Pick your pattern
Every wood fence comes down to two choices: the board pattern and the top finish.
| Pattern | Privacy | Same both sides? | Lets wind through? | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular | Full; small gaps can open as boards dry | No, one finished side | No, solid face | $ |
| Board on board | Full; the overlap hides any gaps | No, one finished side | No, solid face | $$ |
| Shadow box | Good; see-through at an angle | Yes, same both sides | Yes, air passes through | $$ |
Relative pricing within wood shown $ to $$.
Cap & trim
On regular, board on board and shadow box
- Finished, custom look
- Cap covers board tops from rain and snow
- Helps hold the top line straight
No cap
On board on board and shadow box
- Clean, simple top line
- Fewer parts
Rule of thumb: Want the most privacy? Board on board. Sharing the line with a neighbor, or catching a lot of wind? Shadow box. Want a finished, custom look? Add cap & trim.
Real wood, real upkeep. Utah’s sun and dry air will gray bare wood and open small cracks if it isn’t kept up. Stain or seal it, and plan on a fresh coat every few years.

How little upkeep do you want? Vinyl just needs a rinse. Ornamental steel, Fence Trac and Trex never need stain or paint.

What neighbors say
In their words
"Atlas did a phenomenal job on our black 4 ft metal fencing! Our yard was not just a square to work with. We have different levels of cinder block retaining walls that are curved… Tyson went above and beyond to make the necessary alterations to make everything fit seamlessly and it turned out better than we could have expected!"
"Tyson was on the ball and communicated professionally and often. Every other fencing company we looked at ghosted us, or was flaky. Highly recommend!"
"Atlas did a FANTASTIC job on our fence. The customer service and communication was excellent. Very professional, and wonderful work!"
Wood fence questions
Which wood style gives the most privacy?
Board on board. The boards overlap, so there are no gaps even as the wood dries.
Which is best if I share the fence with a neighbor, or get a lot of wind?
Shadow box. It looks the same from both sides, and air passes through.
What is cap & trim?
A flat cap board across the top with a trim board below it. It gives a finished look, covers the board tops from rain and snow, and helps hold the top line straight. It is available on regular, board on board and shadow box.
Do you stain the fence?
No. We install natural wood and do not do custom staining. Utah sun and dry air gray bare wood and open small cracks, so plan to stain or seal it and refresh it every few years.
Which is the simplest option?
Regular: boards set side by side.
What heights can I get?
4 ft and 6 ft.
How fast will I get a quote?
You get a firm written quote within 24 hours of your free on-site estimate, and for most projects before we leave.
How long does installation take?
Most installs take 1 to 7 days on site. We set posts on day one and come back the following week to hang gates once the concrete has cured. Permits and the Blue Stakes utility locate typically take about 7 days before that.
