Here are some pictures I took of split rail fences on the Franklin battlefield. I wanted some
examples to use to when building my own fences, but I thought some of my bloggin' buddies might
be interested as well! I also included a few pictures of the Franklin, TN battlefield.

The Cotton Gin after the war. |
Same post spilt rail fence. These are fairly high and the top of the fence is mid-chest high. |
Showing some curvature in the fence line. |
One of my 28mm fences with some Union boys defending it. |
A split rail fence near Winstead Hill. These could be easily built on rocky / rough ground since they didn't require post holes. |
Some great pics, they should prove very useful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray, I'm going to take some pictures of some of the houses too soon. I want to try my hand at building some 15mm ACW houses. I'll post those pics too! Thanks man!
DeleteGreat reference material, many thanks.
