Brought to you By Harbor Deck and Fence – Your Premier and Top Rated Fence & Deck Builder in Tacoma WA
Choosing the right fence design can enhance both the privacy and appearance of your property. At Harbor Deck & Fence, we offer a variety of fence styles that balance durability, function, and visual appeal. Whether you’re looking for a classic cedar privacy fence, a modern horizontal design, or a decorative boundary fence, we can build a solution that fits your property and goals.
Below are some of the most popular fence designs we offer to homeowners throughout Tacoma and the surrounding areas.
Popular materials used for Privacy Wood Style fences include, Cedar, Pine, Doug Fir and other options.
Full privacy cedar/wood fences are designed to completely block visibility while creating a strong and attractive boundary around your property. Cedar/Wood boards are installed closely together to eliminate gaps, providing maximum privacy for backyards and residential spaces. Privacy fences are commonly built in heights ranging from 6 to 8 feet and can be customized with different board styles, top caps, or decorative trim.
This is one of the most common fence styles throughout Tacoma. Cedar privacy fencing offers excellent durability while creating a natural appearance that complements a wide variety of home styles.
We offer several cedar privacy fence design options:
Standard Privacy Fence (2-Rail or 3-Rail)
This is the most budget-friendly option. Rails are installed on one side of the fence with vertical cedar pickets on the opposite side. It provides solid privacy while keeping material and construction costs lower.
Trim Style Privacy Fence (4-Rail)
This design includes two rails installed both sides of fence at the top and two at the bottom, often finished with a top cap. Fence posts extend between panels, creating a more refined and decorative appearance. This design is often used between neighboring properties because it creates a balanced and attractive fence that benefits both sides.
Board-on-Board Privacy Fence
This style uses overlapping vertical cedar boards to create the highest level of privacy. Combined with a 4-rail trim frame and top cap, this design creates a strong and visually appealing privacy screen.
Horizontal Cedar Fence Design
Horizontal cedar fences create a modern and architectural appearance by installing boards horizontally rather than vertically. This design creates clean lines that visually widen the space while maintaining privacy and security.
Additional customization options include post caps, decorative trim, and lattice top sections to further enhance the appearance of the fence.
Because cedar fences can be built in many different styles, not every design can be shown here. If you have a specific fence style in mind, our team can work with you to create a custom cedar fence that fits your vision.
Hog wire fencing is a popular option for homeowners who want a balance between visibility, durability, and modern design. This style typically features galvanized steel wire panels framed within cedar posts and rails, creating a strong and attractive fence system.
Unlike traditional privacy fences, hog wire fences allow for open visibility while still establishing a clear property boundary. This makes them ideal for properties where homeowners want to maintain views of landscaping, gardens, or surrounding scenery.
Hog wire fences are commonly used for backyards, garden areas, and larger properties throughout Tacoma and the surrounding communities. The combination of cedar framing and metal wire panels creates a fence that is both durable and visually appealing.
Additional options may include custom cedar frames, trim boards, or decorative post caps to further enhance the overall appearance of the fence.
In addition to standard fence styles, we also offer custom fence designs tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each property. Many homeowners choose to incorporate unique materials, layouts, or decorative features to create a fence that complements the architecture of their home and surrounding landscape.
We can build fully custom cedar fences, modern slat designs, vinyl privacy fence, metal ornamental fencing, decorative fencing, or mixed-material systems that combine wood and metal components for a more distinctive appearance.
We are also able to install prefabricated metal fencing systems and fencing kits from various suppliers when requested. If you have a specific fence product or kit in mind, our team can help source the materials and professionally install the system as part of your project.
Whether you are looking for a traditional fence style or a completely custom design, we can work with you to create a fencing solution that fits your property and vision.
