Homeowners who are looking to build a privacy fence with a little extra flair have plenty of options for embellishing and customizing a basic privacy fence. This article offers tips for combining different fence styles to create a privacy fence that stands out.

Privacy fences have become one of the most ubiquitous neighborhood fence styles. A basic solid style cedar fence combines coveted seclusion from neighbors with a clean, simple look. When it's repeated in yard after yard, however, privacy fencing can become a bit monotonous.

These days, there are plenty of options for homeowners who want the privacy of a solid style cedar fence but don't want a yard that blends in with everyone else's. If you're looking for a fence with a bit of flair, there are a variety of customization options available.

As you begin planning, take a look through surrounding neighborhoods for any unique or interesting fence designs that catch your eye. Some of the most attractive designs actually combine elements of several different fence styles. By piecing together aspects of other privacy fences you like, you can build one that's unique to your home.

Here's are some ideas for personalizing your privacy fence:

Basic Privacy Fence

A standard cedar privacy fence typically measures six feet in height and features tightly-fitted boards. The top is usually flat for a smooth, even appearance. One way to add interest to a basic privacy fence is to use dog-eared boards instead, resulting in a dynamic pattern along the top. You can also experiment with different board widths or alternating board heights.

Picture Frame Fence

The picture frame fence is a more decorative variation of privacy fencing. Its name comes from the vertical posts and horizontal rails that frame the sections of fencing. The framing adds both charm and opportunities for customization. You can select the board height, the number of boards each frame will contain and whether or not the frame and boards will match. You can also embellish a picture frame fence with additional wood trim.

Lattice Top Fence

The lattice top fence is a typical variation on privacy fencing, with a section of decorative lattice along the top. Creative homeowners can take this concept a step further by incorporating lattice sections into the body of the fence to create an interesting, semi-privacy effect. You can use a narrow section of lattice as the frame in a picture frame fence, or alternate lattice sections with solid boards.

Good Neighbor Fence

A Good Neighbor fence is another popular take on privacy fencing. Instead of featuring boards affixed to one side of the supporting rails, a Good Neighbor fence has boards attached alternately to each side of the rails. You can customize this style by narrowing or widening the gaps between boards.

Semi-Privacy Fence

Homeowners who want partial privacy without feeling closed in can choose a semi-privacy fence. These are typically shorter than regular privacy fencing, with small spaces between the boards. Adjusting the gap width and board heights can create aesthetically pleasing designs. Try using tall, thin boards and placing them 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch apart. The slotted effect will make the fence seem more open, while the height will provide the illusion of extra privacy.

With all these options to experiment with, there's no reason your privacy fence should look just like everyone else's. Don't be afraid to combine several designs to create a unique, customized fence that meets your privacy needs as well as your aesthetic desires.

The Cedar $49.99 The Cedar - Giclee Print

Cedar $24.95 From the mighty cedar of the rainforest came a wealth of raw materials vital to the early Northwest Coast Indian way of life, its art and culture. For thousands of years these people developed the tools and technologies to fell the giant cedars that grew in profusion. They used the rot-resistant wood for graceful dugout canoes to travel the coastal waters, massive post-and-beam houses in which to live, steam bent boxes for storage, monumental carved poles to declare their lineage and dramatic dance masks to evoke the spirit world. Every part of the cedar had a use. The versatile inner bark they wove into intricately patterned mats and baskets, plied into rope and processed to make the soft, warm, yet water-repellent clothing so well suited to the raincoast. Tough but flexible withes made lashing and heavy-duty rope. The roots they wove into watertight baskets embellished with strong designs. For all these gifts, the Northwest Coast peoples held the cedar and its spirit in high regard, believing deeply in its healing and spiritual powers. Respectfully, they addressed the cedar as Long Life Maker, Life Giver and Healing Woman. Photographs, drawings, anecdotes, oral history, accounts of early explorers, traders and missionaries highlight the text.
