Property Definition with Open-Air Character

The three board fence β€” also called a three-rail fence β€” 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 β€” 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.

Cedar Three Board Fence FAQs

No. The open rail design won't contain dogs or children β€” the gaps between boards are too large. The three board fence is better suited as a decorative boundary marker, property line definition, or driveway fence. If you need pet or child containment, we'd recommend a privacy or picket fence instead.

"We had Kempsville Fence build a 6-foot cedar privacy fence around our entire backyard β€” about 280 linear feet. The owner was on-site every day, the crew was professional and courteous, and they finished a day early. The fence looks absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend!"
