The classic backyard boundary
Wood privacy is still the most-installed fence style we build. Pressure-treated Southern yellow pine is the workhorse: cost-effective, ages to a silver-gray, and lasts 20+ years with basic care. Western red cedar is the upgrade: naturally rot and insect resistant, holds a stain beautifully, and adds curb value.
Board-on-board vs. stockade
Stockade is the tighter, cheaper build. Board-on-board overlaps every picket for full privacy from both sides and better wind performance. We recommend board-on-board on any run over 40 feet.
What we spec on every wood install
- 4x4 pressure-treated posts, set 36 inches deep in concrete
- Stainless or hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank nails
- 2x4 rails (three on 8 ft, two on 6 ft)
- Post caps to shed water off end grain
