Privacy Fence Installation in Fort Worth

8-foot Board-on-Board fencing for total seclusion.

Total Privacy Board-on-Board Fencing

If you value seclusion, a standard wood fence isn't enough. Wood shrinks as it dries, creating gaps between pickets that let neighbors see in. Rowley Fence specializes in **Board-on-Board fencing**, where pickets overlap to create a solid wall that remains 100% private forever.

We typically build these fences at 8 feet tall (where allowed) and finish them with a decorative top cap and trim. This not only looks like a high-end estate wall but also blocks significantly more road noise than a standard fence.

  • Sound Dampening Design
  • 8ft Height Options
  • Top Cap & Trim Finish

Why Choose Privacy Fence?

Standard fences have gaps that open up as the wood shrinks. Our Board-on-Board privacy fences overlap the pickets to ensure that even when the wood settles, you never lose your privacy.

Building a Privacy Wall

1

1. Heavy Duty Posts

A solid privacy fence catches a lot of wind. We use heavy-gauge steel posts set deep to prevent it from blowing over.

2

2. Rot Board

We install a 2x6 treated 'rot board' at the bottom. This lifts the expensive cedar pickets off the ground, protecting them from moisture.

3

3. Overlap

We nail a layer of pickets with a 3-inch gap, then nail a second layer over those gaps. This uses ~30% more wood but guarantees privacy.

Privacy Fence FAQ

Can I build an 8ft fence?

In most backyards, yes. However, corner lots or front yards often have strict 4ft or 6ft limits. We check your city zoning before we build.

Does it block sound?

Yes, a solid wood fence reflects sound waves. It won't eliminate highway noise, but it dulls the roar significantly.
