More Information

Cleft Chestnut Post and Rail, sometimes called Sussex Rail, is made from untreated Chestnut hardwood.  The wood is cut during the winter when there is less sap in the wood, which increases its durability.

A Cleft Chestnut post is supplied untreated, but if necessary, you can apply additional treatment to the bottom section before putting it into the ground.
The sides of some posts may be trimmed.

A Sawn-treated softwood plate mortised for 2 or 3 rails is used to attach cleft rail fencing to square gate posts or walls.

Cleft intermediate and corner posts are basically half a tree trunk with 2 or 3 pairs of mortises cut in to fit the rails.
