Horizontal Redwood Fence

Full-height horizontal redwood fencing built board by board on site, with tight consistent reveals down the whole run.

The problem

Standard vertical dog-ear fencing is quick, but it dates a yard fast and does nothing for privacy once the boards cup and gap. These properties needed a boundary that actually looked designed.

What Gary did

Gary sets the posts, then runs the boards horizontally with a deliberate consistent reveal between each one. Getting a horizontal fence to look right depends almost entirely on the run staying level and the gaps staying identical over distance — that is the whole job.

The result

A clean modern boundary that reads as a single continuous plane, with the grain and colour variation of the redwood doing all the visual work.
