Your Backyard Sanctuary, Sealed Off

Privacy Fencing

A backyard isn't truly relaxing if you feel like you're on display. A Precision Fencing privacy fence turns your yard into a genuine outdoor room — a place to grill, swim, let the kids and dogs run, or just unwind on the patio without an audience. Our privacy fences are typically six feet tall and built with overlapping or tightly fitted boards that completely block sightlines.

We build privacy fences in both board-on-board cedar/pine and solid vinyl, so you can choose the look and maintenance level that fits your home. Whatever you pick, we engineer it to handle the serious wind load that tall, solid fences face in open Northeast Indiana lots.

Why it matters.

  • 01
    Wood vs. Vinyl for Privacy

    Wood board-on-board is the most popular privacy build. Overlapping pickets guarantee zero gaps even as the wood naturally shrinks, and the style looks substantial and finished from both sides. Cedar offers natural rot resistance; treated pine offers strength at a lower price.

    Solid vinyl privacy panels deliver the same complete seclusion with zero maintenance — no staining, no replacing warped boards. They're especially popular around pools and on lots where the homeowner never wants to think about upkeep again.

  • 02
    Engineered for Wind & Stability

    A six-foot solid fence is essentially a sail. If it isn't built right, the first big Indiana windstorm will lean it or lay it flat. We counter that with deeper, wider post footings, closer post spacing where needed, and heavy-duty concrete crowns that shed water. On exposed lots we can recommend a shadowbox or lattice-top design that lets some wind pass through while still protecting your privacy.

  • 03
    Noise, Security & Property Value

    Beyond seclusion, a solid privacy fence meaningfully dampens road and neighbor noise and creates a secure barrier that keeps pets in and wandering eyes out. It also defines your property cleanly, which buyers notice — a quality privacy fence is one of the few backyard upgrades that adds both daily enjoyment and resale appeal.

Styles & Specifications

What goes in the ground.

Dog-Ear Privacy

Full privacy4', 5', 6'

The classic Midwest privacy fence. Six-inch pickets run edge to edge with the top corners clipped at an angle, giving you a solid wall with a softer top line than a flat-top fence.

Recommended For

Backyards, pool enclosures, and dog runs where you want a solid barrier at the best price per foot.

Specifications

Board-on-Board

Full privacy — stays solid6'

Pickets overlap each other by roughly a third instead of butting edge to edge. When the wood dries and shrinks through its first summer, the overlap absorbs the movement and you still can't see through the fence.

Recommended For

Homeowners who want genuinely zero gaps for the life of the fence and are willing to pay for the extra material.

Shadowbox (Good Neighbor)

Semi-private5', 6'

Pickets alternate between the front and back of the rails. The fence looks identical from both yards and air moves through it, which makes it far more forgiving on exposed, windy property lines.

Recommended For

Shared property lines and HOA neighborhoods that require a finished face on both sides.

Pre-Stained Privacy

Full privacy6'

The same privacy build, but every board arrives already stained and sealed on all four sides. The fence is finished the day we leave, including the faces you could never reach with a brush once it's standing.

Recommended For

Anyone who doesn't want to spend a weekend staining a fence next spring, and anyone building against a tight property line.

Steel-Post Privacy

Full privacy6'

A wood fence built on hidden galvanized steel posts instead of 4x4s. The steel disappears inside the fence line, so neither neighbor gets the "ugly side," and the part that normally rots — the wood post at grade — isn't there.

Recommended For

Open, windy lots, wet ground, and anyone who has already replaced a rotted wood post once.

Specifications

Posts
PostMaster+ steel line/end — 9' or 12'
Wind rating
Engineered to stand at 70+ mph
Warranty
Lifetime limited warranty on the post
Appearance
True good-neighbor — no post or rail shows on either side

Homeland Solid Privacy

Full privacy6'

Tongue-and-groove vinyl panels with an aluminum insert running through the bottom rail. The insert is what keeps a six-foot vinyl panel from sagging in the middle over time — it's the difference between vinyl that still looks straight in year ten and vinyl that doesn't.

Recommended For

Homeowners who want a privacy fence they never have to stain, seal, or replace boards on.

Tri-Max II Solid Privacy

Full privacy6'

Digger Specialties' Tri-Max II privacy panel, available in three colors rather than the usual white-only. Tan and mocha read much closer to a stained wood fence from the street while behaving like vinyl.

Recommended For

Anyone who wants vinyl's maintenance but not the bright-white look.

01How tall can my privacy fence be?

Most residential privacy fences are six feet tall, which is the typical maximum allowed in backyards across Allen County and surrounding communities. Front-yard height limits are lower. We confirm your specific local code during the estimate.

02Which is better for privacy — wood or vinyl?

Both fully block sightlines. Wood board-on-board is more affordable up front and offers a natural look; vinyl costs more but requires zero maintenance. We'll help you weigh budget, style, and upkeep on your free estimate.

03Will a privacy fence really reduce noise?

A tall, solid, gapless fence noticeably dampens road and neighbor noise. It won't eliminate sound entirely, but combined with the seclusion it provides, most homeowners find their backyard far more peaceful.

04Do I need a permit for a privacy fence?

Often yes, depending on your city or HOA. We help you navigate permit requirements and pull what's needed so your fence is fully compliant.

05How do you keep a tall fence from blowing over?

Deeper, wider concrete footings, proper post spacing, and — on exposed lots — shadowbox or lattice-top designs that let wind pass through. Engineering for wind load is built into every privacy fence we install.
