Custom 8-Foot Board-on-Board Fence with Retaining Wall in Frisco

At Frisco Fence, every project is about more than just building a fence — it’s about solving problems, improving curb appeal, and building something that lasts.

This recent project on Willowbrook Lane is a perfect example of how the right design and materials can completely transform a property.

🔨 Project Overview

For this job, we completed a full fence replacement along with a structural upgrade to handle elevation and long-term stability.

Key Project Details:

• 107 linear feet of fencing
• 8-foot tall privacy fence
• Pre-stained Japanese Cedar (medium brown)
• Board-on-board design for maximum privacy
• Triple top cap (2x6 cap with trim detail)
• Two custom hinge gates with premium hardware

This wasn’t just a standard fence — this was a high-end privacy system built to perform and look great for years.

🧱 Built for Strength (Not Just Looks)

One of the biggest differences in this project is what you don’t see.

We installed:

• 2 3/8" steel posts (.095 gauge) set in concrete
• Simpson brackets and structural fastening system
• Pressure-treated kickboard for ground protection

This means:
✔ Less leaning over time
✔ Better resistance to Texas soil movement
✔ Longer lifespan compared to traditional wood-post fences

🏗️ Retaining Wall Integration

This property had elevation challenges that couldn’t be ignored.

We built:

• 17” tall retaining wall (approx. 91 LF)
• Stacked 2x6 pressure-treated boards
• Additional steel post reinforcement on tighter spacing

This is critical because:
👉 Without proper support, fences in these conditions will shift, lean, or fail prematurely

Instead of putting a bandaid on it, we built it the right way from the ground up.

🚪 Custom Gates & Functionality

The project also included:

• Two hinge gates
• Black hardware finish
• 3-hinge system for durability
• 2-way locking latch for security

These aren’t your typical builder-grade gates — they’re designed for daily use without sagging or failure.

🌱 Final Transformation

To finish things off, we:

• Improved the surrounding ground conditions
• Cleaned and brightened the concrete
• Brought the grass back to life for a clean, finished look

The result is a fence that doesn’t just function well — it completely upgrades the entire property.

💡 Why This Project Matters

A lot of fence quotes out there look similar on paper… but they are NOT built the same.

This project highlights the difference:

• Proper measurements and full scope included
• Structural support (not shortcuts)
• Premium materials and finish
• Built to last — not just to pass inspection
