The craft
A fence is only as good as its posts.
A good fence starts with well-installed posts. Soil conditions, drainage and seasonal ground movement all affect how a fence holds its shape. Planning the foundations carefully helps keep panels aligned and gates working smoothly.
Acorn Decks builds wood fences and custom gates around your yard’s layout and privacy needs. From post placement to boards and hardware, we focus on the details that make your fence practical, attractive and easy to use.
choose your fence
Three styles, three jobs.
Choose a fence style that suits your privacy needs, budget and backyard. Compare board-on-board, lattice-top and horizontal designs, with custom gates to complete your project. Costs compare similar fence lengths and heights. Final pricing depends on materials, design and site conditions. Wood care varies by finish and exposure.
Board-on-Board
Overlapping boards create a layered wood fence with added privacy. A practical choice for shared boundaries, with the layout and finish discussed before installation.
Privacy & Lattice-Top
Vertical wood boards provide backyard privacy, with an optional lattice top for a decorative finish. Choose a height and layout suited to your property and local requirements.
Horizontal Slat
Horizontal boards create a modern backdrop for your backyard. Board width, spacing and finish shape the look, with privacy levels depending on the design you choose.
The gate
Custom gates. Everyday ease.
Your gate should make access easy while fitting the style of your fence. Whether you need a garden entrance or a wider opening for equipment, the design starts with how you’ll use it.
Acorn Decks plans each gate around its width, weight and supporting posts. A well-supported frame, suitable hinges and a properly aligned latch help it open and close smoothly. We’ll discuss the layout and hardware options before construction.
