It’s officially a new year! In honor of this quarter, we’ve decided to share some wood fence designs for 2025 to inspire your fencing plans for this year.
Styles of wood fencing
Traditional dog ear: Typical pine paneling, dog-eared fence pickets taper at the top of the slat and can be placed close together for additional privacy.
Functional shadow box: A shadow box fence uses overlapping pickets with little to no spacing between the boards.
Board-on-board: Provides privacy, security and soundproofing. Popular for residential homes.
Rustic post-and-rail: Made with two posts and two or three rails connecting the posts, this style can add a rustic look to your property.
Natural split-rail fencing: Similar to post-and-rail, a split-rail fence uses the same design, but with natural pieces of smooth, uniform wood.
Classic white picket fences: Timeless and used to add charm, a white picket fence adds boundaries and aesthetics to any home.
Vertical louver fence: Positioned on a slant to increase privacy, a vertical louver fence has posts spaced out to allow wind to pass through and visibility.
Modern horizontal slat fences: For a contemporary look, position the rails horizontally and stack them to the desired height.
Bamboo fencing: Another of the wood fence designs for 2025, and a less common one, is using bamboo for your fence. This wood is very lightweight and resistant to termites.
Ways to enhance your wood fence
Mixing wood and metal: For a longer-lasting fence option, try using metal posts with your wood fence. Using steel posts can add more durability to your fence.
Combining wood and wire: A more affordable fence option can be to combine wood and wire fencing, such as chicken coops and garden fencing.
Scallop fencing: With swooping tops where the center of the panel is the lowest point, this design is pleasing to the eye and easy to cut into your fence.
Convex fences: The inverse of scallop fencing, a convex fence features sloping curves where the center of each fence panel is the highest point.
Lattice details: For the look of a trellis fence and the functionality of a traditional wood fence, add lattice pattern panels to your fence!
Crossbuck fences: By crisscrossing your horizontal rails to form an X pattern, a crossbuck fence can add extra support to your post-and-rail fencing.
Built-in planter boxes: Incorporate gardening with your fence design, and build planter boxes to attach to your fence for added aesthetic appeal.
Adding caps and trimming: Adding style and stability, fence caps and trimming can increase your fence’s life span.
Basket weaving design: Basket weaving fence designs can create a unique look. This is where you interlace your vertical or horizontal planks, similar to a wicker basket.
Dog windows: Have a pup you want to keep safely contained yet allow them views to the outside world? Add dog windows to your fence!
