Wood Fencing Built Your Way.
Florida Fence Pros builds several wood fence styles for Southwest Florida properties. From traditional stockade privacy fencing to horizontal and shadowbox designs, each style provides a different combination of privacy, airflow and appearance.
Horizontal Shadowbox Fence
Horizontal shadowbox fencing combines the modern appearance of horizontal boards with an alternating board layout. The result provides substantial privacy while creating depth and visual interest on both sides of the fence.
Horizontal Semi-Privacy Fence
Horizontal semi-privacy fencing uses spaced horizontal boards to provide separation while allowing additional airflow and visibility compared with a full privacy fence. It creates a clean, contemporary appearance for residential properties.
Standard Shadowbox Fence
Traditional shadowbox fencing alternates vertical boards from one side of the rails to the other. This creates a finished appearance from both sides while allowing more airflow than a solid stockade privacy fence.
Stockade Wood Privacy Fence
Stockade wood fencing is the traditional choice for full backyard privacy. Vertical boards are installed closely together to create a solid wood fence that separates outdoor living areas and neighboring properties.
Horizontal Wood Fence Installation.
A horizontal wood fence changes the appearance of traditional privacy fencing by running the fence boards horizontally rather than vertically. The long horizontal lines create a clean, contemporary look while maintaining the warmth and natural character of real wood.
Florida Fence Pros builds horizontal wood fencing on site for Southwest Florida properties. The layout can be configured for substantial privacy or with intentional spacing where a semi-private design and additional airflow are preferred.
Wood Privacy Fence Installation.
A wood privacy fence provides a natural barrier around backyards, outdoor living areas and property lines. For homeowners who want substantial separation from neighboring properties, traditional wood fencing remains one of the most recognizable privacy-fence options.
Florida Fence Pros installs pressure-treated wood privacy fencing throughout Southwest Florida. Stockade fencing uses closely installed vertical boards to create a solid fence line while maintaining the natural appearance and texture of real wood.
Pressure-Treated Wood Fencing.
Florida Fence Pros uses pressure-treated wood for our standard exterior wood fence installations. Treated lumber is manufactured for outdoor applications and can be used to build stockade privacy fences, shadowbox designs, horizontal fencing and matching wood gates.
Exterior Fence Material
Pressure-treated lumber is intended for exterior use and provides the natural appearance of wood while being prepared for outdoor exposure.
Built On Site
Wood fencing can be constructed around the property layout rather than relying on a single manufactured panel style.
Multiple Fence Styles
The same basic material can be configured as stockade, shadowbox, horizontal privacy or semi-private fencing.
Natural Wood Character
Grain, knots and color variation are normal characteristics of real lumber and contribute to the natural appearance of a wood fence.
Understanding Natural Wood
Wood is a natural material and will change as it is exposed to Southwest Florida weather. Color variation, checking, minor cracking, shrinking, expansion and weathering can occur naturally over time. These characteristics are different from manufactured materials such as vinyl or aluminum and are part of owning a real wood fence.
Stockade vs. Shadowbox Wood Fence.
Stockade and shadowbox are two traditional wood fencing options, but they create different levels of privacy, airflow and appearance. The right choice depends on what you want the fence to accomplish on your property.
Stockade Wood Fence
A stockade wood fence uses vertical boards installed closely together to create a solid privacy barrier. It is a straightforward choice for homeowners whose primary goal is backyard or property-line privacy.
- Strongest privacy of the two styles
- Traditional vertical wood-fence appearance
- Closely installed fence boards
- Good fit for backyards and property lines
- Matching wood gates available
Shadowbox Wood Fence
A shadowbox wood fence alternates boards on opposite sides of the horizontal rails. This creates a more dimensional appearance and allows additional airflow while still providing substantial separation.
- Finished appearance from both directions
- Additional airflow through the fence
- Alternating vertical board configuration
- Substantial visual separation
- Matching gate options available
Which Wood Fence Is Right for Your Property?
Choose stockade when maximum visual privacy is the priority. Consider shadowbox when you want substantial separation with more airflow and a finished appearance from both sides. We can review both options during your estimate.
