Overview
What Is a Board & Lattice Wood Fence?
A board and lattice wood fence combines solid fence boards (providing full privacy) in the lower section with a decorative lattice panel above. The lattice top — typically 12 to 18 inches tall — adds architectural interest, allows light and air to flow through, and softens what would otherwise be a solid wall of wood. The result is a fence that feels less imposing than a solid privacy fence while maintaining complete visual privacy.
Board and lattice fencing is ideal for Houston homeowners who want the privacy of a 6-foot fence with a more decorative, finished appearance. The lattice section is also perfect for supporting climbing plants — jasmine, roses, and bougainvillea look stunning growing up the lattice top, creating a natural living fence element.
Materials & Construction
The lattice panel is typically 1.5-inch diagonal or square grid, cut from 0.5-inch thick cedar or treated pine lattice sheets. The lattice is framed within a 1×3 cedar border and attached to the top of the fence panel. The solid board section below uses dog ear or flat-top pickets. Total fence height including lattice is typically 7 or 8 feet.
All wood fencing installs include pressure-treated 4"x4" posts set in 36-inch concrete footings, galvanized hardware, and professional-grade installation. We offer optional staining, sealing, or painting to protect your investment and match your home's exterior color scheme.
Key Benefits
Privacy Plus Elegance
Full privacy below, decorative open lattice above — the perfect balance of function and aesthetics. More sophisticated than a plain solid privacy fence.
Climbing Plant Support
The lattice top is a natural trellis for climbing plants. Jasmine, bougainvillea, and Confederate rose look spectacular growing up a board-and-lattice fence.
Taller Without Imposing
The lattice section adds height (and privacy from upper-floor windows) without creating a solid wall effect. An 8-foot board-and-lattice fence feels lighter than a 6-foot solid fence.
Natural Beauty
Wood fencing offers warmth and natural character that no synthetic material can replicate. Each board's unique grain pattern makes your fence one-of-a-kind.
Customizable
Wood is the most customizable fencing material. It can be cut, shaped, stained, or painted to match any architectural style or HOA specification.
