Real photos, honest lifespans, and what each one is actually best at.

Cedar board-on-board privacy fence

Cedar privacy

Board-on-board or classic side-by-side, 6 or 8 feet. Naturally rot-resistant cedar that silvers beautifully or holds stain for years.

Cedar privacy fence with lattice top

Privacy with lattice top

Full privacy below, light and air up top. The lattice course adds a foot of height without the boxed-in feel.

Aluminum pool fence

Aluminum

Powder-coated black, 4 to 6 feet, flat or spear top. Pool-code compliant with self-closing, self-latching gates.

Split rail fence with wire backing

Split rail

Two- or three-rail for frontage and acreage. Add welded-wire mesh and it's dog-proof without spoiling the view.

Commercial chain link fence

Chain link

Galvanized or black vinyl-coated, residential yards to commercial lots. Decades of service, zero maintenance.
