Pine // Privacy // Picket
Wood Fences around Cottondale.
Wood is the classic backyard fence, and the easiest one to shape to a yard.
Most wood fences are built from pressure-treated pine, which is treated to resist rot and termites.
The posts carry the whole fence, so each one goes in plumb and on a pulled string line.
Rails run between the posts, and the boards are fastened to the rails one at a time.
Privacy, picket, board-on-board and shadowbox are the usual styles, and custom designs are welcome.
Gates are built from the same boards, so the whole run reads as one piece.

Rails and boards
Rails are fastened to the posts, then the boards go on one at a time with even spacing.

Representative photoKnow the options
Before you pick a style.
Three wood styles cover most backyards, and the difference shows up a year later.
Pine boards go up wet and shrink as they dry, so a tight fence can open small gaps.
A solid fence also catches wind like a sail, which matters in storm season.
Tell us what the fence is for and we will tell you straight which style fits.
- Stockade
- Boards side by side. Small gaps can open as the pine dries.
- Board-on-board
- Boards overlap, so there are no gaps even after the wood shrinks.
- Shadowbox
- Boards alternate on both sides. It looks finished from either yard.
Worth knowingNew pressure-treated pine is wet. Let it dry out before you stain or seal it, so the finish soaks in.
How it goes
Four steps, one straight line.

Questions
About wood fences.
How tall can my backyard fence be?
Six feet is the usual backyard privacy height.
The limit for your lot is set by your city or county, and by your HOA if you have one, so check both before you order.
Which side of the fence faces the neighbor?
Many places ask for the finished side to face out, toward the street and the neighbors.
A shadowbox fence looks the same from both yards, which settles the question.
How do I make a wood fence last?
Keep the boards off the soil, seal or stain the wood once it has dried, and fix a loose board or a leaning post early.
Small repairs keep a fence standing.
Do you repair wood fences too?
Yes.
Leaning sections, broken boards and sagging gates can often be fixed without replacing the whole fence.