Custom Wood Fence Gates.
Gates should be planned as part of the wood fence rather than treated as an afterthought. Florida Fence Pros builds wood pedestrian and double gates to coordinate with the selected fence style and provide practical access to the property.
Wood Walk Gates
Pedestrian gates can be incorporated into stockade, shadowbox and horizontal wood fencing to provide convenient access between yards, side areas and outdoor spaces.
Wood Double Gates
Double-gate openings can provide wider access for lawn equipment, trailers and other property needs while maintaining the appearance of the surrounding wood fence.
Built to Match the Fence
Gate board orientation and appearance can be coordinated with the surrounding stockade, shadowbox or horizontal wood fence for a consistent finished installation.
Include Your Gate Needs During the Estimate
Let us know where pedestrian or wider equipment access is needed so gate locations and opening sizes can be planned with the overall wood fence layout.
Wood Fence Repair & Replacement.
Damage to a wood fence does not always mean the entire fence needs to be replaced. Florida Fence Pros can evaluate existing wood fencing and determine whether a targeted repair or a larger replacement project makes more sense for the condition of the fence.
Repairing an Existing Wood Fence
Wood fence repair can make sense when damage is limited to specific sections and the remaining fence is still in serviceable condition. The existing fence should be evaluated as a complete system before deciding how much should be repaired.
- Damaged or missing fence boards
- Isolated damaged fence sections
- Gate repair and adjustment
- Storm-related fence damage
- Evaluation of existing posts and framing
When Replacement Makes More Sense
When deterioration or damage affects a substantial portion of the fence, continuing to repair individual areas may not provide the best long-term result. Complete replacement allows the fence line, posts, framing, boards and gates to be addressed as one new installation.
- Multiple deteriorated fence sections
- Widespread post or framing problems
- Significant storm damage
- Older fencing requiring repeated repairs
- Changing to a different wood fence style
Repair It or Replace It?
The right answer depends on the condition and age of the existing fence, how much of it is affected and what you want from the finished project. We can review the existing fence and discuss the practical options during your appointment.

Wood Fencing FAQs.
Answers to common questions about wood fence installation, materials, styles, maintenance and permitting in Southwest Florida.
What type of wood do you use for wood fencing?
Florida Fence Pros uses pressure-treated lumber for our standard exterior wood fence installations. The material can be configured for stockade privacy, shadowbox, horizontal and semi-private fence designs.
What is the best wood fence style for privacy?
A traditional stockade wood fence is a strong choice when maximum visual privacy is the primary goal because the vertical boards are installed closely together. Horizontal privacy fencing is another option for homeowners who want substantial privacy with a more contemporary appearance.
What is the difference between stockade and shadowbox fencing?
Stockade fencing uses closely installed boards to create a more solid privacy barrier. A shadowbox wood fence alternates boards on opposite sides of the rails, creating a finished appearance from both directions while allowing additional airflow through the fence.
Do you install horizontal wood fencing?
Yes. Florida Fence Pros installs horizontal wood fencing in privacy, shadowbox and semi-private configurations. Horizontal fence designs provide a more contemporary appearance than traditional vertical wood fencing.
Does a wood fence require maintenance?
Wood is a natural exterior material and will weather over time. Color changes, checking, shrinking, expansion and minor cracking can occur naturally. Property owners may choose to clean, seal or stain their fencing after the lumber has had appropriate time to dry and weather.
Do I need a permit for a wood fence in Southwest Florida?
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and project. Florida Fence Pros handles applicable fence permitting for our installations. Properties located within an HOA or architectural-review community may also require separate community approval before installation.
Can you repair an existing wood fence?
Yes. Wood fence repair may be practical when damage is limited and the remaining fence is still serviceable. When deterioration affects a substantial portion of the fence, replacement may provide a better long-term solution. We can evaluate the existing fence and discuss both options.
How long does wood fence installation take?
Many standard residential wood fence installations can be completed in approximately one day once permitting, approvals, utility locating and materials are ready. Projects involving existing-fence removal, larger properties, custom layouts or multiple gates may require additional installation time.
