Looking To Install A New Wood Fence? All About The Main Wood Fence Types

By Christian Draeger, General Manager & Co-Owner / Blog

Getting a new wood fence installed can be a tremendous difference maker for your home’s backyard. It completely transforms the space and gives you and your family that much-needed privacy to enjoy the space as you see fit. Whether creating a small peaceful paradise to enjoy, or a play space for your children and pets, fencing in your backyard can elevate your home. Before you have a new wood fence installed, it’s important to know the different styles available. 

New Wood Fence Styles:

Horizontal Wood Fences - Horizontal wood fences have become a modern must-have for homes. Styled with metal or PVC at the edges, horizontal fences are today’s “white picket fence”. They visually make your space appear to be much larger, which offers increased privacy. Its sleek appearance makes it stand out from the rest of your neighborhood. Board-On-Board Wood Fences - Our board-on-board fences are tough and made to last. Constructed with an overlapping pattern of vertical slats and horizontal juts to provide added support, board-on-board fences provided that much-needed privacy while keeping any prying eyes and unwanted guests away from your backyard. With tough storms like hurricanes pelting South Florida every year, you need a fence you can count on to withstand whatever comes your way. With a new XL Fencing board on board fence, you can rest assured that it’s going to stand tall when everything passes. Shadowbox Fences - Shadowbox fences are a popular option for homeowners across South Florida, offering a semi-private appearance. Shadowbox fences get their name from shadows they all through the slits between the offset boards. Shadowbox fences also offer an appealing touch as the pickets go on differently, hiding the bare frame from both sides. Stockade Fences - Stockades are simple and easy to install, making them one of the most affordable options for new wood fences. While one of the least expensive wood fences available, stockade fences built by XL Fencing are tough, durable, and can easily withstand Florida’s drastic weather for years to come. They’re a timeless option that can match any home style, all while giving you that much-needed privacy you’ve been looking for.  Whatever wood fence option you choose for your home, make sure to go with XL Fencing - the fence installation experts.
