Horizontal & Modern Fences — Magnolia, TX
Horizontal & Modern Fences
Clean horizontal lines for newer homes and outdoor living spaces.
What it looks like
Horizontal fences run boards or slats side to side instead of up and down. Boards can sit tight together for full privacy or have small, consistent gaps for a lighter, more open look. The result is a clean, contemporary fence that pairs well with newer home designs and outdoor living areas.
Most horizontal fences are five to six feet tall. Because long horizontal boards can sag over wide spans, posts are typically spaced closer together, and some designs add a center support or a top cap to keep the lines straight.
- Privacy level: Full or partial, depending on spacing
- Typical height: 5–6 ft typical
Materials it's built in
Acreage or subdivision lot?
On acreage
On acreage, a horizontal fence is usually a feature fence around a patio, pool, or outdoor kitchen rather than a property-line fence.
On subdivision lots
On subdivision lots, horizontal fences make a strong statement, but not every HOA allows them. If your property has HOA or deed restrictions, check with your board before you commit to the style.
Good to know
- Closer post spacing keeps long horizontal boards from sagging.
- Small gaps between boards reduce wind load.
- We request Texas 811 utility locates before any digging.
- Wood horizontal fences benefit from a UV-protective finish in our sun.
