Cedar Fence Types
After you decide on your fence material, now its time to decide on the style. Cedar fence comes in a few different styles that are "off the shelf", but we can also custom build any fence you like. Below we discuss the most popular options for those choosing cedar fence materials for their next fence installation.
Cedar Picket Fence
Western Red Cedar
Cedar picket fences are comprised of a few different components. First is the picket style. The picket style refers to the cut at the top. Traditional style is dogear. Dog ear pickets have a cut on each side with a flat top. Less common are pointed pickets like the one pictured above. The pointed picket fence gives it a more elegant appearance. For all of our fences we typically use western red cedar, which is the most common variety of cedar available today.
There is also the gothic picket style. Gothic refers to the inverted cuts on the sides and bottle top design as pictured below. Gothic style can come in slightly different variations, so if you desire an exact style please be sure to share some photos with us prior to your fence build.
Picket fences are usually in 4' and 5' varieties. 6' picket fences are uncommon, but we can custom build anything you'd like. We have also built 3' picket fences to meet the demands of some our clients in certain residential suburbs.
Cedar Privacy Fencing
Cedar privacy fencing is the most common fence installation of them all. It offers a natural look and full privacy for your backyard. The privacy refers to the board placement, with being each board nailed right next to one another.
For all fences, whether picket or privacy, there will be rails, or 2x4s placed on the top and the bottom on the interior side of the fence. This is the frame of the fence and provides stability for each panel between the posts.
With any cedar fence installation you have the following components:
- Pickets
- Posts
- Rails
Board on Board Fence
Board-on-board fence is also often referred to as shadowbox fencing. This type of fence features alternating vertical boards to provide gaps between for air to flow. Similar to full privacy, but has a different appearance than that of a privacy fence. Many HOA organizations have adopted this style of fencing as their fence of choice for their residents due to its more manicured appearance.
