At Ambassador Fence, we highly recommend using quality cedar for your wooden fence installation. Cedar is a strong wood that is not prone to warping or sagging like other types of wood. Cedar displays a beautiful, natural red hue and is well known for its pleasant aromatic smell. Buyer beware—it is important to ask what type of cedar your fence company is using! Not all cedar is created equally. When comparing wooden fence install quotes from various fence companies, make sure you are comparing apples to apples to make the best decision for your home in the long run.
Board on Board Privacy Wood Fence
A wooden privacy fence is designed to block the view from the inside and the outside of the wooden fence. This is a great option for anyone who wishes to keep their yard private from outside views. Wood privacy fencing is a very secure and private option for any home with a pool or large backyard living space.
A solid wood privacy fence will not only block the wind, it can also provide shade to parts of your yard which can have an impact on plants and landscaping. Wooden privacy fence panels vary in height. The most common are 6’ and 8’ fence styles. Privacy fence panels also shield people on the inside from viewing any unpleasant outside views. Plus, it can help reduce any unwanted sounds or road noise that many surround your space.
One of the most popular options in the Dallas area in wood fencing styles is the cedar board on board wooden privacy fence. This style of wood privacy fencing is basically wooden cedar boards or pickets, spaced apart vertically with another board overlapping to fill in any space, creating no gaps between the pickets. This creates a solid screen that completely obstructs the view. The fence pickets are the most visible part of a wooden privacy fence. Many customers choose to add wooden trim, known as top cap and/or corbels along the top of the cedar fence to create a more decorative look.
Wooden privacy fencing needs annual inspection and regular re-painting or staining in order to maintain its appearance.
Side By Side Wood Fence
A side-by-side cedar wood fence is a very common, affordable wooden fence option. This wood fence style is very traditional and is a natural fit for most home designs. The choice of fence style is driven by function.
The side-by-side wooden fence is a basic-level option that will allow for privacy and security. This type of fence installation uses individual boards or pickets spaced edge to edge to create a semi-transparent screen. Cedar fence pickets are found in a variety of sizes ranging from 4’ to 8’ tall. Many customers choose to add wooden trim along the top of the wooden fence to create a more decorative fence for their property.
This wood fence design needs annual inspection. If a wood fence picket is broken or damaged, we recommend replacing it promptly to maintain the appearance of the fence. It is also recommended for the wooden fence to be re-painted or stained regularly to extend the lifespan of the fence. This gives the fence panels protection against normal wear and tear as well as wood rot. Wood fencing absorbs the stain deep into the wood and will fade over time.
Horizontal Wooden Fence
The horizontal fence is quickly gaining popularity in our area. This wood fence style is also known as the “good neighbor fence” because it looks good on both sides. The seamless, uninterrupted lines of a wooden horizontal fence carry the eye into the distance, making the outdoor area appear larger and longer.
The horizontal fence can be constructed a few different ways. Similar to the board-on-board privacy fence, a horizontal privacy fence can block the views from both the outside and the inside. This style of wood privacy fencing is basically wooden cedar boards or pickets, spaced apart horizontally with another board overlapping to fill in any space, creating no gaps between the pickets. This creates a solid screen that completely obstructs the view.
Another way to construct a horizontal fence is by using individual boards or pickets spaced edge to edge or spaced further apart to create a semi-transparent screen. Horizontal fencing can vary in height from 4’ to 8’ tall, depending on need. It is also a great option when your property sits on a slope and the fence must follow the grade. We can use this to our advantage by highlighting the slopes in a unique way.
Adding a horizontal fence to your property is sure to make a statement. The horizontal fence has become the picket fence to the modern era. Its linear, modern design is guaranteed to add elegance and functionality to your space.
Budget Wood Fences
A inexpensive fence option is available by considering lower cost materials. While we strongly recommend using cedar fence pickets for their strength and lifespan, we understand customers want options. Treated pine is the most affordable and durable wood picket option. These wooden fence pickets are called “common pickets” or “dog eared” pickets. They can be used in fence installation to create a cheap privacy fence or a common side by side fence.
