Wood Fence Styles
A traditional solid-board privacy fence for creating a defined, private backyard.
Overlapping pickets provide privacy while giving the fence a dimensional finished appearance.
Alternating boards create an attractive appearance on both sides while allowing some airflow.
Horizontal trim and a top cap give a wood privacy fence a more finished architectural appearance.
Premium Upgrade • Centre, Alabama Project
For customers looking for additional long-term support, Hooks Fence Company offers a King+ style steel-post upgrade. Instead of relying on a conventional wood post in the ground, the system uses a galvanized steel pole concealed within the wood structure.
The steel foundation addresses two common weak points of conventional wood posts: ground-level decay and movement or warping of the structural post. The finished fence still retains the appearance of a traditional wood fence.
Why consider the upgrade? The steel posts cost more than a conventional wood-post installation, so there is an upcharge. For customers planning to keep their fence for many years, the added structural support can be worthwhile—similar to paying more up front to reduce exposure to common post failures later.
Mr. Fence's published King Plus specifications describe galvanized steel poles driven four feet into the ground and concealed in wood. Their current published specification lists Schedule 20, 2.5-inch steel posts with wind resistance up to 112 mph. Hooks Fence Company will confirm the exact materials and specifications proposed for your individual project before installation.

If a product is installed incorrectly, labor required to correct the installation is included. Wood itself is a natural material and is not covered as a manufactured-material warranty.
Wood Gate Options • Attalla, Alabama Project
Our Economy Wooden Gate Frame is a straightforward option for customers who need a functional gate as part of a wood privacy fence while keeping the gate construction economical.
This Attalla project shows the construction side of the gate, including the wood frame and diagonal brace. A diagonal brace helps triangulate a rectangular gate frame so it resists racking and sagging under its own weight.
Gate size, hinge placement, post strength and the weight of the finished gate all matter. Hooks Fence Company can help determine the appropriate gate construction for the opening and intended use.

Upgraded Gate Option • Guntersville, Alabama Project
Customers who want additional strength and long-term rigidity can upgrade a wood privacy gate from our Economy Wooden Gate Frame to a heavy-duty metal frame.
The rigid metal frame carries the gate while wood pickets are added to maintain the appearance of the surrounding privacy fence. Compared with an all-wood frame, a properly fabricated metal frame is better able to hold its shape and resist the racking and sagging that can develop as wood changes with weather and age.
This is an upgraded option with a small additional charge. For many customers, the extra cost is worthwhile for a gate that receives frequent use or where greater long-term stability is desired.
Recommended for greater long-term durability.
