Cedar fencing is popular for its natural beauty, durability, and resistance to decay and insect infestation. There are several common styles of wood cedar fencing, each with its own advantages. Here are a few examples:
- Solid Board Fence: This style consists of solid boards attached to horizontal rails. It provides excellent privacy and security as it completely blocks the view from the outside. Solid board fences are sturdy and can withstand strong winds, making them suitable for areas with harsh weather conditions.
Advantages: Privacy, security, durability.
- Cedar Fence with Gaps: This style of fence is constructed with space in between each board. The space can vary depending on the customer’s goals and desired privacy, commonly between ⅝” to 2” apart. This design allows for semi-privacy while still allowing light to shine through the fence. The gaps between the boards create an attractive pattern that adds visual interest to the fence. It offers a more open and inviting look compared to solid board fences, which can appear more closed off.
Advantages: Aesthetically pleasing, friendly fence, allows light.
- Lattice Top Fence: Lattice top fences combine the privacy of solid board fences with decorative lattice panels at the top. The lattice allows airflow and adds a touch of elegance to the fence design. This style is commonly used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a property.
Advantages: Privacy, decorative element, airflow.
- Hogwire Style Fence: Hogwire fences are made of strong galvanized steel panels encased in a wood cedar frame. Hogwire fences offer good visibility, allowing you to see through the fence and have a clear view of the surrounding area. This can be advantageous for maintaining an open feel or for security purposes, as it provides visibility both inside and outside the fenced area. The open design also allows for better light, making it ideal near gardening areas where plants require light for growth.
Advantages: Visibility, open feel, good for garden areas.
