Horizontal fences and gates have been gaining in popularity over the past several years for a number of factors. People are choosing horizontal fencing over the typical vertical fence for the aesthetic value and contemporary feel they lend to the landscaping, in addition to the added privacy they provide. A horizontal fence has the appearance of a wall rather than a typical fence, and in that sense it has the impact of extending the house itself into the yard.

More info regarding custom, contemporary and modern horizontal designs:
One thing to note if building a modern fence on your own: staggering and spacing used in horizontal fencing do pose an issue for people with small children who could possibly climb the fence. This is definitely something to consider when making a choice between traditional and horizontal fences. Safety comes first for people with children or who plan to grow their families in the future. In this instance, a traditional vertical fence would be a better choice. Need staining help? Visit Dallas Stain Pros (our sister site) for help with staining.
What is horizontal fencing called?
Backer rails, sometimes called fence rails or fence stringers, run horizontally from post to post. They connect to the posts with fasteners and are the fence components to which the pickets are attached.
Make sure when undertaking the task of building a horizontal fence, that you have thoroughly researched the proper technique or have hired a contractor who has done this before. Otherwise you could end up with an eyesore very quickly. This is why some contractors do not offer horizontal fencing at all. In order to make them stable and effective, more money and time must be allotted for the project.
To summarize: the aesthetic appeal of a horizontal or slat fence is enough for many people to make the choice. And if done properly, a horizontal fence can last a very long time and add beauty and privacy to your property. They are a fantastic choice for modern homes and properties. On the flip side, horizontal fences can degrade quickly if not done correctly. They are more time consuming and cost more money when done right. They are not the best choice for people with small children for a variety of reasons. Hopefully our site gives you the information you need to make an informed decision, weighing the pros and cons of traditional vs. horizontal fencing. We look forward to earning your business!
