What keeps horizontal boards straight
Closer posts
Shorter spans between posts stop long boards from sagging over time.
Centre supports
A vertical support in the middle of each section keeps boards in line.
Even gaps
Spacers keep the gaps consistent from one end of the fence to the other.
Capped tops
A top cap protects board ends and gives a finished look.
Horizontal fence questions
Do horizontal fences sag?
Long boards can sag if posts are too far apart. We space posts closer and use a centre support where needed so boards stay straight.
How private is a horizontal fence?
With tight board gaps, a horizontal fence gives strong privacy. Wider gaps look more open and let light and air through.
What wood works best for horizontal fences?
Cedar and pressure-treated lumber both work. Cedar stays straighter as it dries, which helps with long horizontal runs.
Can I mix horizontal boards with steel posts?
Yes. Steel posts with wood boards are a popular modern look and give the posts a long life.
