Cedar Three Board Fence in Hampton Roads

Property Definition with Open-Air Character

The three board fence — also called a three-rail fence — is the defining aesthetic of ranch and country properties, and it translates beautifully to Hampton Roads residential settings. Three horizontal cedar boards run between posts with open space between them, creating a clean boundary that defines your property without walling it off from the world.

This style is popular along driveways, front yards, and large rear properties where you want to mark the boundaries and add curb appeal without the visual weight of a solid privacy fence. Cedar is our preferred material for this style — the natural grain and warm color look exceptional in the open design, and it weathers gracefully to silver-gray over time. Pressure-treated pine is also available for a more budget-friendly option.

The three board style pairs beautifully with landscaping, gardens, and flowering plants. The open design lets light and air through freely, which plants love. We can also add welded wire mesh between rails if you want the three board aesthetic with added pet or livestock containment.
