Highland is a shadowbox-style wood fence designed with dog ear pickets that are spaced out 3 ½” and have a 1” overlap on the opposite side of the fence. The alternating pickets create spacing in the fence that allows for wind movement and breathability in your yard. This fence design is common for neighbors sharing the cost and wanting a similar appearance on each side of the property.
One of the most notable advantages of a Highland shadowbox-style fence is the alternating arrangement of the pickets. This design creates intentional spacing within the structure, allowing for wind to pass through the fence. This feature is particularly beneficial in areas prone to strong winds, as it reduces the pressure exerted on the fence, thereby enhancing its stability and longevity. Additionally, the spacing allows for air circulation, promoting breathability within the yard, which can be especially advantageous in maintaining a healthy garden or lawn.
