A horizontal wood fence uses boards laid horizontally, end to end in a clean row, rather than vertical pickets. The sleek, modern aesthetic pairs well with many architectural styles and makes small yards feel wider.
Built with cedar or redwood wood planks, set on sturdy posts with proper post holes and concrete footings, it delivers privacy and structural integrity. Choose tight spacing for a horizontal privacy fence or slight gaps for openness and visibility along the fence line and outdoor space.

Horizontal wood fencing blends beauty and strength. Long, clean lines match contemporary architectural styles and boost curb appeal. With cedar or redwood boards, correctly spaced posts, deep post holes, and concrete footings, your fence stays level on slopes and stands up to wind. Choose full privacy or airflow gaps to fit your yard and lifestyle.

Start with how you live outdoors. A horizontal privacy fence near patios and seating areas blocks views while keeping a sleek, modern aesthetic. Along a street or neighbor side yard, tighter spacing or overlapping boards boosts privacy; near gardens, slight gaps protect plants and airflow.
We verify your fence line, setbacks, and property markers before anything is built. Our team handles careful planning, coordinates utilities, and aligns height with local code/HOA so your design is both beautiful and compliant.
Placement tips
On slope or uneven ground, we step or rack the fence to stay level. Posts are set in deep post holes with concrete for structural integrity against wind, sag, and warping. Cedar or redwood boards provide natural durability and resist rot.
Why placement matters
In a horizontal wood fence, board spacing controls what you see and what stays private. Tight rows create a true horizontal privacy fence. Slight gaps add airflow and openness while keeping a sleek, modern look across your fence line.
Benefits at a glance
Wide boards read bold and contemporary; narrow boards feel refined and minimize movement. We’ll match width and spacing to your architectural styles, yard size, and desired visibility.
Pro tips
Performance matters as much as looks. We set posts in deep post holes with concrete, use proper rails and fasteners, and specify cedar or redwood boards for natural durability and rot resistance.

Yes. Tight board spacing or overlapping rows create a true horizontal privacy fence with minimal visibility. For airflow and light, choose small gaps while keeping sleek, modern lines.
Both are excellent. Cedar is widely available, cost-effective, and naturally rot-resistant. Redwood offers richer color and stability. Either delivers durability when posts are set in concrete and sealed with stain.
Wide boards give bold, modern lines; narrow boards offer finer control and reduce visual warping. Tight spacing maximizes privacy; small gaps increase openness and visibility along the fence line.
Not when engineered correctly. We set posts in deep post holes with concrete, use strong framing and quality fasteners, and specify cedar/redwood. This boosts structural integrity and resists sag, warping, and wind.
Yes. We step or rack the fence to keep rows clean and level on a slope, maintaining a consistent top line and modern aesthetic while protecting structural strength.
Absolutely. We build gates that match your boards, spacing, and height. Optional aluminum frames add strength, reduce sag, and keep the sleek, contemporary look.
Clean annually and re-stain every 2–4 years depending on sun and wind exposure. This protects color, prevents rot, and keeps the finish looking beautiful and durable.
Pricing varies by length, height, material (cedar/redwood), gates, and finish. You’re paying for modern curb appeal and longevity. Request a clear, itemized quote after a quick site review.
