At Freedom Fence & Railing, we know that fences have 2 jobs: to keep your yard your own – and to look good while doing so. See our ideas for the privacy fences that block a peeping neighbor’s line of sight and that make for an eye-popping HGTV-worthy backyard.

Most Popular Backyard Privacy Fence Ideas

Whether you just moved in, recently built a new swimming pool, or simply decided it was time to make your backyard truly tranquil, now is the right time to install a privacy fence. The most popular privacy fence styles include wood, vinyl, and the trendy aluminum framed vinyl privacy fences.

See each of these go-to privacy fence options and the different styles that are available – and learn why homeowners love owning each of them.

Wooden Privacy Fences – All wooden privacy fences feature tall pickets packed close enough together to block the view of your backyard. The different styles of wooden privacy fences come from the different wood species used in their construction. The most common types of lumber used in privacy fence design are a light pressure-treated wood or a distinct red cedar.

Here are some pros and cons you can expect from a wooden privacy fence:

✔️ Gorgeous Rustic Style

✔️ Affordable Price Point

❌ Maintenance Like Sealing or Re-Staining is Needed

❌ Shorter Lifespan than Other Styles

Vinyl Privacy Fences — The material behind some of the truly classic privacy fence ideas, vinyl can either have a plain and modern look or a luxurious and ornamental one. An elegantly simple privacy fence design will feature one-tone vinyl panels with limited top rail decoration. On the other hand, decorative designs will feature bold two-tone color combos and fancy rail decorations. Your vinyl fence will excel at keeping your yard your own — and all of the design options can help set the tone of your yard.

✔️ Simple or Ornamental Look

✔️ Limited Maintenance Needed

✔️ Long Lifespan

❌Decorative Styles are More Expensive

Aluminum Frame Privacy Fences — A style-forward type of fence, aluminum privacy fence options feature an aluminum frame around a vinyl panel. The vinyl panel provides the privacy while the aluminum brings sleek strength and a sharp color contrast. These fences are ideal for building a modern backyard with a one-of-a-kind style.

✔️ Eye-Catching Modern Look

✔️ No Maintenance Needed

✔️ Extremely Long Lifespan

❌ High Price Point
