Republic Fence Company - Fence Types
In most areas of Houston, fence style is determined by the preferences of the homeowner and the requirements set forth by the HOA, if one exists. In situations where there are no HOA specifications, or where the customer may choose between different styles of fencing, we recommend keeping the style of fence consistent with the other fences in the neighborhood.Republic Fence can provide the following types of fences: wood, vinyl, ornamental iron, chain link, game fencing.
Composite "Trex" fencing available.
Wood Fencing in Houston
The majority of wood residential fences in Houston Texas are as follows:- Classic Cedar Privacy Fence
This standard wood privacy fence is generally 6' to 8' tall, sometimes with a facia board along the bottom. The width of the pickets are either 3 1/2" to 6" and are usually dog-earred or notched. A fence is considered a privacy fence because you cannot see through the panels unless you are up very close to the fence. The cedar fence in the photo is a premium grade fence with a 2x12" base board, 6' cedar picket and a 2x6" rough cedar cap. - Shadow Box Fence or alternating board fence
This wood privacy fence is also either 6' tall, or 7' tall with a facia board along the bottom. The pickets are alternated on either side of the fence rails to create a "shadow box" feel. This fence is a nice gesture if you have neighbors, as both sides of the fence look exactly the same. It may also be preferred to get your neighbor to split the cost of the fence as this style of fence requires more lumber, more labor, and therefore is more expensive than the classic fence. - Good Neighbor Fence
This wood privacy fence is like a Shadow Box fence, only instead of alternating pickets there are alternating sections of the fence. Each 6' to 8' section of fence is constructed so that it faces one side and then the other. This fence uses only slightly more materials than a classic fence and does not generally require any additional labor.
Depending upon where you live you may be bound by certain condition of a home owner's association. We are familiar with the fencing requirement of many area HOA's. If you do not know what your HOA says about fencing specifications, we will research it for you as part of the service.
