Complete the job
With the fence rails nailed, a nice
finish is to run a 4-foot vertical board at each post. This
will both cover the board cuts and add another set of nails to help
secure the rails.
To avoid splinters, use a hand
shaper or very coarse sandpaper over the rails.
Finish the wood with paint or
stain. This can be sprayed or applied with a roller.
Rather than oil- or water-based you might want to try a special
economical acrylic polymer coating such "FenceCoat."
Avoid inexpensive asphalt coatings.
