Board-on-Board Cedar Privacy Fence Built the Right Way

When privacy matters, the style of fence you choose makes all the difference. A standard fence with gaps between the boards might look fine from one angle - but step to the side and suddenly you've got lines of sight straight into your yard. That's exactly what a board-on-board design solves.

Here's how it works. We overlap each board so that the pickets on the front cover the gaps between the pickets behind them. The result is a fence with zero sightlines, no matter what angle someone is standing at. Full coverage, front and back. It's one of the most popular privacy fence styles we install, and it's easy to see why.

The cedar we use is the real deal. Fresh, tight-grained boards with that rich warm tone that only comes from quality cedar. Cedar is naturally resistant to moisture and insects, which makes it a smart long-term choice for a fence that's going to live outdoors year-round. A clean cap rail runs along the top to tie the whole thing together and protect the top edges of the boards from the elements.

What we really take pride in is the consistency. Every board is plumb. The cap rail runs level from post to post. No wavering, no shortcuts. That kind of craftsmanship is what separates a fence that looks good for years from one that starts to show its age fast. Cedar fence installation done right is an investment in your property - and it should look like one.

A board-on-board cedar fence pulls double duty. It gives you the privacy and security you want in your backyard, and it adds a clean, finished look to the property line that holds up beautifully over time. If you've been thinking about upgrading your fence, this style is worth a serious look.
