Wood Fencing

A few of the many reasons for building a fence are security, noise reduction and setting boundaries. A well-designed and installed fence is a nice, stylish addition to your home landscape. Wood fences allow you to combine boundaries and fashion.

Cedar wood is generally considered the best wood for fencing. It is naturally resistant to rotting and decay and therefore requires no chemical treatment, so it is environmentally friendly.

Split-rail wood fences and other wood fence designs marked by rough and rugged posts and rails have long been a favorite with Ranch-style houses and Landscape designs with a Southwestern theme.

Picket-style fencing are a natural fit for Cottage-style homes and Landscape designs like English cottage gardens. Additional wood fencing styles include:

• Basket weave

• Board and batten

• Diamond top

• Estate

• Lattice top

• Paddock

• Rail Rustic

• Spaced board

• Split rail

• Stockade

• Wyngate

There are many different fence panels available which may differ in the details. Basically, however, there are three major wood fence panel styles to choose from. They are shadowbox, solid, and spaced picket.

Shadowbox - The shadowbox style uses alternating panels across the back and front to give the fence the same look on both sides. This is an ideal "neighborly" fence style since a person on the other side will have a pleasant view of it as well. These fences are generally taller, usually around 6'. They have the look of a full containment fence but also allow more air circulation.

Solid -  The solid style, when used as containment fencing, allows for complete privacy. It is commonly used to surround swimming pools and between property lines. It may also be used to hide ugly areas or to hide a major road from sight. These fences are generally 4'-6' tall and use very closely-spaced pickets which may vary in style.  The styles may be a basic dog-ear style to a pointed top or more elaborate design.  Solid board fence, board on board fence, solid board convex, solid board concave.

Spaced Picket - This is best for keeping children and/or pets in a defined boundary while giving a distinctive look and aesthetic appeal. These fences are generally shorter, 4' tall or less, and don’t completely block the surrounding view.  Styles include: gothic picket, spaced picket convex, spaced picket with self latching and self closing gate, and spaced picket pool code.
