Shadowbox and Board-on-Board Fences
Shadowbox and board-on-board fences alternate or overlap boards so the fence looks full from both sides. Air moves through, wind loads drop and your neighbor gets a good-looking side too.

Common questions
Is a shadowbox fence private?
It blocks most sightlines, and angled views see a little less than straight on.
Does it cost more?
It uses more boards than flat panels, so it often costs more, and many owners like the finish.
