Fencing on the Carden Plain east of Lake Simcoe
The Carden Plain with little or no soil over limestone bedrock is very different from most of Ontario and features plants and wildlife more common to Canada's western provinces. This type of fencing is seen there in many places.

Good morning, EG
I like this style of fencing..Pretty shot with the trees in the background.. Have a happy Thursday!
These fences are so rustic and classic which adds to their beauty!
Lovely shot of the split rail fence EG.
I agree with Eileen. The treeline is a great background for the fence.
Great bird habitat!
very Canadian those shots.
This is my very favourite sort of fence!! Such a pity it is so totally inappropriate for our home here in England! Doesn't matter, as I enjoyed looking at your beautiful photo!!! xx
Well framed fence.
Great one for the meme.
I like this style of fencing too!
I like this style of fencing too!
I like the trees behind the fence in the distance as much as the fence. we don't have trees like that here or fences either.
This type of fence is always appealing. It looks so lonely there...
It's interesting to see the slanted support posts at the connections in this fence. I love a cedar rail fence. If the landscape had little soil what was the land used for? Do you know? Have a great day.
Hi Pamela,
The land is used for ranching - horses and cattle.
What a great fence. Is this style still built? Most I've seen seem very old.

it is a neat solution to hard ground, but i'd hate to try to maintain that kind of fence! thanks, tina!
That's quite a sight EG! Looks like quite a plantation in the background.
It is a very western style of fencing. Very dry looking there.

Practical style for where digging fence posts is a pain. And looks so wonderful!

That's a great shot of a wonderful fence! Don't see many of those anymore.
Those old fences always appeal to me- very rural.
An original and spectacular fence!
new follower here. Awesome fence photo!
Cool old-timey fence!
Love this fence, EG!
It does look like a wild and beautiful place. I imagine it very quiet where you can only hear the wind and the birds. Is it like that?
Very unique style of fencing and I like it, Tina. The construction looks sturdy enough for the intended application, especially with those slanted support poles/beams.
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
Oh, yes! I do love this fence!! It looks like all of those old, old ones from years ago! What a great capture for the day!!
I've always liked this sort of fencing, and had it myself when we lived in the country. We planted pink climbing roses and honeysuckle, and in the summer -when they twined around and through the fence- it was gorgeous.
*sigh*
It makes for a great photo!
Yes, that split rail is beautiful! It looks like in the background it could be a tree farm?
I don't know how they do this fencing but it's pretty eye catching for sure.
What a pretty scene. That type of fence always reminds me of Pioneers for some reason. Very rustic.
We have a lot of fences like this here. But the difference is, ours do not have these supports that run diagonally from the ground to the top.
How nice to have such a different area close by that you can easily visit! Love the scene and the split rail fence is awesome! I imagine with that kind of terrain one couldn't sink fence posts easily.
That fence is functional as well as decorative.I like it.
It looks like it has seen some harsh winters.
Nice shot! We see split rail fences around here now and then. I always like to sit and try to figure out how they are put together.
Nice fence, beautiful, such a place for it.
That looks so American West to me! Love it!
I like the rustic look too.
My young married son passes them on his route
in country. So being a city guy.
He enjoys the country big time.
Barns and fences he is a looker now and a taker with his phone.
another wonderful fence style
When I was a youngster living on ranchland in the Rockies...I was always told this was a snow fence...dunno why? And, I never asked. lol
Oh, I just love seeing split rail fences. Beautiful shot!
Lovely capture. Looks like an interesting part of the countryside!
Interesting how they are constructed.
Beautiful fence.
I love those fences. You see them all over the American west also.
Interesting post. thanks

I just returned from a visit to the Cariboo region of BC and I saw many fences similar to the one in your picture.
It's an interesting fence, I don't see fences like that in this area. It's a beautiful image!!
This could pass for many areas I've see in the U.S. west, too...including some of the region around where I now live. Naturally, I like the look of it!
It's quite rustic. I like it!
Oddly enough, I just posted on Flickr the remains of one of these fences that is lost in the woods. Somehow, I missed posting it here.
Love the look of the rail fence, but I can't imagine they would withstand much in the way of livestock.
I love that type of fence --
