Wood Fence Installation in Tampa
Rugged and Aesthetic
Tampa's historic bungalow neighborhoods were made for wood fences: picket out front, privacy or shadowbox in back, and a gate on the alley.
Wood · Tampa
Wood fences for Tampa homes.
We build traditional privacy, semi-privacy, shadowbox, board on board, modern horizontal, crossbuck, ranch rail and split rail, with optional trim and caps.
Owner-operated by Ethan Bodie from our Bradenton home base, about 46 road miles from Tampa. Every fence is overbuilt to the Saltline standard.
Local know-how
What matters in Tampa.
Oak roots

Alley lots
A privacy fence and drive gate on the alley side is a classic Tampa setup.
Design review
Historic district fences visible from the street may need review before the permit.
- Traditional PrivacyA classic solid fence with closely spaced vertical boards. A great choice when privacy is the priority.
- Semi-PrivacyProvides some privacy while allowing more light and airflow through the fence. A good middle ground between an open and solid fence.
- Ranch RailAn open, simple design that defines your property without blocking the view. A popular choice for larger lots and open landscapes.
- ShadowboxBoards are installed on alternating sides of the fence, creating a finished look from both sides while maintaining privacy and airflow. This makes all neighbors happy!
- Modern HorizontalA clean, contemporary style using horizontal boards instead of traditional vertical pickets. It gives your property a modern, updated look.
- Board on BoardOverlapping vertical boards create a solid, private fence with no gaps. It's a strong choice for homeowners looking for maximum privacy.
- CrossbuckA decorative style featuring diagonal braces between horizontal rails. It adds character while keeping the fence relatively open.
- Split RailA simple, rustic fence that defines your property without closing it in. Its open design works especially well with natural landscapes.
