Cedar Fence Styles Based on Property Needs
Different properties require different fence styles. The right choice depends on how much privacy you need, how the space is used, and the overall layout.
1. Cedar Privacy Fence (Full-Panel / Side-by-Side)
A solid, full-coverage fence designed to block visibility and create enclosed spaces. It is commonly used in backyards, pool areas, and side yards for privacy.
2. Board-on-Board Cedar Fence
This style uses overlapping vertical boards. It provides consistent privacy on both sides and is often used for properties that face neighbors or open areas.
3. Horizontal Cedar Fence
A more structured design using horizontal boards. It requires precise alignment and stronger framing but offers a clean, modern look. Suitable for front-facing sections or design-focused properties.
4. Cedar Split Rail Fence
Used for larger areas where boundary marking is needed without blocking the view. It works well for open layouts, acreage, and commercial properties where visibility is important.

Types of Cedar Fences Used in Installation
Rocket Fence offers different cedar options depending on the look, budget, and performance needs of your project. While both western red cedar and Japanese cedar can be used for privacy fencing, each has its own appearance, texture, and advantages. Understanding the difference can help you choose the right cedar fence for your property.
● Western Red Cedar Fence
Western Red Cedar fencing is commonly selected for its strength and uniform grain. It holds its shape well over time and supports staining or finishing if required.
This type is known for its reddish-brown hue and natural beauty. The price of Western Red Cedar privacy fencing materials tends to be moderate to moderately high, making it a preferred option for its durability, appearance, and versatility.
● Japanese Cedar Fence
Japanese Cedar fence, also known as hinoki cypress, has a lighter tone and a more refined finish. It is lightweight and naturally resistant to decay, making it suitable for both decorative and functional fencing. Japanese cedar fences can be designed in various styles,
from traditional pickets to modern privacy, to complement the aesthetics of any property. It is often used where a clean, consistent look is important.

Frequently Asked Questions
The four most requested fence styles are cedar privacy (solid panels), board-on-board (overlapping pickets for zero gaps), horizontal cedar (modern slat look), and cedar split rail (rustic boundary).
Choose privacy for full screening, board-on-board for no shrink-gaps, horizontal for contemporary curb appeal, and split rail for acreage and open views.
A cedar privacy fence can last anywhere between 10 to 30+ years depending on if using galvanized steel posts vs standard treated pine posts, if the fence has been stained or not, and the setting for the fence. If the fence is under constant shade, moisture will not go away fast enough after it gets wet from rain and sprinklers and the wood will decay faster than a fence with more sunlight or balanced sun and shade. Also, flower beds that are built up against the base of the fence will accelerate the wood rot as well (just like if the siding on your house would rot faster if you had constant shade and moisture against it).
If using treated pine posts, most posts will last 8-15 years with today’s materials. If using galvanized steel posts, the posts can last several rounds without needing to be changed out and you will need to re-face with new wood above ground only. This approach costs more the first round but will be less expensive for later rounds since the posts can remain in place.
This style uses two overlapping layers of vertical boards. By eliminating the small gaps that typically appear as wood dries, it provides "zero-gap" privacy, making it ideal for properties facing busy streets or neighbors.
Industry-standard for cedar privacy fencing is #2 or better grade. Pressure-treated yellow pine #2 grade is used for the posts, rotboards, and rails. "Cedar fencing" usually only referring to the parts of the fence such as the pickets, cap rail, and fascia trim and those are #2 or better grade as well. There are other grades but not common and usually a lot more costly than #2 grade. Since #2 grade is expensive enough as it is these days it's even less common to deviate from that.
Yes. Designs can be adjusted with different styles, spacing, and finishes based on your preference.
It is always recommended to seal and stain your cedar fence after it's been installed especially if you plan on living at the same place for a long time and want it to last longer without having to think of replacing again as soon. There are many different stain products and types of stain. There are water based and oil based stains. And there are transparent, semi-transparent, semi-solid, and solid stains. Semi-solid and solid stains are more like paint and hide the grain of the wood so transparent and semi-transparent are mostly recommended. Transparent stain keeps the current color in place. Semi-transparent adds some color while being transparent enough to clearly see the grain of the wood.
Cedar fences are most durable when done with galvanized steel posts, posts set deep enough with enough concrete, and the wood is stained to delay the aging process.
