If you’re thinking about getting a fence installation for your property, you might be surprised to discover how many options are available to you. One of the first decisions you’ll need to make is about which fence style you want to surround your yard. Here are some of the most popular options to consider.

3 Common Fence Styles

1. Picket

White picket fences are favored by homeowners who prefer classic additions to their outdoor space. Most are made with either wood or vinyl, and they’re effective at keeping kids on the property. If you’re concerned about your pets jumping over the posts, ask your fence contractor to increase the height. Although the fence is typically used to frame the house, you can also use a more compact one to help your flowerbeds stand out.

2. Lattice

The lattice fence is a more distinctive option for homeowners who want to install something decorative and eye-catching. Because it supports climbing plants and vines well, it’s often used as a trellis to accent the landscape. But the beauty of the lattice design is its versatility. If you prefer something that offers more privacy, get a lattice top design that features standard posts on the bottom and a section of crosshatch workmanship on the top.

3. Shadow Box

If you have young children, pets, or a pool, a shadow box fence installation will guard your privacy. It features traditional pickets on either side, alternating to fill in the spaces between them. When facing the fence head-on, nothing can be seen past the pickets, whereas if you look down the slats, you’ll be able to see the spaces. This mostly obstructed view provides a measure of privacy, but also allows light and air to filter through the open spaces.
