Board on Board - This is a privacy type wood fence.
In this type of fence, a third picket is placed on top of every two
picket nailed together, creating a full privacy and giving extra strength
to the fence. Of course this means more wood, so the fence will be
more expensive.
• Stockade - This
is also a privacy wood fence; here the pickets are cramped together
flat on rails and nailed tight against each other. But since wood
bends and warps over time, you are most likely to have small gaps
in between pickets. So you can say that over time, it become semi-privacy
fence.
• Shadowbox - In this type
of wood fence, pickets are placed behind and in front of each other,
creating an almost full privacy fence. There are small gaps in between
the front and back pickets.
• Post and Rail
- This type of fence is most common in farms and other agricultural
facilities. They do not have any pickets, only strong rails running
along on posts. Commonly 2, 3 or 4 rails.
• Picket
Fence - this is the most common type of wood fence. Before
any of the fancy styles or designs of fencing were thought about,
wooden picket fences existed. There are mainly two types of picket
fences - classical being the most common one.
• Classical
Picket Fence - Generally 6? by 8? wide panels, with two rails,
several pickets spaced out evenly and the top tip of each picket shaped
pointy instead of flat.
• Contemporary Picket
Fence - Same size panels as the classical, 6? by 8? with
two rails and several pickets. The only difference is that the top
rail runs across the top line of the pickets, which are flat instead
of pointy. So the top rail nails at the end of each picket and acts
like a handrail.
Wood fences provide excellent visual barriers and block out excessive
noise and depending on the style you choose can also provide you privacy.
