Styles & options
Privacy Fencing options we install
Wood privacy
Classic dog-ear boards at 6 feet — the most economical privacy fence.
Board-on-board
Overlapping boards for zero gaps.
Stockade
Pointed-top pickets for a traditional look.
Horizontal wood
Modern lines with tight board spacing.
Vinyl privacy
Solid panels that never need staining.
Lattice-top
Privacy panel with a decorative lattice crown.
Which privacy fence is best?
For the lowest up-front cost, a 6-foot wood privacy fence. For the least maintenance, vinyl. For no gaps as the wood ages, board-on-board. For a modern home, horizontal wood. Try each one in the Fence Design Studio to see how it looks.
Privacy for pets and kids
Solid privacy fences reduce what dogs can see, which often means less barking at passersby. Set the bottom of the fence close to grade and plan gates with secure latches.
Height and HOA limits
Six feet is the most common backyard limit; some lots allow eight. Front-yard fences are usually limited to shorter heights. We help you confirm the rules before you submit to your HOA.
Materials we install
Every project is built in one of the four fence materials we install. Each one has its own page with styles, heights and colors.
Permits, HOA rules and utilities
Under our Terms & Conditions, permits required by municipalities or counties are handled by Fences & Firepits. HOA approval is the homeowner's responsibility, and we help you prepare the details for your application. Utility locates are requested before posts are set. Private lines such as irrigation, invisible pet fences and low-voltage lighting are not marked by 811, so please tell us about them.
Backed in writing
Installations include a 2-year limited workmanship warranty covering defects in installation workmanship, such as improperly set posts or structural instability caused by installation error. Materials are covered by their manufacturers' warranties. See our Warranty page for the full terms and exclusions.
