Horizontal wood fence by Fences & Firepits in Charlotte

Material comparison

Horizontal vs. Vertical Wood Fencing

The short answer: Horizontal wood fences look modern and pair well with contemporary and modern-farmhouse homes; vertical privacy fences are more traditional, more economical and easier to step down slopes.

Key differences

  • Horizontal: modern lines, often more material and framing.
  • Vertical: classic look, economical, flexible on slopes.
  • Both can be built to full privacy.
