Ranch-style post and rail fences with two, three or four horizontal rails for horse farms, large lots, driveways and long boundary lines.
A ranch or post and rail fence uses sawn posts and horizontal rails to create a clean, open boundary. The look is traditional farm country, and the spacing is easy to see over, which suits horse properties, long driveways and large residential lots. Owners across Middle Tennessee choose two-rail fences for appearance and three or four rails for added visibility and containment.
We start with a Free Estimate and walk the boundary, talking about animals, gates, slope and drainage. Posts are set deep with space chosen for the rail length, rails are fastened with strong screws or nails and corners and gate posts are braced for the load. We talk about adding no-climb wire on the inside for dogs, goats or small livestock, and we explain how wood species and finish change maintenance. Ranch fences are long, so small mistakes show. We string a line for the posts, keep rail spacing consistent and check the top line against the horizon as we go. If you plan to add wire later for pets or small animals, we space the posts to make that easy, which saves rework and keeps the finished fence tidy from the road.
Two rails look open and tidy, while three or four rails improve visibility and containment, and we explain the trade-offs.
Corners, ends and gate posts take the load, so we set and brace them deeper and stronger.
Wire mesh on the inside keeps dogs and small animals from slipping between rails.
Staining, painting or leaving the wood natural changes the upkeep, and we help you plan it.
