Spring is officially here in the MN North Metro, and the Arrow Fence Co. crews are wasting no time getting back into the dirt! We recently wrapped up a beautiful 2-rail cedar split rail fence installation for a homeowner in Columbus, Minnesota.
This project is a perfect example of how the right fence can enhance a rural property while maintaining that open, rustic feel that makes Anoka County so special.
Why Split Rail is the Perfect Choice for Columbus Estates
Located just northeast of Forest Lake, Columbus is known for its beautiful acreages, wetlands, and open spaces. A heavy privacy fence isn’t always the right fit for these larger properties. The 2-rail cedar split rail offers a specific set of benefits for our local landscape:
-
Natural Aesthetic Integration: Cedar split rail fencing offers a “pioneer” look that blends seamlessly with the natural Minnesota landscape. It defines property boundaries without obstructing the beautiful views of the local woods or prairie land.
-
Durable Western Red Cedar: We use high-quality cedar because it is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and those pesky Minnesota insects. Especially in the damp spring soil of the North Metro, cedar stands the test of time much better than inferior softwoods.
-
Cost-Effective Boundary Marking: For homeowners with larger lots in Columbus or nearby Ham Lake and East Bethel, split rail is a budget-friendly way to secure a perimeter while maintaining an airy, unobstructed view.
Pro Tip for Pet Owners: Love the look of split rail but need to keep a small dog in the yard? We can easily add a discreet black vinyl-coated wire mesh to the interior of the rails. It stays nearly invisible from the road but provides 100% security for your furry friends.
The Arrow Fence Difference: Local Expertise
Installing a fence in Columbus requires an understanding of local soil conditions—especially during the spring thaw. Our second-generation installers ensure that every post is set to the proper depth to withstand the “ground-heave” that Minnesota is famous for.
We take pride in leaving every job site cleaner than we found it. Our crews treat every project with the same attention to detail they would give their own homes, ensuring that your new cedar fence is sturdy, level, and ready to age gracefully.
