Fence rail

A split rail fence has rails that are constructed out of lumber pieces or logs that have been split in half lengthwise. These pieces are then stacked on top of each other to create a fence. The most common type of rail is the round rail, but there are also square, rectangular, and even diamond-shaped rails.
