TYPES OF WOOD PRIVACY FENCES
At East Side Fence, we use top quality materials throughout the building process, from the perfect cuts of wood, to the stain we use to protect the finished product.
Here are a few of the quality products we use.
Privacy Fencing
Shadow Box Privacy Fence
Notice how the horizontal rails (inside the fence) are laid flat for greater spacing, this is typically either for drainage purposes or a desire to have greater visibility through the fence.
2 Horizontal Rail Wood Privacy Fence
2 horizontal rails, adding a third rail is prudent when there are strong wind loads and / or other forces acting upon it
PT Pine Privacy Fence
At the behest of the client, we installed this PT Pine fence, which we painted. It came out great. We do recommend a 3rd horizontal rail if PT Pine is the desired picket species. This helps secure the fence against warping that happens after the treatment dries out.
Cedar Wood Privacy Fence, ‘Dog Eared’ Pickets
The client requested 3/4″ thick pickets which is an upgrade from the standard 5/8″

Wood Privacy Fence with Metal Posts
Make sure your fencing installer includes the caps! I see a lot of posts with no caps around town!

The tones in cedar can vary greatly, this batch shows off the beautiful red patina.

‘Sunrise’ Design Element
I call this a sunrise, perhaps crown is a better descriptor

Tree Boxout
If there’s a tree in the line, this is the best solution.

Horizontal Slat Fencing
Horizontal Wood Fence, Thin Slats
This fence came out great and serves as a nice delineator for their front yard. This allows the client’s dog to roam around as well. We increased the height to 5 feet at the sections next to his house to add a bit more privacy when sitting on the front porch.
Horizontal Fencing, Wide Slats
1/2″ spacing which is recommended, we also recommend 1/4″ spacing. Anything greater than a 1/2″ might feel too open.

We love the design here that the client wanted. This was installed on 4×4 PT Pine pickets spaced every 8-ft with alternating 16-ft wide Western Red Cedar slats, 5.5″ tall.

Details are important.
If you point out desired details, we will guarantee to install them how you wanted. We work to give you a customized fence at standard prices.
5/4 Lumber
This is typically used for decking but can be utilized for an extra sturdy fence.

Stained Horizontal Fence with Black Posts
Since there was no demolition, the first step was installing the posts

Again, we love this fence. It was the client’s idea to switch out the posts so instead of wood we installed 3″ x 3″ Ornamental Iron posts and 2×2 battens with self tapping screws on each side to fasten the slats onto. If you look closely you can see a slight slope of the ground to the left. Also in back is a 6-ft tall Horizontal Fence with 1/4″ gap.
