Questions

Will split rail keep my dog in?

Only with wire mesh, which is an add-on in the quote tool. Without it, split rail marks the line but will not hold a dog.

How long do the rails last?

Cedar rails last 15 to 20 years untreated, and pressure-treated rails about the same. A single rail can be replaced on its own.
