Privacy Fence TIP

Installing a fence is a efficient use of property line because most fence styles only need 8-12 inches of width.

In contrast to say a cedar hedge which in the beginning needs only 2 feet or so … but later after 10-15 years requires 3-5 feet + at the base consuming larger width than anticipated!

Pine Board Wood Fence

Solid Wood Fence acts as a solid no see through Privacy Fence by using 1″ thick 12 inch wide rough sawn pine boards.

Fence was given some unique design by increasing the height of every other board to create a castle effect. Reduced fence height when coming to meet a low metal farm gate.

Cedar Post Fence

Row of cedar tree wood posts mounted edge to edge.

These cedar tree posts have moss caps. This is because the open end grain of the cedar wood retains moisture thus allowing moss to grow.

Modern lumber fence manufacturer’s and building supply yards supply a huge selection of post caps which helps prevent post rot.

Wood Rail Fence Design

This wood fence is a basic style with 2 horizontal rails and does the job of preventing pier walkers from falling over the edge.  What’s good about the simple design is that the 4 x4 posts are rotated with the edge facing up leaving no flat areas for water to sit and rot the wood. Angled sides shed water quickly off the wood contributing to longer life for this rail fence!Photo at Manly Beach AU
