Open rail fencing
Rail Fence Installation in Utah
Rail fencing marks a property line without blocking mountain views. We install composite, wood, cedar, vinyl, and steel rail fence installation for homeowners, ranchers, and contractors across the Wasatch Front.
What Rail Fence Installation Involves
Rail fence installation uses horizontal rails set into posts, usually in two or three rows, to define a boundary while leaving open sightlines across the yard or pasture. It's the fence style you see running along horse properties in Heber City and ranch lots outside Stansbury Park, where a solid privacy fence would feel out of place and block valuable views of the surrounding foothills.
Utah property owners choose rail fencing because it does the job of marking a boundary or containing livestock without walling anything in. It works equally well on a suburban corner lot in Saratoga Springs and on acreage near Grantsville, and it pairs easily with gates, wire mesh backing, or an existing fence line.
Whether you're a first-time property owner planning your own layout or a fence contractor bidding a full pasture perimeter, our team helps you land on the right post spacing, rail count, and material for the job before you buy a single piece.
Our Services
Rail Fence Materials and What They Offer
Rail fence isn't a single product. It's a style available in several materials, each with its own upkeep and budget profile, and we stock the components for all of them.
- Wood fence installation: traditional pine or fir rails at the lowest upfront cost, popular for ranch-style perimeters
- Cedar fence installation: naturally rot-resistant rails and posts that hold up to Utah winters with less warping
- Vinyl fence installation: rail sections that never need staining or repainting, a strong fit for busy homeowners
- Steel fence installation: heavy-duty rail framing for livestock containment or high-traffic property lines
- Composite fence installation: rails that combine the look of wood grain with the low maintenance of synthetic material
- Custom rail spacing: two-rail, three-rail, or four-rail configurations to match your property's use and style

How it works
Our Rail Fence Installation Process
Rail fencing goes up faster than most fence styles, but a straight, even line still depends on getting the layout right from the start. Here's how a typical project moves from first call to finished fence.
- 1
Free estimate and material selection
We walk your property line (or review your plans, if it's a contractor job) and help you choose wood, cedar, vinyl, steel, or composite rail based on budget and use.
- 2
Layout and post marking
We mark post locations along your boundary, accounting for grade changes, gates, and any corners the property line requires.
- 3
Post setting and rail installation
Posts are set to the proper depth for Utah's frost line, then rails are attached in your chosen configuration, two, three, or four rows.
- 4
Final walkthrough and gate fitting
We check every rail for level and spacing, fit any gates, and walk the finished line with you before calling the job complete.
