Gain Instant Backyard Privacy Without Tearing Down Your Fence

If your existing 5-foot or 6-foot wood fence leaves your backyard exposed to two-story neighbor windows, elevated decks, or busy streets, you don't need to incur the high cost of tearing down a perfectly functional fence. Installing a custom fence extension or decorative lattice topper adds 12 to 24 inches of additional privacy height quickly and economically.

Palisade Fence Co. crafts custom fence extensions across Sacramento, Elk Grove, Folsom, and Citrus Heights. We extend your existing 4x4 or steel posts using heavy-gauge metal sleeve brackets, then install framed heavy-duty diagonal lattice, square grid lattice, or contemporary horizontal slats that seamlessly blend into your existing fence line.

Once installed, our crew can perform fence staining & sealing to match your new toppers with your old fence. If any posts are weak, we can also perform fence post replacement to support the added height load.

Why Add Toppers

Four Advantages of Fence Extensions

Instant privacy, architectural beauty, and huge savings.

Major Cost Savings

Extending your existing fence costs 50–60% less than tearing down and rebuilding a brand-new 8ft fence.

Block 2nd-Story Views

Adding 12 to 24 inches effectively blocks line-of-sight views from neighboring two-story windows and decks.

Decorative Character

Framed lattice and horizontal toppers break up plain solid walls, adding elegant architectural texture.

Fast 1-Day Installation

Most residential fence extension projects are completed in a single day with minimal disruption.

How We Work

Our 6-Step Fence Extension Process

Structural post extension and custom-fitted topper panels.

1

Post Stability Assessment

We inspect existing posts to ensure they are plumb and strong enough to support the added height and wind load.

2

Post Extension Bracket Fit

Heavy steel extension sleeves or sistered wood posts are secured to existing post tops with structural lag bolts.

3

Top Rail Mounting

A continuous 2x4 top rail is installed across post extensions to form a rigid structural header frame.

4

Custom Topper Fabrication

Lattice or horizontal slat panels are custom-cut and framed in 2x2 wood molding for clean edge detail.

5

Panel Installation

Topper panels are mounted into the header frame and secured with stainless steel exterior fasteners.

6

Color Match Staining

We apply a matching oil-based stain across old and new wood to create a unified, seamless fence line.
