Do you want your home to stand out from the rest of the block? A modern horizontal fence makes your home do just that. This contemporary twist on a classic makes a statement in a sea of vertical fences, adding style, security, and privacy to your property.

Cedar Mountain Fence Company has been bringing our customers' visions to life for over four decades. Our custom fences grace properties throughout Illinois. Let us design a horizontal fence solution that transforms your outdoor space.

Horizontal plank fences have become a fresh alternative to classic vertical fencing. Here's how these fences add value:

• Modern aesthetic: The clean lines create a sleek, stylish look that complements contemporary homes. 
• Unique design: A horizontal fence offers visual interest. It gives your property a distinct character. 
• Space illusion: Horizontal fences can make your yard appear larger by drawing the eye along the length of the slats.
• Enhanced privacy: A solid horizontal slat fence creates a secluded sanctuary.
• Strength and stability: We use tough materials and fabrication for strong, stable fences. The horizontal boards protect against the elements and offer more wind resistance. 

A wood picket fence has timeless appeal. Many homeowners appreciate wood's rich hues, unique textures, and natural beauty. Cedar Mountain Fence Company uses the highest-quality cedar for our picket fences. This durable wood resists decay, rot, and insects, making it ideal for the outdoors. 

Wood needs extra care compared to some other materials. Regular inspections, cleaning, staining, and sealing keep your wood picket fence pristine. Our wood fences come pre-stained with Ready Seal Stain, which protects the fence from weathering, warping, rot, and pest infestation. 

Vinyl gives you the traditional white picket fence look with less maintenance. Made from durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC), vinyl picket fences offer exceptional durability and endurance. Weather-resistant vinyl can face whatever Mother Nature dishes out. A UV-resistant coating defies extreme temperatures, color fading, and moisture. With proper installation, your vinyl fence could last up to 20 years. 

You have a few options when deciding on the ideal horizontal fence for your property. Popular choices include:

• Horizontal plank fence: Customize the space between the boards for more or less visibility.
• Horizontal privacy fence: If privacy is a priority, choose a board-on-board horizontal fence. The lack of gaps creates a solid barrier, protecting your yard from view. 
• Split rail fence: You may recognize this fence style from ranches, farms, or country estates. Split rail fences are characterized by spaced horizontal rails set in vertical posts for a rustic aesthetic. 
• Horizontal shadowbox fence: Shadowbox fences have alternating slats on both sides of the fence posts, creating a staggered effect and a shadow pattern. They offer privacy while allowing airflow through the gaps. 

Durability and weather resistance are key to long-lasting fences. At Cedar Mountain Fence Company, we source high-quality materials from trusted local suppliers. Choose from wood or vinyl.

Wood has remained a favorite fencing material for centuries for good reason. Its distinct textures, unique grains, and rich hues inspire a sense of warmth. Wood fences make homes feel more inviting. Eco-conscious homeowners appreciate wood's sustainability. This readily available natural resource is cost-effective and kinder to the environment. 

We use beautiful, durable cedar for our wood fences. Oils within cedar make it resistant to decay, rot, insect infestation, and moisture. Pre-staining the wood brings out its natural beauty while creating a protective barrier. 

A wood fence needs care to keep it looking and performing its best. Maintenance tasks include:

• Regular inspections and cleaning.
• Repairing damaged sections.
• Staining and sealing the fence every few years.
