A privacy fence is an essential addition to any outdoor space, providing seclusion, security, and an aesthetic touch to your garden or patio. There are various different materials that can be used to built a privacy fences.
Ex. Wooden privacy fences are a classic choice, offering a natural and timeless appeal. They can be made from a variety of woods like cedar, pine, or redwood, each providing different levels of durability and resistance to weather conditions.

These screens are resistant to rot, insects, and fading, making them a long-lasting option. Composite materials can be crafted into various designs and require less maintenance than traditional wood. They are available in a variety of colors and finishes to complement any backyard décor.

Whether you prefer the natural beauty of wood, the modern feel of metal, or the long-lasting of composite, there's a privacy screen to suit every backyard.
Modern Fence
One simple way to create a modern fence is to run the boards horizontally rather than vertically. In this case, the boards are varying widths and have a slight gap between them. This creates a subtle pattern that draws the eye without dominating the landscape. A very simple pergola over the gate marks the entrance to this property.
Metal Fence
Metals are the fastest growing of all fencing types due to the recent surge of interest in modern architecture. Tubular aluminum and steel has long been used for security and pool fencing, but landscape architects are discovering metal panels of all kinds make long lasting extensions of the architecture and its industrial material choices.
The primary innovation that has caused tubular metal fencing to grow in popularity is powder coating. Former coatings did not last, and staining of pavement due to rust from aging fences was a real problem. Aluminum was the only alternative but prices were higher for this material. With the widespread use of powder coating, tubular steel has become affordable, visually diverse and widely available.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link fences will never win a beauty contest, but when they are needed, no other fence type will suffice. The strength, longevity and adaptability of chain link, and its value to sports courts and home security make this fence one of the most common today. To respond to new needs and to make chain link more visually appealing, there are some useful adaptations that fit right in with residential projects.
Types of Fence Designs
