Good side on both sides
No back of the fence facing the neighbor.
Wood Fences
Shadowbox fences that look finished from both sides and let the breeze through
Boards alternate on each side of the rails, so the fence looks good from both sides and gives you privacy while letting air move.

A shadowbox fence places boards on alternating sides of the rails. From straight on it looks solid, but from an angle you can see the airflow between the boards. That makes it a favorite for neighborhoods that ask for a good side facing out, for yards with strong wind and for owners who do not want either side to look like the back of a fence.
We build shadowbox fences for homeowners in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. We lay out the board spacing carefully, use sturdy rails and posts and finish the top with a cap if you like, so the fence is neat and neighborly.

FAQ
Common questions about shadowbox fences
Is a shadowbox fence private?
Face-on it looks solid. From a sharp angle there are narrow sight lines, so it gives strong but not total privacy.
Is it good for windy areas?
Yes. The gaps between boards let wind pass, which reduces the load on posts and rails.
Do both sides look the same?
Yes, which is the point. Neither side is the back of the fence.
