A Privacy Wood Fence is a great addition to the landscape, providing privacy as well as security. Wood fences are perfect for adding another element to your yard: beauty.

From rustic split rails to crisp white pickets, wood fencing is endlessly versatile. No other fencing material is as adaptable or popular as wood.

A Privacy Wood Fence for Every Need

The versatility of wood fencing may make your choice of fence type difficult. Deciding on the main function of your fence will make your choice easier. The main reasons for having a fence are privacy, security and beautification. Board height, spacing and decorative elements are all details to consider when picking a fence that’s right for your needs.

Close board wood fences feature posts and horizontal rails with vertical boards placed edge-to edge. Close board fences offer the ultimate in privacy and security. Close board fences are also very effective as a windbreak.

Board on board fences follow the basic construction style of close board fences. In a board on board fence, however, the vertical elements alternate on both sides of the rails. These alternating pieces allow light and air to pass through without sacrificing privacy.

Usually built less than four feet high, picket fences are a classic decorative fence. What they lack in privacy and security, picket fences make up for in charm and visual style.

Popular on farms and country properties, estate rail wood fences feature three or four milled horizontal rails attached to heavy wooden posts. For a more sophisticated look, estate rail fences may use stone or brick columns in place of wood.

Rough-hewn elements give split rail fences their rustic appearance. Like estate rail fences, split rail fences are perfect for large, rural properties.

Know Your Privacy Wood Fence

Pine is a popular choice in the Midwest and Southeast. Although a soft wood, pine is plentiful in these areas of the country and makes an economical choice. Pressure treated pine better able to resist insects and decay.

Cedar is naturally resistant to insects and decay, making it a popular fencing choice. When using cedar for fence posts, set them directly in the ground. Concrete will inhibit drainage and shorten the life of your posts.

Redwood is a popular fencing option in the west, but has become increasing expensive. Redwood will last a long time with proper maintenance.
