What are 2 rail line posts used for in a cedar split rail fence?
These posts are installed between corner and end posts to support two horizontal split rails, creating a continuous 2-rail fence layout often used for decorative or boundary applications.
How do split rails fit into a 2-rail line post?
Each post includes two pre-cut mortise holes where the ends of split rails slide in securely. The rails are held in place without screws or hardware, offering a clean, traditional installation.
What is the standard spacing between 2-rail line posts?
Posts are generally spaced 10 feet apart, center-to-center, to match the length of standard 10’ cedar split rails for proper alignment and fit.
Do I need to stain or seal cedar split rail posts?
Sealing is not required since Western Red Cedar naturally resists decay and insects. However, applying a UV-protective finish can help preserve the wood’s natural reddish hue over time.
Are 2-rail line posts drilled for rails or can I modify them?
Yes, each 2-rail post is pre-drilled with two mortises to accept standard split rails. These posts are ready to install as-is, though additional modifications would need to be done on-site if required.
