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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Stained Horizontal Fence with Black 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.

Since there was no demolition, the first step was installing the posts

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.

If achievable due to slope, all fences should have a straight top line
