ShadowBox Fence FAQs
A shadowbox fence uses alternating pickets on each side of the rail to create a semi private fence that screens sightlines while allowing airflow. From most angles you get strong privacy, from straight on you may see light between boards. With typical spacing, expect about 60 to 80 percent privacy and a softer, upscale look for homes in Rogers, Bentonville, and Springdale.
Cedar offers natural rot resistance, lighter weight, and richer color, which makes staining easier and movement more predictable. Pressure treated pine is more budget friendly and very strong, which is great for families and pets. Fence Guys installs both options and can recommend board width, picket spacing, and stain choices based on your yard, sun exposure, and budget.
Yes, the alternating pickets allow wind to pass through, which reduces wind load compared to a solid stockade fence. This design can minimize panel stress in stormy Northwest Arkansas weather. We also recommend proper post depth, quality fasteners, and optional metal posts for added longevity.
Most HOAs permit shadowbox fences, typically at 6 feet in backyards and 4 feet in front yards, but rules vary by subdivision. Cities may require permits or have corner visibility and property line rules. Fence Guys helps you review HOA guidelines and local codes so your semi private fence is compliant before installation begins.
Plan on a professional clean and stain to seal the wood soon after installation once moisture is appropriate, then refresh every 2 to 3 years depending on sun and sprinkler exposure. Stain protects against UV, moisture, and mildew, and it keeps cedar and pine looking consistent. Our team offers stain and seal services with color options that match your home and landscape.
Yes, popular upgrades include walk gates and double drive gates, cap and trim, decorative post tops, and hidden steel or PostMaster style posts for strength. Most residential projects install in 1 to 3 days depending on footage, terrain, and gate count. Fence Guys provides a clear schedule, clean worksite practices, and a walkthrough at completion so you are confident in the result.
