Orlando Wood Fence Installation Style
Board on Board Wood Fence
Board on Board Wood Fence
This is a type of privacy fence made by attaching every other picket to the opposite side of the rail. The overlapping design results in a sturdy, solid fence that’s just as attractive from either side, though the additional material required adds to the cost.
With no gaps or spacing between pickets, board-on-board fencing is great for those seeking maximum privacy. The pickets can be oriented vertically or horizontally.
Pros:
Sturdy construction
Total privacy
Overlap won’t allow cracks if wood shrinks
Attractive design
Cons:
Increased cost due to additional material
Horizontal Wood Fence
Horizontal Wood Fence
Horizontal fences continue to grow in popularity because they are one of the only fencing options that offers a truly modern and contemporary look.
The height and length of the planks used can bring a further custom look to your backyard, while of course providing the privacy and practicality you would expect.
Like other variations of wood fences, horizontal fences can also be further customized with different shades of wood stains.
If you’re going for the modern look, we recommend choosing a material in a lighter tone, this way you can use the natural wood color to your advantage.
Shadowbox Wood Fence
Shadowbox Wood Fence
This fence uses alternating pickets on both sides with a gap in between, creating a distinctive “shadow” effect. These gaps make it look solid when viewed head-on. But from an angle, you can see through to the other side.
Pros:
Visually interesting
Your neighbor doesn’t see the less attractive side
Alternating pickets spread weight evenly for high durability
Cons:
Gaps allow neighbors or pedestrians to see inside
Challenging to install correctly
Post and Rail Wood Fence
Post and Rail Wood Fence
Post-and-rail fences feature long, smooth-cut rectangular timber rails suspended between large posts. These fences are not as rough and rustic-looking as split-rail fences.
This style works for farms and large properties that need to contain livestock or just want to establish clear property lines. Made of less fencing material than a tightly packed picket fence, post-and-rail fencing is relatively easy to install and repair.
Pros:
Easy to repair
Provides open views
Great for securing livestock
Cons:
Not much of a guard against wind
Not effective for keeping out intruders
