LONG FENCE VERTICAL BOARD FENCING IS ONE OF OUR MOST POPULAR FENCE STYLES. THIS FENCE STYLE IS VIRTUALLY PRIVATE. In this particular style of fencing the boards that comprise the fence section are placed adjacent to each other, but given that all lumber shrinks, some space will develop between the vertical boards over time, hence it is considered to be virtually private. Not only will a vertical board fence add value to your home but it will also create a safe, private environment for your family to enjoy. Vertical board fencing is a durable fence option that is stick built and well-suited for steep grades. Enhance the appearance with a cap board, lattice top, arch or dip. In addition, there are a variety of fence post and cap options available to further enhance the look of your fence.
