Western red cedar, set in concrete below the frost line, rails on the level and boards tight to your line. The classic Portland fence, built to stand twenty winters.
Wood FencesSame cedar, same posts, very different characters. Here is what each style is actually for, so you pick with your eyes open.
Overlapping pickets, zero gaps.
Boards overlap so the fence stays private even as wood dries and shrinks. Looks finished from both sides, yours and the neighbor’s.
The extra lumber costs more than side-by-side. Privacy that survives dry summers is what you’re paying for.
A finished top that works.
A horizontal cap board with trim closes the picket tops, the tailored look you see in design magazines.
Not just cosmetic: the cap sheds rain off the end-grain, where pickets rot first.
Modern lines, level runs.
Boards run sideways for a clean, contemporary face that makes a yard feel wider.
Needs straighter, clearer boards and tighter post spacing, honest money for an honest look. Happiest on level ground.
The classic, done right.
Pickets set edge to edge, the most fence for the money when full privacy is the point.
Small gaps appear as boards season. If that would bother you, board-on-board is the answer.
Front yards, framed.
Knee-to-waist height with space between pickets, keeps kids and dogs in without hiding the house.
It marks the yard, it doesn’t secure it. Charm first, and it delivers.
Same face, both sides.
Pickets alternate on either side of the rail, so neither yard gets the “back” of the fence, and air moves through.
Angled sightlines peek through. Full privacy it is not, fairness it is.
