Shadowbox fencing is a unique construction style that solves the common dilemma of needing privacy without creating a solid, air-tight wall. We build these by alternating vertical boards on both sides of a central rail so the gaps never line up. This double-sided design ensures the fence looks finished from both yards, making it an ideal choice for shared property lines in communities like Bee Cave and Lakeway.
Regarding privacy and performance, shadowbox fencing offers the following benefits:
- Visual Privacy: From almost any angle, the fence appears solid and provides high levels of seclusion for your backyard.
- Improved Airflow: Because the boards are offset rather than flush, wind and filtered sunlight can pass through. This reduced wind resistance is particularly beneficial during Texas storms as it puts less pressure on the structure.
- Modern Aesthetic: While it is a classic technique, we offer modern upgrades using charcoal or espresso stains that reveal the natural wood grain while matching contemporary design trends.
As Hays County’s Leader in Fencing Services, we typically recommend cedar for shadowbox installations because its natural oils provide excellent resistance to rot and insect damage. With over 20 years of experience, our team ensures these fences remain plumb and consistent even on the sloping terrain common in the Texas Hill Country.
