Why Board-on-Board Was the Best Fit
Board-on-board fencing is one of the most effective styles for privacy in North Texas. The overlapping pickets eliminate gaps, even as the wood naturally expands and contracts with seasonal temperature changes.
For this property, the board-on-board design provided maximum privacy while maintaining a clean, high-end appearance that fits well in established neighborhoods like The Colony.
Premium Materials Built to Last
Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to rot, insects, and moisture, making it an excellent choice for Texas climates. The pressure-treated pine kickboard protects the fence at ground level where moisture exposure is highest, while the cedar top cap helps shield the pickets from sun and water damage.
These upgrades significantly extend the life of the fence and enhance its overall appearance.
Wood Defender Oxford Brown Finish
The fence was pre-stained using Wood Defender Oxford Brown, delivering a rich, warm tone that highlights the natural grain of the cedar while providing long-term UV and moisture protection.
Pre-staining ensures consistent color coverage on all sides of the boards and gives the fence a finished look immediately after installation.
10-Year Warranty Coverage
This fence is backed by a 10-year warranty, giving homeowners peace of mind long after installation.
The 10-Year Warranty Covers:
- Cracked, warped, or split lumber
- Missing knot holes
- Leaning posts
- Rusting of any kind
- Defective gate hinges and latches
- Hardware
- Sagging gates
This comprehensive warranty reflects the quality of materials used and the confidence behind the workmanship.
The Finished Result
The completed fence delivers:
- Full privacy

This project is a great example of how thoughtful material choices and proper installation come together to create a fence that looks great and performs for years.
