Post and rail fencing defines a boundary without closing it in. Its open, horizontal structure preserves your sightlines and allows the natural character of your landscape to remain on full display. It is an affordable option for properties of all sizes, particularly those with larger acreage, where covering a lot of ground is the priority. Each wood type develops its own character over time as it weathers naturally to a silvery gray.

Post and rail is one of the most cost-effective wood fencing options, particularly for larger lots where total linear footage makes material cost a significant factor.
The rail configuration does not obstruct the surrounding landscape, making it a natural choice for properties where visibility and openness are part of the appeal.
Individual rails can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the fence line. As a result, repairs tend to be more straightforward than with other fence types.
Post and rail fencing is well-suited for decorative purposes and pet containment.
We offer two treated pine options. Green-treated pine is resistant to insects, rot, and decay. Copperwood is an exclusive product from our long-term supplier, Ozark Timber, and has been available from Peerless for over 25 years. Copperwood weathers first to a warm copper tone before gradually settling into a distinguished gray over the life of the fence.
Cedar has a light, natural hue with a subtle red tinge that gives it a warm, appealing appearance right from installation. It weathers gracefully over time and is a popular choice for homeowners who want a fence that looks as good as it ages.
Wood fences require ongoing maintenance to preserve their appearance as they age. Our maintenance guide covers what to expect and how to care for your fence over time.
Warranty coverage varies by wood type. Copperwood carries a 15-year limited warranty against damage from insects or rot. Green-treated pine is under warranty for one year against manufacturing defects. Cedar is under warranty for three years against manufacturing defects.
