Create a more sheltered outdoor space with a shadow box fence planned around your property, access points, and preferred wood-fence appearance.
ADDED SCREENING. CHARACTER ON BOTH SIDES.
THE NORTH FENCE INC. / SHADOW BOX FENCE
A shadow box fence uses alternating boards on opposite sides of the rails for a layered appearance. The North Fence Inc. can help you discuss board spacing, the top profile, height, and gates for your project.
Explore four top profiles: Arch, Dog Ear, Flat Top, and Scallop. Each brings a different finish to the alternating-board shadow box design.
A rounded top profile rises toward the center of each panel, creating a softer, decorative line between the posts.
Clipped upper corners on the individual boards give this style its familiar dog-ear finish and a traditional wood-fence appearance.
A straight, level top creates a clean, consistent line that suits a simple, understated fence design.
A curved top dips toward the center of each panel and rises at the posts, adding a decorative shape to the fence line.
Make room for a more private backyard.
Plan a shadow box fence around patios, gardens, and yard boundaries. Consider views from neighboring properties and how gates connect the spaces you use.

A few things to know as you plan your shadow box fence project.
LET’S TALK
Alternating boards reduce direct views, but visibility can remain at an angle depending on spacing. Discuss the screening level you want before selecting the layout.
Bring reference photos to discuss the top profile, board arrangement, spacing, height, and gate appearance. The team will confirm the styles available for your project.
Identify the access needed for people, lawn equipment, or deliveries. Gate placement and width should be discussed alongside the fence route.
