Top Cap
Our Board on Board Wood Privacy fences come standard with the cedar side trim. The 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 cedar top cap is an available upgrade option, which provides the fence with a decorative finish. The top cap also adds even more sturdiness and stability, providing additional longevity to your fence, although many customers choose this option for the design and curb appeal that the top cap adds to the fence. Additionally, adding a cap to the top of the fence prevents water from getting down inside the overlapping pickets.

Boxed Posts

Although metal posts are recommended (and widely popular) for the construction of both residential and commercial fences in Flower Mound, due to the weather and the soil here, it is a concept that is unique to our area. Many homeowners who move to Flower Mound from other states are not familiar with metal posts, and prefer the look of the traditional wood posts. We offer boxed posts as an option for homeowners who prefer the traditional wood post look. Boxed Posts are metal posts that are “boxed in” on three sides, hiding the metal posts from view while still providing the necessary support for a long lasting fence in Flower Mound. Boxed posts are available as an upgrade, and can be plain as seen below on the right, or built with “fluted” wood, as shown on the left, for an even more decorative look.

Stacked Trim
Our privacy wood fences are built standard with the side trim. Additional, decorative trim can be added for a tiered finish. This is a very popular option among our customers, especially in conjunction with the top cap as shown below.

Arched Trim & Corbels

Arched trim is an upgrade option that we offer to that gives our customers to customize their fence and give it a unique finish. Corbels come in many shapes and sizes, and decorative metal ornaments can be added such as stars, initials, or other decals offering a truly unique and personalized wood fence.

Decorative Ornaments & Windows
A decorative ornament can set your fence apart from other fences. Metal ornaments are typically added to gates, but can also be added to a fence to create a window. Fence windows are convenient for dog owners, because sometimes letting your dog see out of the fence will satisfy his curiosity reducing his desire to dig out or jump over the fence. If you want to maintain complete privacy for your backyard, ornaments can be attached to the fence and framed out without the window behind it.
