Custom Three-Rail Board Fence in Remsenburg, NY

The Installation

A familiar design, modified for a repeat client

We had previously worked with this homeowner at his Eastport home. When he moved to Remsenburg, he hired Sunrise again. During planning, we showed him a three-rail board fence we had installed in Bellport. He liked the overall look, so that project became the base model for this fence.

From there, we adjusted the construction and finish details to suit his new home and personal taste, including cedar post caps on the 6×6 posts.

More than one fence system at this Remsenburg home

Our work at this property also included an aluminum railing, aluminum fencing and a 4-foot black welded-wire fence. Those systems are separate from the board fence shown here, but together they reflect the broader scope of work the homeowner trusted us to complete at the property.
