Fence Built for Privacy & Strength

What is Modified Full Panel Fence?

A modified full panel fence is one of the most popular wood fence styles, offering enhanced privacy, durability, and a clean, picture frame design. Built with sturdy cedar panels and a raised bottom rail, it avoids ground contact that causes old fences to rot or sag.  

This style is HOA-friendly, secure, and aesthetically pleasing, making it a great choice for homeowners who want both beauty and function. At Rarebears Fencing, our team delivers quality work and a smooth installation process so your property gets a fence that lasts and looks amazing.

Add-On Services for Your Modified Full Panel Fence

A modified full panel fence is a strong and stylish investment, but like any wood fence, it benefits from the right care and custom touches. At Rarebears Fencing, we don’t just install fences—we also provide add-on services that protect, enhance, and extend the life of your fence. This means you get more value out of your installation while enjoying peace of mind that your property is secure and beautiful for years to come.

Protect Your Fence with Sealing & Staining

Wood fences are exposed to sun, rain, and snow. Without protection, even the best cedar can fade or weaken over time. That’s why many homeowners choose:

  • Professional Staining: Keep the rich, natural color of your cedar fence.
  • Sealing Treatments: Add a protective layer against rot, moisture, and UV damage.
  • Upgrades: Ask about re-staining or color-matching options to refresh your old fence.

Gate Installation & Custom Features

A fence isn’t complete without a sturdy, well-designed gate. We build custom cedar gates that match your modified full panel fence, ensuring smooth operation and added curb appeal. Options include:

  • Walk gates for easy access
  • Driveway gates for added security
  • Decorative upgrades to fit your style

Repairs, Replacements & Inspections

Even the strongest fences need care over time. Our team offers:

  • Fence Repairs: Replace damaged boards, rails, or post caps.
  • Inspections: Catch small issues before they become big problems.
  • Full Replacement & Disposal: We’ll safely remove your old fence and install a new one without the hassle.

FAQs About Modified Full Panel Fences

common fencing questions

Is it cheaper to buy fence panels or build them?

Plus icon

Pre-made fence panels may seem cheaper upfront, but building a fence on-site with quality cedar materials usually delivers better durability and fit. With a modified full panel fence, custom installation ensures stronger framing, proper alignment, and longer lifespan, saving money on future repairs.

What color fence disappears the most?

Plus icon

Neutral tones like gray, brown, or natural cedar stains tend to blend into landscapes and “disappear” visually. Many homeowners stain their modified full panel fence in warm cedar or weathered gray to create an aesthetically pleasing backdrop that highlights plants, patios, and yard features.

Is a modified full panel fence better than board-on-board fencing?

Plus icon

Both provide excellent privacy, but a modified full panel fence is often preferred for its raised bottom rail, which prevents ground contact and rot. Board-on-board fences use overlapping boards for coverage but cost more and may require extra maintenance. Modified full panel fences offer enhanced privacy, durability, and a clean picture frame style at a better value.

How much does a modified full panel fence cost per foot?

Plus icon

On average, a modified full panel fence costs $30 to $55 per linear foot, depending on cedar grade, height (3 ft to 8 ft), and package selection. Rarebears Fencing provides free quotes tailored to your yard, slope, and chosen finish.

What are the benefits of choosing a modified full panel fence for privacy?

Plus icon

A modified full panel fence delivers enhanced privacy with solid cedar boards that eliminate gaps. The raised bottom rail adds durability, while the picture frame style creates a good neighbor design that looks attractive from both sides. It’s one of the most popular wood fence styles for homeowners seeking security and curb appeal.

What maintenance does a modified full panel fence need?

Plus icon

Cedar fences last longest when maintained with regular sealing or staining every 2–3 years. Homeowners should also inspect rails, posts, and panel caps for wear, especially after heavy snow or rain. Routine care prevents rot, keeps the wood color rich, and extends the fence’s lifespan.

Can a modified full panel fence be installed on a slope?

Plus icon

Yes. Modified full panel fences adapt well to sloped yards. With custom installation, the raised bottom frame ensures panels stay level and secure without large gaps. This makes them a sturdy, aesthetically pleasing choice for uneven ground.
