and enduring materials.

FINISHES

Redwood fences for

all reasons

and it can discourage passers-by

from taking an occasional shortcut

across a carefully clipped lawn.

Fences are also great for those

who value privacy. Cozy spaces

can be fashioned for reading and

relaxing that are totally sheltered

from the outside world, or you can

section off larger areas—even an

entire yard—to form an area that is

personal and protected.

Fences also define areas for

specialized use, such as a pool and

patio, a dog run, or an area for a

private garden, while smaller

sections of fences can be employed

as an integral part of the property’s

overall landscaping design.

For the security-minded, a solid

surrounding structure serves as a

psychological, as well as a physical,

deterrent to intruders.

Depending on where your home

is located, noise and traffic from an

adjacent road can be bothersome, or

prevailing winds and harsh sunlight

may interfere with your enjoyment

of the outdoors. By softening

sounds and providing a barrier to

wind and sun, a fence can extend

the time you spend outdoors and

increase the pleasure of outdoor

living. In addition, by reshaping the

exterior spaces, a fence will con-

tribute to your home’s overall

ambiance, appearance and value.

There is something deeply

satisfying about a fence. Whether

we’re talking about a simple, rough-

hewn structure that meanders

around your property or an

intricately designed barrier for a

pool and patio, a fence adds quality

to your personal spaces.

A perimeter fence is an attractive

way to separate your property from

the neighbors and to more fully per-

sonalize the land around your home.

If there are children next door, a

solid fence can help keep baseballs

from rolling into your flower beds,

Window box design

This perimeter fence affords both

maximum privacy and an opportunity to

provide a backdrop for plantings. Though

projecting a highly finished look, the fence

is made from an economical grade of

redwood. The Merchantable grade

redwood used for the fenceboards con-

tains a combination

of heartwood and

sapwood. A 2x4

intermediate rail

adds design interest.

Sturdy screen divider

The screen divider has an attractively

massive look with diagonal fenceboards

adding a touch of lightness to the solid,

box-like design. Knot-containing garden

grades of redwood—Construction Heart

and Construction Common—are ideal for

a structure of this

type. These grades

provide the strength

and durability redwood

is known for at an

economical price.

Post-board-and-rail fence

Here is an ideal design for enclosing a

the boards can be varied to accommodate

a specified amount of

air flow and privacy.

Craftsman-style fence

This fence is characterized by the use of

rounded edges and custom craftsmanship.

fence echoes both the Japanese character

of the landscaping, and the Craftsman

elements of a classic

shingle house. Fence-

boards are spaced

apart allowing for a

visual connection

between the sculpted

plants and the

garden within.

Each 8-foot module of this geometrically-

shaped perimeter fence consists of 1x6’s

topped with five 18-inch squares crossed

with 2x4’s. This design adds character to

the post-and-board security fence.

A solid board fence of Construction

Heart redwood divides and makes private

a commonly shared yard behind a San

Francisco Victorian duplex. Lattice top and

finials add old-fashioned, romantic charm.

To distinguish two separate entrances, the

designer created this divider fence with

lacy redwood lattice panels. Both sides

present an equally finished look.
