  • Chain link with privacy slats: slats woven through the mesh. Chain link

Height and rules

Most backyard privacy fences are 6 feet tall, but the maximum height depends on your city or county code and your HOA, and front-yard fences are usually limited to lower heights. Check our HOA fence guide and fence permits page before you plan.

Privacy and wind

Solid privacy panels catch more wind than open styles. In exposed coastal spots, semi-privacy or shadowbox lets some air through while still blocking most of the view, and strong posts matter most whatever you choose.

What's the most private fence?

Wood board on board or a solid vinyl privacy fence.

How tall can a privacy fence be?

Many codes and HOAs want the finished side facing out. Shadowbox looks finished from both sides, which avoids the question.
