What Is a Horizontal Cedar Fence?
A horizontal cedar fence uses boards that run horizontally between fence posts instead of vertically. This design creates a sleek modern look while still maintaining the durability and natural appearance of cedar wood.
Horizontal fencing can be built using several layout styles including:
- Tight horizontal privacy fencing
- Horizontal fences with small gaps between boards
- Alternating horizontal board designs
- Framed horizontal privacy fences
Because cedar naturally resists rot and insects, it is one of the most common materials used for horizontal fence construction.
Benefits of Horizontal Cedar Fencing
- Modern, contemporary appearance
- Excellent backyard privacy
- Natural cedar wood beauty
- Works well for modern homes
- Durable material when properly installed
Many homeowners choose horizontal cedar fencing because it creates a high-end custom look that stands out compared to standard privacy fences.
Horizontal Fence Construction
Horizontal fences require careful framing and installation to prevent boards from sagging over time. Vertical support boards are typically installed between posts to support the horizontal cedar boards.
Proper post depth and strong framing are important for long-term durability.
