Privacy Fences
Best for: Backyards, pools, properties requiring complete seclusion
Privacy fences feature solid panels with no gaps, providing 100% visual screening and noise reduction. Available in 6ft and 8ft heights, they're perfect for creating a private outdoor oasis where you can relax without prying eyes.
Popular with: Families with children, pool owners, homeowners seeking maximum privacy and security
Picket Fences
Best for: Front yards, gardens, decorative property borders
Classic picket fences add timeless charm and enhance curb appeal dramatically. With evenly spaced pickets and various heights (3-5ft), they define boundaries beautifully while maintaining an open, welcoming neighborhood feel.
Popular with: Traditional home styles, garden enthusiasts, homeowners prioritizing curb appeal and resale value
Ranch Rail Fences
Best for: Large properties, acreage, farms, rural estates
Ranch rail fences use horizontal rails to elegantly define property boundaries without obstructing scenic views. Available in 2, 3, or 4-rail configurations up to 500+ linear feet, they're ideal for expansive properties and equestrian facilities.
Popular with: Horse owners, large lot homeowners, rural properties, farms requiring livestock containment
Semi-Privacy Fences
Best for: Side yards, patios, areas needing airflow and partial screening
Semi-privacy fences perfectly balance privacy with airflow using shadowbox or spaced picket designs. They provide substantial visual screening (70-80%) while allowing light penetration and air circulation, preventing the "closed-in" feeling.
