Semi-privacy fencing is not as common, but some people prefer it Semi-privacy fences have gaps between the pickets. Typically, semi-privacy fencing is a premium and is often 15-20% higher in cost for materials. Semi-private usually refers to vinyl fencing, but technically that term could be applied to wood fencing as well. Picket fencing could be considered semi-privacy fencing, there is very little difference between the two. Picket fences usually have larger gaps between the pickets, versus semi-privacy fencing have tighter gaps between the fence pickets.

Privacy fences are common in the suburbs, especially when you have a pool or like to tan in the privacy of your own backyard. Privacy fencing is usually 6 feet tall, but also applies to 4 foot and 5 foot tall fences. The taller the fence, the better the privacy. 6 foot privacy fence is pretty standard. If you need something shorter than that, we can cut the panels to accommodate your request.

Vinyl Privacy Fence Company

Vinyl Privacy Fence

Vinyl privacy fence installation is all the rage right now in Illinois. Many homeowners prefer vinyl privacy fence over other materials due to its low maintenance characteristics. Vinyl privacy fence provides a tongue and groove style of fence picket so it offers the best privacy over other fence material options.

Wooden Privacy Fence

Now that you know vinyl fencing offers the BEST privacy, now lets talk about wood fencing. Why would you want a wooden fence versus a vinyl fence? Well, not everyone likes the look of a vinyl fence. It can appear "plasticky" and synthetic, which it is. Also, many homeowners prefer a more natural appearance, which wood obviously offers.



Cedar Privacy Fencing

Cedar privacy fences are the most common type of fence, hands down. They offer a low barrier to entry (low price point) and are very attractive when first installed. In the Schaumburg IL area, we get terrible weather. Chicagoland gets brutalized in the winter and summer, so cedar fences only last about 15-20 years tops without maintenance. With repairs and maintenance, you may get 30 years out of it, but that is extremely rare.


Cedar privacy fence comes in a handful of styles:

  • Dog ear
  • Flat top
  • Horizontal board
  • Custom- you choose!

The great thing about working with wood is, we can customize any look you like. All you have to do is provide us pictures and we build you a custom fence right in your backyard.
