Fence Installation

Board-on-Board Fence Installation

Board-on-board overlaps every picket so the fence stays solid even after the wood shrinks. It also looks the same from both sides, which settles most property-line debates before they start.

Why the overlap matters

A standard side-by-side privacy fence loses privacy as pickets dry and shrink, leaving gaps you can see through. Board-on-board builds that shrinkage in from the start, so the line stays solid.

Material and finish

We build board-on-board in cedar most often. It carries stain well and pairs naturally with a cap and trim top if you want the run framed.
