Fence Styles
Wood, Vinyl, & Composite Privacy Fences
A privacy fence is designed to give you greater control over your outdoor space by adding both seclusion and security. Typically built with solid materials like wood, vinyl, or composite, these fences are made to block visibility from the outside. They’re also generally taller than standard fences—often ranging from 4 to 8 feet or more—so you can enjoy a more private and comfortable environment.
Homeowners often choose privacy fencing to create a clear boundary between properties, reduce visibility from neighbors or passersby, and transform their yard into a more peaceful, secluded retreat. In addition to privacy, these fences can help dampen outside noise and even serve as a wind barrier, which is especially helpful in busier or more open areas.
It’s also important to keep in mind that local building codes or HOA guidelines may affect your fence’s height, style, or material. Checking these requirements ahead of time helps ensure a smooth installation process.
At Fredericks Fence Company, we offer a range of privacy fence options to fit your needs, including wood, vinyl, and composite materials. Composite options—such as those made with Trex—are a popular choice for their durability, modern look, and low-maintenance appeal.
Wood Privacy Fence
Wood privacy fences can serve a variety of purposes for home and business owners alike. There are many benefits of installing a wood privacy fence.
A wood privacy fence will keep your outdoor space private, provide you and your family with added security, and increase your home’s curb appeal. Many times, this can help to increase your home’s overall value.
Wood is also an economical and durable choice. Wood privacy fences are one of the most popular and offer the most versatility.
We offer wood privacy fencing in cedar and pine, and it can be installed in a variety of style options.
Vinyl Privacy Fence
Vinyl privacy fencing provides a durable style and safety for your home or business. Vinyl fences are more durable and require less maintenance, and come in a variety of sizes, colors, and heights.
Privacy fences built with vinyl can last for a decade longer than wood fences. Vinyl does not need chemical treatment to retain durability and protection from termites. You will appreciate the seclusion and protection that a privacy fence provides.
We offer vinyl privacy in a variety of colors and style options.
Composite Privacy Fence
A composite privacy fence is a modern, high-performance option that combines the look of traditional wood with the durability of advanced materials. Made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic, composite fencing is designed to resist common issues like rot, warping, cracking, and insect damage. This makes it an excellent choice for homeowners who want long-lasting privacy without the ongoing maintenance of staining or sealing. Composite fences also hold their color well over time, offering a clean, polished appearance year after year. At Fredericks Fence Company, we proudly offer top-quality composite solutions from trusted brands like Trex, BuffTech, and FenceTrac, giving you a variety of styles and finishes to match your property while enjoying the benefits of strength, sustainability, and low upkeep.
Privacy Fence Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Privacy fences can be installed in either a stepped or contoured design to accommodate the natural slope of your yard. This ensures you still get full coverage and consistent privacy, even on uneven ground. Whether your property has a gentle grade or more noticeable changes in elevation, this approach helps maintain a clean, attractive appearance while still delivering the seclusion and security you expect from a privacy fence.
Yes, solid privacy fencing can help reduce the amount of noise that reaches your yard from traffic, neighbors, and other outdoor activity. While it won’t completely eliminate sound, it does create a helpful buffer that can noticeably soften noise levels. This added layer of separation can make your outdoor space feel more peaceful, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyday use.
Maintenance needs can vary depending on the material you choose for your privacy fence. Wood fences typically require periodic staining or sealing to help protect them from weather and keep them looking their best over time. On the other hand, vinyl and composite fences are much lower maintenance options, usually needing only an occasional rinse or light cleaning to maintain their appearance. This makes them a popular choice for homeowners who want lasting durability with minimal upkeep.
With options like wood, FenceTrac, and Trex, you can easily customize your privacy fence to suit your personal style and complement your property. Whether you prefer the natural, traditional look of wood or a more modern, streamlined design, these materials offer the flexibility to create a fence that fits your vision. No matter your aesthetic preferences, Fredericks Fence Company provides solutions designed to enhance your outdoor space with both beauty and functionality.
Privacy fences typically range from about 6 to 8 feet in height, depending on your specific needs and local building requirements.
