Fence styles
Privacy fences
Six- to eight-foot fences that close off the backyard, built to your neighborhood's height and style rules.
Overview
Full privacy, approved the first time
A privacy fence is the most requested project we build. Most are cedar, in side-by-side, board-on-board, or capped styles, stained to the HOA's color.
Height is where rules differ most. In The Woodlands, solid fences top out at 7'6", or 8'6" along major streets, with 2 more inches allowed for a cap. Many HOAs set 6 or 8 feet. In the City of Houston, a fence over 8 feet needs a permit.
- Built to your height limit.
- Finished side out, as most rules require.
- Three rails and deep posts for a straight fence.

Common questions
How tall can my privacy fence be?
Depends on your rules: in The Woodlands, 7’6” solid (8’6” on major streets); elsewhere usually what your HOA allows, up to 8 feet before a Houston permit is needed.
