Haven’t heard of shadowbox fences? You probably have, and it’s likely that you’ve seen them before; you just didn’t realize what they were called. Functionally, they’re similar to a conventional privacy fence but with one important distinction.
You know how a standard privacy fence looks fantastic if you’re on the outside of the fence looking in, but if you’re inside the area enclosed by the fence, it really doesn’t look all that great? Well, shadowbox fences get around that by alternating the fence boards, first on one side of the fence and then on the other.
This does two things, both of which are important if aesthetics matter to you. First, it gives the fence the same appearance, regardless of which side you’re on. Inside the fenced–in area or out, it doesn’t matter. A shadowbox fence on your Leesburg, VA property will look just as good, regardless of your vantage point.
The second thing this design accomplishes is that it gives the fence a sense of dimensionality which just makes it more interesting to look at. Install one on your property and you’re bound to get admiring glances and questions about it. Don’t be surprised if you start a trend in your neighborhood. Once the first shadowbox fence in a given area goes up, everybody nearby seems to want one too!
Best of all, adding a shadowbox fence to your Leesburg, VA property is no more expensive than a conventional privacy fence, so it won’t cost you an arm and a leg for a beautiful, consistent look.
Ultimately, there are no right answers as to which variety is best. The only thing that matters is which type of fencing makes you happy. After all, fencing is more than just a practical enhancement to your property. It represents a unique opportunity for you, as the homeowner, to put your individual stamp on your property, and that’s a very good thing.
Regardless of what type of fencing you ultimately settle on, you don’t want just anyone to install it for you. If you’re a reasonably handy individual, it’s a job that you could probably accomplish on your own, but there are two caveats to consider: First, even a modestly sized fencing job is bigger than most people realize, and second, it’s backbreaking work.
Even if you’ve got the skills to do it, is that how you really want to spend the next several weekends? Most people answer that question with a resounding “no,” which is why we get called upon so frequently. It’s simply a good job to outsource to someone else.
In this area, we’re the “someone else” to call. Nobody knows more about fencing, and nobody can match the skill of our craftsmen. We’ll get the job done right and at a price you can afford. If that sounds good to you, help is just a phone call away. Call us when you’re ready to get started!
