If you are in the market for a fence, you probably have a set of priorities you’d like to meet. From marking boundaries to keeping pets and children in and trespassers out, board-on-board fencing is the ultimate privacy fence. comp
What is board-on-board fencing?
Board-on-board privacy fencing consists of an overlapping pattern of fence pickets. This pattern conceals the gaps between boards, offering complete privacy.
A typical board-on-board fence—also known as a board and batten fence—is constructed with six-inch-wide pickets as the first layer leaving a one-and-a-half-inch gap between them. Next, a second layer of four-inch-wide pickets is installed to overlap the first. This overlapping method is where the fence type gets its name.
Board-on-board fencing is a popular choice for homeowners with children, pets, pools and hot tubs, as it enhances privacy for the homeowners while adding decorative appeal.
Different styles of board-on-board fencing.
There are several styles to choose from when it comes to board-on-board fencing designed to fit your needs, property and budget. Most are available in two heights: six- or eight-feet.
In general, wood is the most popular option for a board-on-board fence. However, the type of wood varies from cypress to pressure-treated pine to cedar.
The various styles include a modern look with horizontal board-on-board fencing, timeless board-on-board vinyl fencing, durable board-on-board picket fences and many more. Consider incorporating a top cap, lattice top, kickboard, and other design elements to enhance visual appeal.
