Privacy Fence Installation

In a growing community like Spring Hill, where new neighborhoods and development continue to bring homes closer together, a well-built privacy fence is no longer a luxury. It is an essential part of enjoying your outdoor space. At Affordable Fence, privacy fencing is one of our most requested services, and we have spent over 30 years perfecting the craft of building fences that deliver genuine seclusion, lasting durability, and a natural, attractive appearance that enhances your property.

Choosing the Right Privacy Fence Style

Privacy fencing is not one-size-fits-all, and the right style depends on your goals, your property, and your personal taste. We offer several proven privacy fence designs:

• Solid Board Privacy: Pickets are placed side by side with no space between them, creating a completely opaque fence. This is our most popular style for backyards, pool areas, and properties that border busy roads or commercial areas.
• Board-on-Board: Pickets are overlapped so that each board covers the gap left by the previous one. This provides full privacy from every viewing angle while allowing a small amount of airflow through the fence, which reduces wind load and helps the fence last longer in exposed areas.
• Shadow Box: Boards are alternated on each side of the fence rail, creating a fence that provides privacy from direct angles while allowing filtered light and air. This style looks equally finished from both sides, making it a great choice for front yards and shared boundary lines.
• Privacy with Lattice Top: A solid privacy section topped with a lattice panel that adds visual interest, allows light through, and increases overall height without the heavy, imposing feel of a solid wall.

Built to Follow Your Land

Spring Hill and the surrounding areas are known for their rolling hills and varied terrain. If you have ever seen a privacy fence with large triangular gaps at the bottom where the ground slopes away from pre-made panels, you know why on-site construction matters. At Affordable Fence, we do not use pre-assembled panels. Every section of your privacy fence is built on your property, with each picket cut and attached individually to follow the natural grade of your land.

This approach, known as racking, ensures that the bottom of your fence maintains consistent clearance from the ground whether your yard is flat, gently sloped, or features significant elevation changes. The result is a clean, professional appearance and a fence that provides privacy all the way to the ground, not just where the terrain is level.

Wood Privacy Fences: Natural Beauty

Wood remains the most popular choice for privacy fencing in Middle Tennessee, and we understand why. There is a warmth and natural character to a real wood fence that synthetic materials cannot fully replicate. We build our wood privacy fences using pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine, which resists termites, fungal decay, and moisture damage. For homeowners who want a premium look, we also offer Western Red Cedar, which features a rich grain pattern and natural aromatic oils that repel insects.

Standard heights for wood privacy fences are 6 feet, but we regularly build fences at 7 and 8 feet for homeowners who want maximum seclusion or need to meet specific requirements for pool enclosures or noise reduction. Post caps, decorative trim, and custom gate designs add personality and finish to your fence.

Staining for Protection & Style

A quality stain is the single best thing you can do to extend the life and beauty of a wood privacy fence. Stain penetrates into the wood fibers, providing protection from the inside out against UV rays, moisture, and mildew. We recommend allowing new pressure-treated wood to dry for 60 to 90 days before staining, then applying a premium semi-transparent or semi-solid stain that allows the natural grain to show through while providing rich, lasting color.

We offer professional staining services using top-quality products, and we can help you select a color that complements your home's exterior. With a fresh coat of stain every 2 to 3 years, your wood privacy fence can easily last 20 years or more.

Vinyl Privacy Fences: Zero Maintenance

If you prefer the idea of a privacy fence that never needs staining or painting, vinyl is an excellent alternative. Our vinyl privacy fences feature tongue-and-groove panels that interlock tightly, creating a seamless wall with no gaps. Available in white, tan, gray, and realistic wood-grain textures, vinyl privacy fencing looks attractive from both sides and can be cleaned with nothing more than a garden hose.
