Overview
Fences & Firepits installs wood split rail fences for Charlotte-area properties that want an open, classic boundary. Adding welded wire to a split rail fence turns it into an attractive pet fence — like the 400-linear-foot, 3-rail split rail fence with welded wire and two arched gates we completed in Ballantyne.

Styles & options
Split Rail Fencing options we install
3-rail split rail
Three rails between posts for a fuller look and better containment.
Split rail with welded wire
Wire mesh fastened to the inside of the rails to keep pets in while keeping the open look.
Arched gates
Custom arched gates that match the rail style.
Great for large lots
Split rail defines big yards, wooded lots and property lines without closing in the view, and it costs less per foot than a full privacy fence in most cases.
Materials we install
Every project is built in one of the four fence materials we install. Each one has its own page with styles, heights and colors.
Permits, HOA rules and utilities
Under our Terms & Conditions, permits required by municipalities or counties are handled by Fences & Firepits. HOA approval is the homeowner's responsibility, and we help you prepare the details for your application. Utility locates are requested before posts are set. Private lines such as irrigation, invisible pet fences and low-voltage lighting are not marked by 811, so please tell us about them.
Backed in writing
Installations include a 2-year limited workmanship warranty covering defects in installation workmanship, such as improperly set posts or structural instability caused by installation error. Materials are covered by their manufacturers' warranties. See our Warranty page for the full terms and exclusions.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Still have a question?
Talk with Ron directly. He can answer questions about materials, HOA rules and your property.
CALL (980) 339-2182Will split rail keep my dog in?
On its own, usually not. With welded wire attached, it can contain most dogs that are not determined jumpers or diggers.
Are estimates free?
Yes. We visit the property, measure and provide a written estimate at no cost.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Charlotte and surrounding communities in Mecklenburg, Union and Cabarrus counties, including Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Waxhaw, Weddington, Marvin, Wesley Chapel, Indian Trail, Stallings, Monroe, Concord, Harrisburg, Kannapolis and Mount Pleasant.
Who is responsible for property lines?
The property owner is responsible for identifying property lines. A survey is the most reliable way to confirm them. Our planner and measurements are approximate and do not establish legal boundaries.
