Lattice Top Privacy Fence in Hampton Roads
Privacy at the base, decorative lattice on top. This two-part style combines solid privacy below with open lattice above — letting light and air in while keeping what matters private.
Privacy Below, Decorative Detail Above
The lattice top fence is really two fences in one. The lower section — typically 4 to 5 feet of solid cedar or pressure-treated pine pickets — gives you full privacy where it counts. The upper section, 1 to 2 feet of open lattice panel, adds a decorative element that lets light and air filter through while giving the fence a distinct, finished character.
This style is especially popular for garden borders, patio enclosures, and backyard spaces where you want privacy without complete visual separation. The open lattice on top allows dappled light into garden beds and prevents the fence from feeling oppressive or overly enclosed. Cedar is the standard material, though pressure-treated pine is available for a more budget-friendly approach.
The lattice top is also a favorite for anyone who wants to grow climbing plants. Jasmine, wisteria, climbing roses, and other vines grab onto the lattice naturally and can transform your fence into a living wall of color and fragrance — a popular choice in Hampton Roads gardens throughout the spring and summer.

Lattice Top Fence FAQs
The most common configuration is 6 feet total: approximately 4.5 feet of solid privacy section at the bottom, topped by 1.5 feet of lattice. But this is fully customizable — we can adjust both the solid and lattice sections to suit your specific height and privacy needs.
"We had Kempsville Fence build a 6-foot cedar privacy fence around our entire backyard — 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!"
