A backyard fence can be a beautiful and practical addition to your home. A fence provides a sure boundary; it lets people know what property belongs to you. It also will keep your children and pets within bounds and give you privacy if you choose a privacy fence. Your fence can raise your home value, too, not only because of its practical benefits but because of the beauty it adds, too. If a privacy fence is what you want, consider these popular fence panel designs.
Popular Fence Panel Designs
Straight
The most simple design for a privacy fence panel is a straight, horizontal top. The pickets, the vertical boards that make up the fence panel, could be exposed at the top, or they could be covered by a horizontal rail. If they are exposed, they can be cut into a number of decorative styles. For every fence panel style, you can choose different picket top styles in addition.
Arched
Another option is an arched fence panel. It will create the effect of a pattern of gentle hills around your home. It creates more interest than a straight fence and adds a little extra height for more privacy.
Scalloped
A little less popular than the arched fence panel, the scalloped fence is the opposite. As the name implies, it has a swooping effect. The top of each panel is like a garland around your property, adding a charming style that you don’t see every day but provides sufficient privacy.
Staggered
The staggered fence panel is horizontal with pickets at staggered heights. The pickets alternate in height. In this design, there may or may not be a horizontal top rail that caps off the panel. Regardless, the picket tops that are exposed are often highly decorative.
Fence Post Caps & Picket Tops
Connecting every fence panel together is a fence post. As part of your overall fence design, consider the fence post caps an opportunity to make your fence all the more attractive.
As for picket tops, you can choose between many styles, including:
- Square
- Dog ear
- Pointed
- Rounded
- Gothic
- Pyramidal
