Benefits of Wooden Fence Builds

Why Build?

Wooden fences have long been a favorite choice among homeowners because of their natural look, versatility, and durability. Whether you’re enclosing your yard for privacy, security, or simply to enhance your property’s curb appeal, wooden fences offer a wide range of benefits.

  • Enhanced Privacy & Protection – Wooden fences are ideal for creating private spaces in your backyard. When built correctly, they offer complete privacy, shielding your outdoor space from neighbors, traffic, and prying eyes. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a peaceful retreat without feeling exposed. Plus, wood is solid enough to provide security by keeping unwanted visitors out.
  • Sustainability – For those looking to make eco-friendly choices, wood is a renewable resource that’s biodegradable. When sourced from sustainable forests, wooden fences not only help reduce your carbon footprint but also blend seamlessly into your natural surroundings.
  • Durability & Longevity – With proper care, wooden fences can last for decades. Cedar and redwood, in particular, are naturally resistant to decay and insects, making them great long-term investments. Our expert installation ensures your fence stands strong, no matter the weather conditions.
  • Affordability – Compared to other fencing materials like wrought iron or vinyl, wood is often a more budget-friendly option. We offer a range of wood types to suit different needs and price points, so you can get a high-quality fence without breaking the bank.

Styles & Design Options

Function / Aesthetic

When it comes to wood fences, there’s a style for every taste. Whether you prefer a traditional, classic look or something more modern, we’ve got you covered. Here are some of the most popular wooden fence designs we offer:

Privacy Fencing

This is the go-to option for homeowners seeking seclusion and peace. The tightly spaced slats of a privacy fence ensure complete coverage, blocking out the view from the street and neighboring properties. It’s a perfect choice for backyards, pools, or anywhere you want to create an intimate outdoor space.

Horizontal Wood Fence

Horizontal wood fences are gaining popularity for their modern, minimalist look. Instead of traditional vertical slats, the boards are laid horizontally, offering a contemporary aesthetic. This style is perfect for those who want a fresh, stylish upgrade to their outdoor spaces.

Shadowbox

Shadowbox fences are a blend of privacy and style. The boards are alternated on either side of the fence to allow airflow while still providing privacy. This design is great for windy areas and also offers a visually appealing look that works well in both suburban and urban neighborhoods.

Farm /Rural / Ranch

If you have a large property or live in a rural area, ranch-style fences provide a functional and open design. Typically made from wide, spaced rails, these fences work great for marking boundaries without obstructing views. They’re often seen in agricultural settings but can be adapted for residential areas with large lawns or gardens.

Posts / Height / Structure

Structure and Function Options

Total Yard Works provices a variety of common post and frame options for every function. Choose to upgrade your posts for added stability, include top caps and select how you would like the framework done. Aesthetics meets durability and function.

Choosing a post size: A 4×4 fence build uses 4-inch by 4-inch posts, offering a sturdy but cost-effective solution for residential fencing. A 6×6 fence build uses larger 6-inch by 6-inch posts, providing extra strength and stability, making it ideal for taller, heavier-duty, or more exposed fences.

Choosing the height of your Wooden FenceThe difference between 4, 5, and 6-foot tall wood fences lies in privacy, security, and aesthetic. Height choice depends on desired function and local regulations.

  • 4-foot fences offer a low barrier, ideal for decorative purposes or keeping pets in without obstructing views.
  • 5-foot fences provide more privacy and security while still being somewhat open, often used in residential backyards.
  • 6-foot fences offer maximum privacy and security, perfect for blocking views or creating a secluded space. They’re common for both residential and commercial properties needing strong barriers.

Wooden Gate Options & choices

Entrance Gates

No fence is complete without a well-designed gate. Wooden gates offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal, and we can design one that matches your fence perfectly. Here are some popular wooden gate designs we offer:

Standard Swing Gates

A traditional option for smaller entrances, the single swing gate provides a simple yet functional way to enter your property. It swings open on hinges and can be customized with a range of styles, from flat-top to arched.

Double Swing Gates

Perfect for wider driveways or larger entrances, the double swing gate is made of two panels that open in opposite directions. This type of gate adds a grand, stately look while providing easy access for vehicles and pedestrians.

Overhead Sliding Gates

For properties with limited space, a sliding gate might be the ideal choice. This gate slides along a track, saving space in tight areas. It’s often used for driveways or areas where a traditional swinging gate might not fit.

American Slide Gates

An american slide gate is a popular option for customers with large entrances or across driveways and similar access points. The gate is support by a track wheel system and closes in parallel with the adjacent fence line. They can be created in a large variety of lengths

Cantilever Gates

A cantilever gate is a type of sliding gate that operates without the need for ground contact. It is supported by a track system, offering smooth and efficient operation while providing security, durability, and easy maintenance for residential or industrial use.

Custom Gates

If you have a specific vision in mind, we can create a custom-designed wooden gate to complement your fence’s style. From decorative features like trellises and latticework to unique hardware choices, we’ll work with you to bring your ideas to life.
