Variety is the spice of life and that goes for fences too. Over the centuries, different styles of wood fences have come in and out of fashion, but these days it seems like just about anything goes.
A well-built and well-designed privacy wood fence can not only keep your children and pets safe, it can also offer some much needed privacy from the eyes of prying neighbours. Of course, the right wooden fence will also offer you more security, offering another barrier between would-be thieves and your home.
Consider your needs and the style of your home and then let your imagination (or the internet) be your guide.
Here are five of the most common wood fence styles:
Perhaps the most common type of fence in backyards across North America, the Lock Board fence is coveted for its practicality. Its simplistic design makes it a great option for all types of homes and property challenges and with its tightly-spaced boards, this wood or corrugated metal fence also offers great privacy and protection for pets and children.
This fencing is a great option as it is both practical and moderately decorative. While the boards can be placed tightly together to help maintain privacy, the gaps in the fence allow breeze to pass through, which you may find helpful in the hot summer months.
One of the most iconic of all wood fences, the picket fence typically conjures images of idyllic homes and the happy families that live in them. But despite their charming good looks, picket fences are also known to be practical, marking your property and keeping children and small pets in (or out of) your yard.
A fence made entirely of wooden lattice may not offer the most privacy, but they are classic and beautiful to look at. They also provide a great backdrop for plants and climbing vines. When lattice is added to the top of a privacy fence, you can achieve a fence that has simple design detail along with privacy and security.
While not commonly used in residential areas, post and rail fences are popular for those with rural properties. Because they are simplistic in design and use minimal material per square foot, post and rail fences allow large areas to be properly fenced, helping to protect horses, cattle, and other livestock.
