Best Places to Install a Full Panel Fence

A full panel fence is one of the most popular wood fence styles because it provides unmatched privacy and security.  

With solid cedar boards that run directly to the ground, this fence style creates a durable, classic barrier that protects and enhances your property. But where does it work best? Let’s break it down.

Backyards and Outdoor Living Spaces

If your main goal is privacy, a full panel fence is an excellent choice for the backyard. It shields your outdoor space from street views, blocks noise, and creates a safe environment for kids and pets. With Rarebears Fencing, your wood fence installation is built to last, using pressure treated posts and cedar boards designed to resist rot, decay, and insect damage.

Property Lines and Side Yards

Full panel fences work well along property boundaries. They clearly define your yard while maintaining an attractive, aesthetically pleasing look on both sides. For homeowners in neighborhoods or HOA communities, this fence style delivers the right mix of privacy and uniform design.

Busy Streets and High-Exposure Areas

Live near a busy road? A full panel fence provides a strong barrier against wind, debris, and unwanted attention. Its solid panels also help reduce noise, making your outdoor spaces feel calm and secure.

Garden or Pool Enclosures

Full panel fences are also a popular choice for enclosing gardens or pool areas. They add safety, keep the area secure, and prevent unwanted debris from entering. With proper sealing, staining, or painting, your fence will maintain its natural beauty even in high-moisture environments. 

Whether you want to protect your backyard, secure your property line, or create a private retreat, Rare Bears Fencing installs full panel fences from 3 ft to 8 ft with expert craftsmanship.

Upgrades & Extras for Long-Lasting Fences

Installing a full panel fence is a big step toward privacy, security, and enhancing your property’s look. But like any investment, the right care and upgrades can make it last longer and look better over time.  

At Rare Bears Fencing, we don’t just build fences, we provide add-on services that protect your fence, improve functionality, and keep it looking beautiful year after year.

Fence Staining & Sealing

Cedar is naturally durable, but constant exposure to moisture, dirt, and sun can lead to fading, rot, or insect damage. That’s where staining and sealing come in.

  • Fence Staining preserves cedar’s natural beauty and enhances its color.
  • Sealing adds a protective layer against water, decay, and UV damage.

With professional application, your fence maintains its strength and curb appeal for years.

Gate Installation & Custom Features

A strong fence deserves a reliable gate. We install custom wood gates that match your full panel fence perfectly, whether you need a simple walk gate, a wide driveway entrance, or decorative touches for style. Our gates are built with the same quality cedar and pressure treated posts for durability.

Fence Replacements, Repairs & Inspections

Even the best fences need occasional attention. We offer:

  • Inspections to spot early signs of rot, insect damage, or ground contact issues.
  • Fence Repairs to replace damaged boards, posts, or rails.
  • Full replacements when it’s time to upgrade your property with a new, long-lasting installation.

Why Extras Matter

Investing in these upgrades means:

  • Longer fence lifespan
  • Lower long-term maintenance costs
  • A better-looking yard that adds value to your home
