Rockwall fences take a beating from strong winds coming off Lake Ray Hubbard and from Blackland Prairie clay that swells and shrinks with the weather. That combination is what makes so many fences lean. We set posts deep in concrete and build with sturdy rails and framing so your cedar fence stays straight.
Our wood fence maintenance guide explains how to keep cedar looking good in North Texas.
Board-on-board is the top choice for privacy in Rockwall because the overlapping boards leave no gaps. Side-by-side is the classic backyard fence, shadowbox looks good from both sides and lets wind pass through, and horizontal cedar gives newer homes a modern look. Most backyard fences are 6 or 8 feet tall.
