Privacy Fence Styles for Main Line Homes Wood, Vinyl & More

A privacy fence is a solid or near-solid fence panel that blocks sightlines into your property — providing outdoor seclusion, reducing road noise, and defining your yard as a usable living space. Privacy fences are available in multiple styles and materials, each with different aesthetics, maintenance requirements, and price points. Super Fence Co. has been installing privacy fences across Ardmore, the Main Line, Delaware County, Montgomery County, and Chester County since 2002 — in wood, vinyl, and chain link with privacy screening. Whether you want a traditional board-on-board cedar fence, a low-maintenance vinyl panel, or a modern horizontal design, we install every major style on the Main Line.

Super Fence Company services the entire Main Line area as well as Delaware County, Montgomery County and Chester County. Call us today at (610) 642-4450 for a free estimate and give us the opportunity to show you what quality stands for.

Handcrafted in Ardmore

Custom Wood Privacy Options

Our on-premises custom cedar woodworking shop allows us to cut, mill, and customize profiles rather than using basic off-the-shelf panels.

Board-on-Board (Shadowbox)

Pickets alternate front-and-back across structural rails. Blocks perpendicular views completely while permitting helpful storm airflow to limit structural lean

Dog Ear Stockade

Pickets sit flush edge-to-edge with 45-degree angled top corner cuts. Reliable full-privacy shielding that represents our most budget-conscious natural wood baseline.

Interlocking Tongue & Groove

Boards machine-nest seamlessly edge-to-edge. Yields an ultra-smooth, gapless architectural barrier that blocks all sightlines even as wood shifts through PA winter cycles.

Modern Horizontal Slat

Lumber boards run parallel to the ground for a sleek appearance. Built with premium-grade straight lumber to prevent sagging, matching old stone or newer builds.

Lattice-Top Variations

Combines a solid 5-6ft structural baseline with a decorative open lattice section top. Breaks up harsh wall lines and routinely fulfills specific neighborhood height regulations.

Cap & Trim Architectural Upgrade

Adds a solid flat weather cap across the picket end grain and runs finished trim boards over tracking lines. Transforms entry-level fencing into a premium custom accent.

Property Match & Style Advisor

Use our real-world blueprint alignment matrix to pair the right privacy style with your target budget, maintenance tolerance, and neighborhood architecture.

Looking for Partial Screening? Semi-Privacy Options

If a full solid wall feels too enclosed, we build Spaced Board / Open Picket timber structures with 1-2 inch spacing, or install cost-effective Chain Link with high-density Vinyl Privacy Slats blocking 85-95% of sightlines.

Maintenance-Free Polyvinyl

Vinyl Privacy Configurations

Contractor-grade PVC options available in white, warm tan, earthy brown, or natural textured woodgrain styles with zero staining required.

Full-Panel Flush Vinyl

Solid flush panels creating zero sightline tracking from any angle. The go-to choice for pool safety code parameters.

Vinyl Tongue & Groove

Interlocking tracking boards that form a smooth panel face. Looks highly realistic in premium woodgrain cedar textures.

Vinyl Lattice-Top

Combines solid baseline panels with integrated molded vinyl lattice caps. Will never rot, fade, flake, or require painting.

Horizontal Vinyl Arrays

Replicates the clean, minimalist look of contemporary horizontal wood fencing without the premium lumber cost.

Local Price Benchmarks

Pricing tracks with required panel board volume and architectural cuts:

A typical 200-foot local installation runs from $3,600 to $9,000 depending on final styles, slopes, and gates.

Main Line Privacy Height Guide

While 6 feet represents the standard permitted rear residential height across Delaware and Montgomery Counties, local code compliance requires careful planning.

4 Feet

Typically reserved for front yards or landscape borders. Provides basic containment but does not block adult sightlines from a standing position.

5 Feet

Provides good coverage from most standard seated angles. Ideal for properties where local HOA caps restrict rear fencing below 6 feet.

6 Feet (Standard)

The premier baseline height for residential rear and side yards on the Main Line. Offers full-ground sightline shielding for most adults.

8 Feet

Maximum allowable height in most regional zones. Requires explicit variance applications. Useful for addressing steep lot drops or heavy commercial road noise.

Frequently Asked Question.

01. What are the different styles of privacy fences?

The main privacy fence styles are: board-on-board (shadowbox), dog ear stockade, tongue and groove, horizontal slat, lattice-top, and cap and trim, all available in wood. Vinyl privacy fencing offers full-panel, tongue and groove, lattice-top, and horizontal panel styles. Each style differs in construction method, visual appearance, airflow, and cost. Super Fence Co. installs every major style across the Main Line in both wood and vinyl.

02. What is the cheapest style of privacy fence?

The dog ear stockade fence is typically the least expensive full-privacy wood option, it uses standard pressure-treated pickets placed edge-to-edge with a pointed or flat dog ear top cut, and requires no overlapping or interlocking. Among all materials, chain link with vinyl privacy slats is the most affordable privacy solution overall. For vinyl, a standard full-panel vinyl privacy fence is the most economical maintenance-free option.

03. What fence style increases home value?

Board-on-board cedar and horizontal cedar privacy fences consistently deliver the strongest curb appeal and perceived property value on the Main Line. Vinyl privacy fencing is also viewed favourably by buyers due to its maintenance-free status. Chain link and basic stockade fencing have neutral to modest impacts on value. For properties in premium Main Line markets, a custom cedar privacy fence with cap and trim or horizontal boards is considered a high-ROI exterior improvement.

04. What is the most durable type of privacy fence?

Vinyl privacy fencing is the most durable option for homeowners who want a fence that requires no ongoing maintenance - it resists rot, warping, insects, and moisture for 20 to 30 years. For wood, western red cedar is the most durable species available, its natural oils resist rot and insects without chemical treatment. Cedar privacy fences last 15 to 20 years with periodic staining and outlast pressure-treated pine in most conditions.

05. How do I block my neighbor's view of my backyard?

A 6-foot board-on-board, tongue-and-groove, or full-panel vinyl privacy fence is the most effective way to block sightlines from a neighbouring property. If your neighbour's yard or house is elevated relative to yours, an 8-foot fence or a lattice-top extension may be required to achieve complete privacy. For immediate partial screening while a permanent fence is planned, a windscreen fabric installed on an existing chain link fence blocks 85 to 95 percent of sightlines within a day.

06. What is the most low-maintenance fence?

Vinyl privacy fencing is the most low-maintenance option available - it never needs painting, staining, or sealing and cleans with soap and water. Ornamental aluminum fencing is the second-lowest maintenance material, though it does not provide full privacy. Among wood options, cedar is the most naturally durable species and requires less frequent maintenance than pressure-treated pine. For homeowners who prioritise minimal upkeep, vinyl is the clear choice.

07. How do I make a privacy fence look better?

The most effective ways to improve a privacy fence's appearance are: adding a cap and trim detail (a horizontal cap board across the top and trim boards along the rails), staining or painting a wood fence in a colour that complements your home's exterior, adding lattice-top extensions for visual height and interest, planting climbing vines or hedges along the fence base, and installing gate hardware that matches your home's architectural hardware. Super Fence Co. can add cap and trim details or lattice-top extensions to existing fences during a separate visit.
