Modern Horizontal Wood Fence Installation
Sleek, contemporary horizontal cedar and redwood fencing for Sacramento homes. Modern architectural lines, custom board gaps, and steel post integration for maximum modern curb appeal.
Transform Your Sacramento Landscape with Horizontal Lines
Horizontal wood fencing has quickly become the top choice for modern and mid-century Sacramento homeowners seeking a sleek, custom aesthetic. By running cedar or redwood planks horizontally across hidden steel posts, horizontal fencing visually expands your yard, creating clean linear shadow-lines that highlight your home's exterior architecture.
Palisade Fence Co. specializes in custom horizontal wood fencing throughout Sacramento, East Sacramento, Land Park, Midtown, and Roseville. We craft full-privacy horizontal fences with tight tongue-and-groove boards, as well as modern open-slat horizontal screens with uniform 1/4" to 1/2" gaps.
To prevent horizontal boards from warping over long spans, we utilize heavy-gauge PostMaster concealed steel posts and mid-span vertical stiffeners. Preserve your new fence with our fence staining & sealing services.

- Tight tongue-and-groove full privacy
- 1x4 & 1x6 alternating horizontal board patterns
- Modern open-gap horizontal privacy screens
