Horizontal Board Fence Installation in Toronto and the GTA
A modern fence with clean, level lines. Built with closer post spacing and consistent gaps so the boards stay straight.
Modern look, real privacy
Horizontal fences suit newer homes, landscaped yards and anyone who wants their fence to look like part of the design.
- Clean lines that make a yard feel wider
- Choose tight gaps for privacy or wider gaps for airflow
- Works in cedar, pressure-treated wood or with steel posts
- Pairs well with matching gates and privacy screens
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.
