commonly used for dogs, horses, and general livestock.
The right wire option depends on the animal, fence layout, and how the property is used. Rocket Fence can review the property and suggest a suitable option during the estimate.

The most common ranch rail fence has 3 or 4 horizontal corral boards while some have crossing boards or "crossbuck style". Most ranch rail fences are 4' tall while some are 4.5' or 5' tall. It's very common to add 2x4 welded wire to keep dogs/pets contained and other animals out.
