This post is perfect… I’m just outside of Minneapolis and just started looking into fencing, but no one seems to want to do the horizontal fences. Thanks so much!

Yeah! You’ll love those guys. Let them know that you got the referral from the blog. I’ll for sure be writing a stain post in the future.

So excited to see the progress! I saw your original post about getting quote and I have a call in to the guys who did yours! I have been wanting a horizontal fence so bad too! We’re in Minneapolis and I can’t wait until they come quote us! I LOVE how yours turned out! I’ll keep checking to see how the stain turns out :) Congrats!

But wait, what is this about Minneapolis’ fiberoptic internet!!? What neighborhood are you in? Is it only on your block? I’m in Fulton and would love to ditch my shitty internet. How’d you find out about it? Where do I sign up?

Thanks Anna, I’ll for sure check it out the next time I’m out for a walk. Thanks!

My husband tried using a hand-pump type sprayer and it was a drippy uneven mess, brush is the way to go especially with all of those slats. I’ll email you our address so you can get an idea of how this looks (and weathers) if you’re on a neighborhood walk. P.S. I love your fence!

Hey, Lea! You could totally do this design or something similar to it in a vertical fashion. I bet it would look great. I like the trellis idea, I def have some good ideas to consider before I dive into that weird transitional space.

Hey-O, Daniel! Choosing a fence is hard work, bro. I still have fence indecision, but I am feeling less worried about minuscule choices that keep me up at night. I too didn’t know if a horizontal fence would work with my old house, or if I should do something more traditional. In the end I figured the horizontal slats would go well with the broad horizontal siding on our house. I’m excited to see what you do with yours!

I’m planning on putting a short fence on one side of my front yard (thanks to renters next door) and love this look but I need to tie it in with the existing standard privacy fence I have going on in the backyard. I’m thinking about doing something similar as far as different width boards to modernize it a bit but still running them vertically.

You just spent all this effort to include the parking pad into the backyard, I wouldn’t necessarily section it off completely. Another (larger) arbor with a trellis on each side could look very inviting, tie it in with the front gate and still make the space feel intimate. An attached pergolas is always nice too.

We have a horrible falling apart chain-link fence around most of our yard, and I can’t WAIT until it’s GONE! I have so much fence indecision on how to replace it, though…horizontal, vertical, height, finishing details, color, OH MY! Yours looks incredible!

Hey Anna, Thanks for the advice. It seems like the brush might be the way to go as opposed to spraying on stain. I’m sure it’s a pain in the neck, but I want to do this project right the first time. I was planning on waiting till late August before I went ahead with the stain job. I’ll be looking for that cedar-toned SW stain.

I believe we let it weather for at least a few months or maybe even the first season (it has been too long, I can’t remember) and then used a cedar-toned stain from Sherwin Williams. My husband put it on with a paint brush and it was a total pain in the neck, but the durable results are totally worth it and have held up to MN winters.

We are gearing up to seal our fence this summer too. I’ll keep you posted. All I know right now is it will be clear and I will spray it on. These sound like my coolest and most efficient options.
