About Deck Board Fence

Deck Board Fencing in the High Country

Deck board fencing brings a clean, modern privacy look to mountain homes. Instead of vertical pickets, wide boards run horizontally for a contemporary, architectural line that pairs beautifully with newer builds and updated exteriors. It gives you full privacy and a solid wind block while reading as a design feature rather than a barrier.

We build deck board fence in wood or low maintenance composite, with the board spacing set to your preference from fully solid to a subtle reveal between boards. Because the horizontal look draws the eye along its length, it makes yards feel wider and works especially well for defining a patio or outdoor living area.

What to Consider

Getting Deck Board Right

Horizontal boards need solidly set, properly spaced posts to stay true over a long run, which is exactly the kind of careful post work our mountain installs are built around. Material choice matters too: composite costs more but never needs staining, while wood offers a warmer look at a lower entry cost.

We will talk through board spacing, height, and material so the finished fence matches the style you are going for and holds up to our weather.

Questions

Deck Board Fence FAQs

How much does a horizontal fence cost?

Horizontal board fences run higher than a standard vertical privacy fence because they need closer post spacing and straighter, higher grade boards. Length, height, board material, and gates drive the total, and we quote it clearly after a free on site estimate.

Does a horizontal fence hold up in mountain weather?

Yes, when built for it. We use quality boards, fasteners that resist movement, and post spacing tightened for the board span, so the fence stays straight through freeze and thaw and mountain wind.

What is the difference between deck board and regular privacy fence?

Both give you full privacy. A standard privacy fence runs boards vertically; deck board fencing runs wide boards horizontally for a clean, modern, architectural look that pairs well with contemporary homes and stained finishes.

What materials work for a horizontal fence?

Pressure treated pine is the workhorse, cedar takes stain beautifully, and composite boards bring a no maintenance option. We will show you samples and price the options at your estimate.
