Horizontal Fence

Horizontal Fencing
Schaumburg IL

In 2022, Horizontal Fencing is all the rage. It is the latest craze in fencing. It features a modern design and can constitute a variety of material types. Wood, combined with horizontal board fencing breaks the common styles of the past. Horizontal board fence usually features boards of equal size horizontally across each panel. Each panel is usually 6-8' wide. This provides a unique appearance and a high-end designer look.

​Many local fence companies won't provide an option for horizontal fencing because it is a specialty design and takes talent to be able to build correctly. The higher end horizontal fence options we install involve metal rails and tongue & groove boards that require an advanced level of fence building experience to build correctly.

Horizontal Wood Fence

Wood is the most common fence material used today, and that's no exception to horizontal fence style. Wood is great to work with because it is fully customizable and can be installed a variety of ways. Also, when its done, it can be stained to match any style. The above pictures feature both pine horizontal fencing and cedar horizontal fencing. The cedar (darker color wood) is stained to the customer's liking. It's truly a gorgeous look.

Modern Horizontal Fence

If you search on Instagram or Pinterest for "modern fence styles" or "modern fence" you are sure to bring up thousands of posts of horizontal fencing all around the country. There are many fence companies installing them with metal posts, metal framing, or wood posts. The horizontal fence makes any backyard look that much better, and is definitely a conversation starter. You are guaranteed to see modern horizontal fences installed everywhere in the next 3-5 years based on current market trends.

Horizontal Fence Panels

Typically fences are constructed with vertical pickets that go alongside the fence posts. In a horizontal fence, the pickets run horizontally, and really aren't considered "pickets" at that point, but boards. Horizontal fencing is often referred to as "horizontal board". One thing that should be noted is cost. The cost of a horizontal fence is significantly more expensive due to the tongue & groove boards that need to be installed. They are a higher quality material that are manufactured in smaller volume versus your standard fence pickets. Hence, the cost is usually double than that of a standard horizontal wood fence.

Horizontal Fence Pricing

How much does horizontal fencing cost? Well it all depends on the overall linear footage, type of material, etc. Typically horizontal fencing is our most expensive option as it is a specialty design. Not only is it a special design and takes more man hours to build, it also requires more expensive materials. The tongue and groove boards are similar to that of deck boards and are manufactured to a higher standard than regular fence pickets. For this reason, materials are usually double the cost over a regular vertical fence.

Staggered Horizontal Fence
Staggered horizontal fence is the newest design in horizontal fencing. The design staggered horizontal fence comes in a variety of material options, but mostly cedar is the popular choice. Staggered horizontal cedar fence is a popular choice because it looks the best and will retain its shape over pressure treated pine fencing. The nice thing about cedar is that it looks great naturally, but can also be stained to give it a more upscale look. Painting or staining the fence also increases the longevity of the cedar, as most cedar fences only last about 15 years in the Chicagoland area.
