Fence Installation

Horizontal Fence Installation

Horizontal fencing is the modern look, and it is unforgiving: every board has to be dead level or the whole run tells on you. It is a style that rewards steel posts and careful framing.

Why horizontal needs stronger framing

Boards run between posts rather than across rails, so post spacing and post rigidity carry the design. Steel posts keep long horizontal runs from bowing over time.

Spacing and privacy

Tight-stacked boards give full privacy. A deliberate quarter-inch reveal gives a modern shadow line with airflow. Both are common; we mock it up before we build.

Frequently asked questions

Does a horizontal fence work on a slope?
Yes, but it steps rather than racks. On steep ground we plan the step layout with you first so the result looks intentional.
