Browse our Chestnut rail fencing below, or use the Shop menu above for more options. Cleft Chestnut Post and Rail, sometimes called Sussex Rail, is made from untreated Chestnut hardwood. The wood is cut in winter, when there is less sap, which increases its durability. All of our Chestnut post-and-rail is sourced from local producers.
