Ranch rail looks simple, which is exactly why it gets built badly. Long runs magnify every error: one post out of line is visible from a hundred yards, and one post set shallow will lean before the second summer.
We string and set the whole run before a single rail goes on, so the line is true. Corner and gate posts get oversized holes and more concrete, because those are the posts that take the load.
- Two, three or four rail configurations
- Cedar or treated pine, sized for the span
- Corner and gate posts set deeper and braced
- Optional welded-wire or mesh backing for livestock and dogs
- Runs strung and squared before rails go up
Options & configurations
Two Rail
Open frontage and property lines where you want the boundary read, not the view blocked.
Three Rail
The working standard for paddocks and acreage. Good balance of strength and sightline.
Four Rail
Tighter spacing for smaller livestock or where you want a more finished look.
Wire Backing
Welded wire or no-climb mesh added behind the rails to hold dogs and small stock.
Ranch Rail Fences for Dallas yards
Ranch rail shows up on the edges of Dallas County, out past Seagoville and Sunnyvale and on the acreage that has not been subdivided yet. Those runs are long, and long runs are where clay soil does the most damage: a post that moves an inch at grade reads as a bend from the road. We set corners and gates deeper than line posts, brace them, and check the string twice before rails go on. Where a property backs onto a creek or a drainage easement we leave the bottom rail high enough that debris does not dam against it.
