On this Paola, KS project we installed a 4 ft Western Red Cedar fence with dog-ear pickets set tight side by side, enclosing the backyard around the deck and side yard. The run follows the slope of the lot, with a single walk gate near the house and a double gate between the homes for wider access.

Paola, KS: 4 ft Western Cedar Privacy Fence

A Paola backyard enclosed in 4 ft Western Red Cedar dog-ear pickets — following a sloped yard, with a walk gate by the house and a double gate for mower and equipment access.

What the homeowner was up against

The homeowners wanted the backyard enclosed without a tall 6 ft wall blocking the open view behind the house.
The lot slopes away from the house and between the neighboring homes, so the fence had to follow uneven ground.
They needed everyday access by the house plus a wider opening in the side yard.

What we specified, and why

4 ft height for an enclosed yard that stays open

At 4 ft, the fence marks the yard and keeps it enclosed while leaving the view open from the deck. Our 4 ft vs 6 ft guide explains the cost and privacy trade-off.

Western Red Cedar pickets

Cedar was used for the pickets for its natural look and resistance to rot and insects. Sealing it after it dries out helps keep the color longer.

Following the slope

The fence line follows the grade across the backyard and side yard, so the bottom stays close to the ground along the run.

Two kinds of gates

A single walk gate sits next to the house, and a double gate with Z-brace frames and black strap hinges spans the side yard between the homes for a wider opening.

The result

A fully enclosed backyard in fresh Western Red Cedar that keeps the open view behind the house.
Easy everyday access through the walk gate, plus a wide double gate when more room is needed.
