No. 10 Fences & Gates · Classic

Dark Wood Board-and-Batten Privacy Fence

A tall board-and-batten privacy fence of dark-stained wood runs along the green lawn beside dense planting of ferns, hostas, and flowering shrubs fronting a shingled house with stone porch columns.

Design notes

Classic design favours balance and proportion. Look for symmetry from the back door, traditional materials — stone, brick, terracotta, painted timber — furnishings that belong to the house rather than the season, and planting with structure: hedges, borders and trees placed to frame the view.

What to look for

  • Height, and whether the top is capped or open
  • Which side faces out and how posts are spaced
  • Planting on both sides so the fence reads as a hedge line
