block those neighbors out with fashion

Looking to increase your property’s privacy and security and add some natural charm to your yard? A board on board fence installation might be just what you need. This versatile and stylish fencing option provides complete privacy through its overlapping design, a solid barrier that stands the test of time and fits any landscape style.

Unlike other wood fences that have gaps between the pickets, a board on board fence uses an overlapping construction method that eliminates sight lines entirely. The result is maximum privacy, added durability and a fence that looks great from both sides of your property.

What is a Board on Board Privacy Fence?

Board on board fencing is different from other fence styles through its overlapping construction. Unlike a standard privacy fence where vertical boards are placed side by side, a board on board fence has two layers of boards that overlap each other, creating a solid barrier with no gaps.

The construction involves:

• A first layer of 6-inch fence boards installed with about 1½-inch gaps between them

• A second layer of narrower boards (usually 4-inch) installed to cover those gaps

• This overlapping of boards prevents any line of sight through the fence

This fence style provides complete privacy from any angle, unlike similar fence options like shadow box fencing which has small viewable gaps depending on the angle of view. The board on board design is a true solid barrier that many homeowners want for their outdoor spaces.

Benefits of Board on Board Fences

Many Central Maine & Beyond homeowners choose board on board fences for their properties because these beautiful structures offer more than just marking property lines.

Unbeatable Privacy

The main advantage of a board on board fence is the maximum privacy it provides. The overlapping boards eliminate any gaps between the pickets, so you have complete visual separation from your neighbors and passersby. Perfect for properties with pools, hot tubs or private outdoor living areas where seclusion is desired.

Better Weather Resistance

The overlapping design of board on board fencing makes it resistant to harsh weather and high winds. While traditional wood fences with gaps between the boards can create wind tunnels that can damage the fence, the overlapping structure of a board on board fence distributes the wind pressure more evenly, making it more durable during storms.

Board on Board Fences Look Great from Both Sides

Unlike some fence styles that have a “good side” and a “bad side,” a board on board fence looks great from both sides of your property. This dual sided appeal means your neighbors see the same beautiful fence that you do, and potentially improves neighborly relations. People all over the State of Maine will be jealous of your new fence. When they ask who built it, don’t forget to tell em’ it was Straight Fence Co, and we can BUILD THEM ONE TOO! 207-649-7493
