Privacy fence installation in Slidell and the Northshore no gaps, both sides.
A full-height wood privacy fence closes off your yard from the neighbors and the street. We build standard 6 ft and 8 ft privacy fences, board-on-board or panel, sized to your lot and your neighborhood rules.
Our privacy fence work
A privacy fence has no gaps between the boards, so it blocks the view into your yard from both sides. We build board-on-board fences, where the boards overlap with no sight lines, and solid panel fences. Both give you full screening from the neighbors and the street.
Most backyards use 6 ft for privacy. Where the rules allow it and you want more screening, we build 8 ft. We walk your yard first, mark the layout, and confirm where the walk gate and any drive gate will go before we start.
We use pressure-treated lumber and galvanized hardware, and we set posts deep in concrete. On a sloped yard we step or rack the fence so it follows the ground without leaving gaps along the bottom.
What a privacy fence gives you
- Full screening so neighbors and the street cannot see into your yard
- A quieter backyard, since a solid fence cuts down on street noise
- A safe, enclosed space for kids and pets to be outside
- Board-on-board or panel in 6 ft and 8 ft to fit your yard and HOA rules
What to expect
We start by marking the layout along your property line. You will see where each post goes, where the gates open, and how the fence will sit before we dig anything.
We set the posts in concrete at the proper depth, then attach the rails and run the boards tight and level across the whole line. Gates are hung with heavy-duty hinges and tested so they swing and latch right.
When the fence is done we clean up the site and walk the line with you. Most privacy fence jobs in Slidell take one to three days depending on the size of the yard.
Privacy fence FAQs
How tall can my privacy fence be?
Most backyards use 6 ft, which gives full screening for a standing adult. We build 8 ft where the parish or your HOA allows it. We will check your local rules and any HOA limits with you before we build so the fence is the right height.
What is the difference between board-on-board and panel?
Board-on-board overlaps the boards so there is no gap to see through, even as the wood moves over time, and it looks the same good from both sides. A solid panel fence sets the boards edge to edge. Both block the view; we will walk through which one fits your yard and budget.
Do you put gates in a privacy fence?
Yes. We hang walk gates and wider drive gates with heavy-duty hinges and latches, and we frame them to match the height of the fence so the screening stays solid. Every gate is tested before we leave.
How long does a privacy fence last here?
With pressure-treated lumber, galvanized hardware, and posts set deep in concrete, a privacy fence holds up for many years in Louisiana heat and humidity. Posts set too shallow are the main reason a fence fails early, which is why we dig to the proper depth.
