Split Decision

Split rail fences are a fading part of our American scenery. Their aging and weathered wood display contrasting shades of black and gray, like an Ansel Adams picture. The vertical posts are cleverly designed to allow replacement rails to easily slide in. The split rail fences without the vertical posts are arranged in a zigzag pattern. They were 16 1/2 feet long, the length of a rod and provided an easy visual calculation of how many acres are in that section of land.

Chain link fences only remind us of the fabric of clothing that we have left behind.
