This custom-built board-on-board cedar fence was designed to provide lasting privacy, security, and architectural refinement for a residential property. Crafted from premium Western red cedar, the structure offers a timeless blend of natural beauty and high performance—delivering a clean, consistent look from every angle. The board-on-board configuration not only enhances privacy by eliminating visual gaps but also contributes to the fence’s robust construction, capable of withstanding years of exposure to the elements.
Each vertical board is hand-selected for grain and tone, highlighting cedar’s warm, reddish hues and signature texture. Naturally resistant to decay, insects, and warping, the cedar was left untreated to allow for graceful aging, or optionally sealable for homeowners who wish to preserve its golden color over time. The frame is reinforced with pressure-treated horizontal rails, which provide structural rigidity and ensure the fence maintains its alignment through seasonal shifts, wind exposure, and soil movement.
Attention to hardware and joinery elevates this fence from standard to standout. Stainless steel fasteners were used throughout to prevent rust and staining, ensuring long-term durability and a clean finish. Sleek black powder-coated steel gate posts punctuate key access points, offering both a modern visual contrast and critical structural reinforcement. The custom-fabricated gate frames, fully welded for strength, are equipped with self-closing hinges and keyed latches—adding a layer of security and day-to-day convenience for the homeowners, guests, and service providers alike.
From the layout and material selection to the final installation, every element of this fence was approached with intention and craftsmanship. The result is not just a boundary, but a defining feature of the property—one that elevates curb appeal, adds real value, and provides peace of mind with its strength, style, and enduring presence. This project stands as a prime example of what happens when thoughtful design meets quality materials and precision execution.
The primary goal of this project was to construct a high-end, long-lasting privacy fence that seamlessly integrates form and function. The client sought a solution that would offer full visual privacy, long-term reliability, and an aesthetic that enhanced the overall character of the property. A board-on-board cedar design was selected for its proven ability to deliver all three—creating a fence that is as sturdy and secure as it is visually appealing.
In addition to providing day-to-day privacy and weather resistance, this build aimed to elevate the property’s appearance with premium materials and precise craftsmanship. Durability, minimal maintenance, and value retention were central to every design and construction decision—from the framing and fasteners to the final finish.

These objectives guided every phase of the project—from early design consultations to material sourcing and precision installation. The finished product is more than a functional perimeter—it’s a carefully considered architectural element that adds long-lasting beauty, protection, and value to the home. This board-on-board cedar fence exemplifies the level of care and craftsmanship Sunno Construction brings to every outdoor build.
