Spacing
Here are examples of tight board spacing vs gapping the boards. Our standard is 1/4" gap, which is the tightest boards should be placed to allow for board swelling. But but we can make the gap any size larger than 1/4". You can save on materials and create interesting looks by gapping boards at the expense of privacy. Common gaps go by board size (5 1/2") and are set at 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 of the board.
Style
Some common style of vertical fence are standard, Shadowbox and Framed.
Shadowbox alternates pickets on each side of the rail giving the fence more depth to the eye.
Framed fences aka picture frame adds boards along the bottom and top, and sometimes besides the post vertically. This creates a clean lines and also strengthens the overall structure. Also popular is the addition of just the top rail and not bottom rail aka 1/2 frame.

The most common styles are lattice filled, but browse the filled fence section and you can use any style from there as a topper. Or find a material you like and come up with your own unique design.
Wood
Material
For vertical fencing the two most common types of material used are wood or composite. Both offer unique benefits nd make beautiful fences, but unfortunately youll have to pick just one type for your main fill material.
​
Our standard wood fence is build with cedar picket boards. This is one of the most cost effective options and cedar holds up remarbly well in the elements. We reccomened a clear coat finish for added protection and just a little shine.
In composite, our standard fencing is trex brand. We will happily work with any product, but Trex is a cheap and reliable standard. One benefit of compsites is a wide array colors are available. Also no stain or sealer is required to protect the boards or get the color you want. Composite boards have the potential to last longer than traditional lumber and have minimal maintenance required. give them a good wash once in a while and they will look brand new again.
