What kind of fence actually makes sense?
The honest answer: it depends on your yard, your budget, your dogs, and what you're trying to block or show off. Here's a straightforward breakdown of each fence I install — no hard sell.
Wood Fencing
Wood is what most North Georgia properties are built around. I build it three ways: full privacy for backyards and pool areas, 3 board for a clean open line, and 4 board where the fence needs more weight and presence. Pressure-treated pine or cedar, set on posts sized for your soil, slope, and frost line.
Best uses
Backyards · Privacy from neighbors · 3 board and 4 board property lines · Pet and kid containment · Pool-adjacent screening
Pros
- Full privacy
- Natural wood look
- Easy to repair board-by-board
- Stains to any tone
Things to consider
- Needs occasional staining/sealing
- Wood moves with weather
- Heavier on posts
