Privacy Fence Gate Styles (a short sampling)

Protect your Fence with a Footer

Some fence styles, like picket fences, are raised off the ground to protect wood from moisture and/or termites. Wooden privacy fences, however, are designed to rest as close to the ground as possible.

 

Experienced fence installers will ask you to choose a footing to protect your investment. 

Cedar Privacy Fences

Cedar is the most popular wood fence material in NE Texas:

 

  • Interlocking pores naturally insulate against heat and noise.

  • Internal oils waterproof the wood.

  • Aromatic oils repel insects.

  • Resists warping, cracking and splitting.

  • Longevity is typically 20-30 years

Redwood Privacy Fences

Redwood is available in a variety of grades. Typically, the highest grades are used for bottom caps and posts. Like Cedar, Redwood has these attributes:

  • Internal oils that waterproof and protect against insects

  • Resistance to rot

  • Longevity is typically 20 years

Cyprus Privacy Fences

Cyprus is lighter in color but also contains oils that protect against:

 

  • Insects

  • Rot

  • Warping

  • Longevity is typically 20 years

 

Cyprus is often chosen because of its affordability. 

Pine Privacy Fences

Pine is pressure treated to combat rot, termites and other insects. Nonetheless, it is best to waterproof pine yearly in an effort to extend its life.

 

  • Longevity is typically 10-15 years

Vinyl Choices

Traditional Vinyl

Now available in a huge variety of subtle shades that match vinyl siding colors and homeowner's preferences, vinyl fencing is a much-improved product from that produced as recently as ten years ago. 

Faux Wood Vinyl

Once a poor substitute for wood fence panels, thanks to the Bufftech Vinyl Fence Company the process of wood grain emulation has finally come into its own. 

 

Available in asoundingly beautiful hues, Wood Grain vinyl is finally a viable alternative to wood. 

Faux Stone Vinyl 

Once thought impossible to accomplish, a company called Simtech has managed to create vinyl panels that do an excellent job of emulating stone fencing. Although nothing can compare with the look of real stone, these vinyl panels are increasingly competing with similar products created from cast stone.

Vinyl Toppers

Stone and Brick fences look simply amazing when topped with fencing materials. Vinyl has recently begun to offer a variety of viable products for this purpose that are both attractive and practical.

Improved technology makes today's privacy fences more beautiful and durable than ever before. Whether constructed from from wood, cast stone, or in wood-grain or faux-stone vinyl, privacy fences make a lasting statement.

 

This pictorial provides a quick overview of the many styles available.  

Cast Stone Choices

Faux Masonry Cast Stone

Precast Concrete products have been around since the Twelfth Century, but never before have they been so versatile. In fact, Omega Companies has dedicated an entire website to the subject! (Link)

 

Faux Stone Concrete panels are beautiful both inside and out and last for generations!

Stacked Cast Stone

Cast Stone is available in both individual blocks and sections that can be mounted to form any configuration. For this reason, they are extremely popular as retaining walls and where curved or dynamically shaped walls and fences are required.
