The core material used in West Virginia Split Rail fencing is high-quality, naturally durable wood. The specific species of wood may vary, but the emphasis is on wood that possesses inherent resistance to decay and insect damage, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance.
The construction process involves splitting logs into rails and then assembling these rails between posts.

Hardware

The hardware options are primarily focused on the necessary components for constructing and maintaining a split rail fence, emphasizing functionality and longevity.
- Posts: While the primary product is the split rail itself, the successful installation of any fence begins with sturdy posts. West Virginia Split Rail utilizes pressure-treated wooden posts, ensuring resistance to rot and insect damage. These posts are essential for anchoring the split rails securely and providing the foundational support for the entire fence structure.
- Hardware for Rail Attachment: The method of attaching rails to posts is crucial for fence integrity.

This often includes metal brackets or specialized fasteners designed to withstand external forces and the natural expansion and contraction of wood.
- Gate Hardware: For properties requiring access points, West Virginia Split Rail provides robust gate hardware. This includes heavy-duty hinges and latches that are engineered to support the weight of a wooden split rail gate and operate smoothly over time. The hardware is designed to match the rustic appeal of the fencing while offering reliable functionality.
- Fasteners: A range of durable fasteners are employed to secure the rails to the posts and to assemble any gate components. These are typically made from corrosion-resistant materials to ensure they maintain their strength and appearance in outdoor conditions.
- Optional Accessories: Depending on specific project needs, additional hardware such as post caps might be available. These are designed to protect the tops of the posts from water ingress, thereby extending their lifespan and adding a finished touch to the fence.
Options-Styles
West Virginia Split Rail offers durable and aesthetically pleasing fencing solutions crafted from natural wood. Their products are designed to provide a classic look and reliable performance for a variety of applications, from defining property lines to creating charming enclosures.

YellaWood
Fences
YellaWood fence products are available in a variety of styles.
or Give us a Call
Product Summary
Surround your backyard in good looks. YellaWood® fence products give you beautiful boundaries with distinct style.
Construction and Materials
YellaWood lumber is pressure-treated for enhanced durability and longevity, making it an excellent choice for outdoor applications such as fencing. This treatment process infuses the wood with preservatives that protect against rot, decay, and insect infestation. The company uses a copper-based preservative system, which is known for its effectiveness and relatively low environmental impact.
The lumber is typically sourced from high-quality Southern Yellow Pine, a dense and strong wood species well-suited for structural uses. This species is chosen for its ability to accept and retain the pressure treatment effectively.
Construction and Materials
- Wood Type: Primarily Southern Yellow Pine.
- Treatment Process: Pressure-treated.
- Preservative System: Copper-based.
- Protection Provided: Resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage.
The pressure treatment involves placing the lumber in a sealed vessel, after which a vacuum is drawn to remove air from the wood cells. The preservative solution is then introduced into the vessel under pressure, forcing it deep into the wood structure. This ensures thorough protection throughout the material, not just on the surface.
The distinctive yellow color of YellaWood products is due to the presence of the copper in the preservative system, along with a tracer dye. This dye helps to visually confirm that the wood has been properly treated and that the preservative has penetrated the entire piece.
Hardware
YellaWood offers a variety of treated lumber products designed for fencing applications. These products are known for their distinctive yellow color, indicating they have been pressure-treated to resist decay and insect damage.
Treated Lumber Options for Fencing
- YellaWood® Brand Treated Lumber: This is the core offering for fencing projects. It is pressure-treated with an EPA-approved preservative to ensure longevity and durability against the elements.
Key Features and Benefits

- Versatility: YellaWood lumber can be used for a wide range of fencing styles, including privacy fences, picket fences, and agricultural fencing.

- Treated Wood: All YellaWood® fencing products are pressure-treated to protect against rot, decay, and insect damage. This treatment process enhances the longevity of the wood, making it a durable choice for outdoor applications. The treatment typically results in a light, greenish hue in the wood initially, which weathers to a warm, natural tone over time.
- Picket Fencing: While specific pre-fabricated picket styles are not detailed, the dimensional lumber provided by YellaWood® is suitable for creating custom picket fences. This allows for a wide array of designs, from traditional spaced pickets to more decorative patterns. The treated nature of the wood ensures that these pickets will withstand the elements.

Features and Benefits

Engineered for durability and longevity, YellaWood® lumber undergoes a rigorous treatment process to protect against decay, termites, and fungal growth. This ensures your fencing remains strong, stable, and aesthetically pleasing for years to come, minimizing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
The signature YellaWood® treatment process utilizes a copper-based preservative system, which is known for its effectiveness and environmental consideration.
