Any homeowner can find a wood fence that complements their lifestyle and property.
Today we will go over six wood fence types and their best applications. Wood fences are forever a fan favorite because of their affordability and classic charm. Who knew that there were so many wooden fence types and so much that you could do with them? The benefit of this is that any homeowner can find a wood fence that complements their lifestyle and property. Let us know if any of these fence types interest you.
Picket Fence
Wood picket fences usually are about 3 to 4 feet high. Picket fences get their name for having widely-spaced pointed pickets at the top of them. This fence’s structure discourages climbing, and its best applications are front yards, gardens, and pool enclosures.
Post and Rail Wood Fence
This fence type is typically very affordable. It’s best for penning livestock, but you can also use it for stand-out demarcation purposes between properties. If your goal is to set up boundaries or enclose fields, this wood fence will work for you.
Lattice Fence
The lattice fence structure involves crisscrossing strips of lath (a thin, flat strip of wood), allowing air and light to pass through your yard. Commonly, homeowners use lattice fences as the perfect screen for climbing plants such as ivy. The best applications for lattice fences are gardens, decks, patios, and pools.
Louver Wooden Fences
Vertical louvers or staggered boards aid in privacy and seclusion, looking at them straight on, but airflow still comes through the side of this fence type. You can use louvers as the perfect complement to pools, decks, parking pads, and patios.
Vertical Boards
This structure involves overlapping fence boards without any gaps to ensure privacy. Consider this fence type as a windbreaker as well. You have to consider that this is ideal in the winter but not so much during winter. Ideal applications for this type of fencing include keeping out nosy neighborhoods and being a sound barrier.
Composite
A composite wood fence includes sawdust boards and a plastic blend with solid wood posts and rails. You should go for this option if you’re looking for a wood alternative that comes in colors that resemble real wood. Vinyl is an excellent alternative to wood as well.
