What Types of Fencing Does Rustic Rails Offer?

Updated

Rustic Rails offers four fencing-related product lines: round rail, split rail, fence post, and privacy fencing. They are made for log homes and rustic or rural properties, and they come from the same manufacturer that supplies the company's log siding, beams, and interior products, so the fencing can match the rest of a log home project. If you want a traditional open-rail look, round rail or split rail fits; if you need more enclosure, privacy fencing is the option; fence posts are the supporting component across those styles.

The four fencing options

Fencing type What it is Typical fit
Round rail Fencing built from round rails Traditional ranch and log home boundaries
Split rail Fencing built from split rails Rustic, open-country property lines
Fence post Posts that support rail fencing Paired with round or split rail runs
Privacy fencing Solid fencing that blocks sightlines Yards or areas where you want screening

Rustic Rails lists these under its Fencing section alongside Round Rail, Split Rail, Fence Post, and Privacy Fencing entries. The company describes itself as specializing in split and round rail fencing, which suggests those two are its core fencing strengths.

How to choose between them

The decision mostly comes down to how open or enclosed you want the fence to be:

  • Choose round rail or split rail when you want a classic, open fence that marks a boundary or lines a driveway without blocking the view. Split rail in particular is the look most associated with rural and log home settings.
  • Choose privacy fencing when the goal is screening rather than marking — for example, around a yard, patio, or area you don't want visible from the road or a neighbor.
  • Fence posts are not a standalone style so much as the structural piece that holds a rail fence together, so plan them as part of a round or split rail project.

Because Rustic Rails positions itself as a one-stop shop for log home outfitting, one practical advantage is style consistency: fencing, siding, trim, and outdoor deck railing can all come from the same source rather than being matched across vendors.

Matching fencing to a log home or rustic property

The company's product range is built around log and rustic homes — log siding, structural beams, interior paneling, mantels, stairs and railings, furniture, and outdoor deck railing. Fencing sits inside that same catalog, so it is intended to read as part of the same aesthetic rather than as a generic fence dropped onto a log property. If your project already uses log siding or a rustic exterior, choosing fencing from the same line keeps the rail profiles and finish consistent with the rest of the build.

What to confirm before ordering

The site does not publish fencing dimensions, wood species, pricing, or lead times, so those details need to come from the company directly. Rustic Rails lists a phone number (989.654.3118 and 877-4-LOGSIDING), an email ([email protected]), and a mailing address at 3663 Bourgeous Rd, Sterling, MI 48659, with business hours Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. There is also a quote request and inquiry form on the site. Useful questions to ask:

  • Which rail style and post spacing suits your property line or yard?
  • What lengths and heights are available for each fencing type?
  • What material and finish options exist, and how do they weather?
  • What is the current price and delivery timeline?

For a log home or rural property, the short answer is that Rustic Rails covers the two classic open-rail styles (round and split rail), the posts that support them, and privacy fencing for screening — with the added benefit of matching your fencing to the company's other log home products.
