Board-on-Board Fencing in North Dallas

What Is a Board-on-Board Fence?

A board-on-board fence is built so each cedar picket overlaps its neighbor, leaving no gaps anywhere along the run. Because the boards overlap, the fence stays solid even as the wood naturally dries and shrinks — and it looks finished and attractive from both sides, with no exposed rails or posts on the back.

Why North Dallas Homeowners Choose Board-on-Board

Board-on-board gives you total privacy that stays gap-free over time, since the overlap covers any movement as the cedar weathers. It also presents the same upscale, finished look on both sides — which makes it ideal for shared property lines and good-neighbor situations where everyone sees a clean face. If you like the gap-free idea, compare it with a standard privacy fence or dress it up with a cap-and-trim upgrade.

How We Build It

We build board-on-board fences from high-quality cedar with overlapping pickets on hidden U-channel steel posts set in concrete. The rails seat into the channel, the pickets mount to the rails like any cedar fence — alternating front and back so they overlap — and a cover picket hides the post. The result is a finished, all-wood fence on a frame set more than two feet deep in concrete to resist North Texas clay heave. More on cedar ›

What Affects the Cost of a Board-on-Board Fence

Cost depends on the fence height (6 ft vs. 8 ft), total linear footage, the number and type of gates, terrain, and any upgrades like cap-and-trim or staining. Because the overlap uses more pickets than a standard privacy fence, footage matters — so we measure your property and provide a free, itemized written quote.
