Why choose wood
-
Timeless look: Works with traditional and modern façades.
-
Custom fit: Tune height, orientation, spacing, and accents for privacy/airflow/style.
-
Serviceable: Replace individual boards/rails.
-
Quieter: Solid/semi-solid layouts dampen noise.
Styles
-
Picket: Frontages; open sightlines.
-
Board-on-board (shadowbox): Airflow + angled screening.
-
Solid privacy (vertical/horizontal): Patios, sides, service areas.
-
Lattice/top accents: Lighter top line.
-
Post-and-rail: Rustic, large borders.
Materials & hardware
-
Wood: Cedar/redwood (decay resistant); treated pine (budget/ground contact); hardwoods (impact).
-
Fasteners: Exterior screws or ring-shank nails; stainless/coated.
-
Posts: Depth/diameter to height & wind; add caps and ground separation.
Planning
-
Purpose: Privacy, containment, boundary, pool code.
-
Layout: Lines, utilities, setbacks, drainage, slope.
-
Heights: Lower front, taller sides/rear.
-
Gates: Count/width, swing or slide, self-closing/latching if required.
-
Finish: Oil, semi-transparent stain, or solid color to match maintenance cycle.
Install (at a glance)
-
Layout & utility locates
-
Set corner/end posts; cure
-
Install rails; verify line/level
-
Attach boards; seal cut ends
-
Hang/align gates; set latch/closer
-
Final checks: alignment, caps, torque, clean site
Finish & maintenance
-
Coat all sides (incl. cut ends/bottoms).
-
Rinse seasonally; recoat per product (stains ~2–4 yrs; solids longer).
-
Keep vegetation off; replace damaged boards; tighten after storms; kickboards/gravel at grade.
Cost & longevity
-
Compare like-for-like specs (height, footage, species/grade, post depth, rails, board thickness/orientation, gate sizes, finish, haul-away).
-
Cap posts/board tops; use stainless/compatible fasteners on tannin-rich woods.
FAQs
-
Cracking/movement? Some checking is natural; finishes, sealed ends, correct fasteners reduce it.
-
Add privacy later? Yes—screens, trellises, or retrofit boards (verify rail/wind capacity).
-
Horizontal vs. vertical? Horizontal = modern, needs stiffer framing/closer fasteners; vertical = classic, sheds water better.
