Contact Doug Kline at Battlefield Terrain Concepts (www.battlefieldterrain.com); he sells some beautiful 15mm wooden snake fence kits. I don't know if he still carries Musket Miniatures 5-rail metal fences, but those are the models I prefer for traditional post-and-rail fences. In my collection, I also have a lot of older 3-rail metal fences from Stone Mountain. Also, Randy Miller of Acme Terrain sells finished and flocked 10-15mm snake rail fences made from resin, as well as unfinished. |

BTC sells kits to make yourself that are first rate. I think there are the best on the market right now. Also Paper terrain makes them in 15mm as well.

You also have the option of making them. Snake fencing is very cheap to build and extremely simple. All I do is buy a box of round tooth picks and cut off the pointed end. I then stack them using white glue or tacky glue. I'll usually work on about 10 feet at a time(20 bases). For the actual base I use the thin plastic you get from for sale signs. I then spray paint the whole thing with a flat brown, dry brush the fence with a lighter shade and then put dirt and static grass on the bass. I can usually get about 10' done in 1-2 hours so the time spent is well worth the money saved. Overall I think I paid about $4-6 for all my ACW fencing and I have about 25-30 feet of it and still have enough extra stuff when I'm in the mood to make more. |

I use flat toothpicks myself but depends on the personal taste. Cheers, The Bandit |

Or you can get those balsa or basswood rectangular strips (1/16 or 1/32 width?) you can find at hobby lobby. |
