8 Popular Wood Fence Styles

Board-on-Board

This is a type of privacy fence made by attaching every other picket to the opposite side of the rail. The overlapping design results in a sturdy, solid fence that’s just as attractive from either side, though the additional material required adds to the cost.

With no gaps or spacing between pickets, board-on-board fencing is great for those seeking maximum privacy. The pickets can be oriented vertically or horizontally.

Pros

• Sturdy construction;
• Total privacy;
• Overlap won’t allow cracks if wood shrinks;
• Attractive design.

Cons

• Overlapping design requires more material, which increases the cost.
