It seems like your fence has two colors. Can you tell us what they are? Looks amazing (both the plants and the fence).

Can you tell me the size of board that was used for the posts of your fence?

Love love love your fence! I think Ive read every post you wrote abt it but was wondering what color stain you used in these pics above? It looks lighter here than the chocolate stain you used a year later? True? Thanks for your inspiration!

I am looking to have a fence across my back yard — front yard all sun perennial garden with a small fish pond, backyard – all shade – neighbors with driveway and many cars — I LOVE THIS FENCE — any info on how I can figure out how to do it?

I love the fence (and your design sense). I’m about to put in a fence and the horizontal fence design was fairly similar but the shape of top “cap” and posts plus the two toned stains takes it over the top.

I saw that you mentioned using three coats of chocolate semi translucent stain from behr (and a brush) but what was the second color. Since the horizontal looks vastly lighter, I’m assuming it was a different tint. Also, was it oil based? How has the stain weathered over the years? I’m a little overwhelmed by all the options and reviews/blogs out there. Cheers!

Hi Scoops,
I, too, love your fence design and am going to copy it. I’m sorry, I see bits and pieces of the plan info spread throughout several responses, but would love to have the complete plan. I am not sure what you mean by the boards being put in at an angle, as they look flush and level to me… Since so many have asked for it, do you have a concise summary plan you could email me? I’m pretty dang handy if I have the plans in my hand. Thank you so much, nice job !

Hi, What a beautiful fence and garden! Can you share with me the color of your stain? Did you use two colors? That looks like a cedar fence, correct? Thanks!

In reply to rachel. Hey Rachael, the fence is cedar and I stained it with three coats of chocolate semi translucent stain from behr. I used a brush too, fyi!

I also love the fence, can you tell me what type of wood that is? and how did you stain the fence to get the unified color at end?

Thank you.

Might I see plans for your fence? We need to put in 300+ linear feet. I have never seen this style before.

What did you use to keep the posts in place,cement? Gravel? and cost wise. Sorry to ask but we are looking to put a fence in our yard, and I just fell in love with this!

In reply to Susan. Hey Susan! Thanks, we love it too! I have to give our fence builders at Fenceindeck.com the credit for the construction of the post system. They are 4x4 boards that are flanked with 2x2's on the vertical interior sides and 2x4's on the horizontal (interior). Then the horizontal slats are installed at an angle with nails and on the exterior side of the fence it is finished with 1x2 for the vertical boards, 1x4's for the horizontal and a 2x4 across the top horizontal. Let me know if you need more info then that. There is also some close ups over on this post.

Hi. We love your fence and want to create the same design for our home. Thank you for sharing your plans of the board sizing and spacing. We were wondering if you could also share about the construction of the posts? At fist we thought they were 4x4s but on closer look we’re thinking the base is a 2×6 with a 2×1 attached to either side to create the channel, but that’s obviously just a guess! Your fence is so lovely and we’d love to recreate it in our yard (in Wisconsin)! Thanks!

In reply to Bre. Hey Bre, I hired Dave @ Fencein Deck to build our fence. I share the plan I designed for it over here.

Did you have that fence put in by professionals or did you DIY? If you did DIY, what is the link to the post? I am getting ready to do my own fence and I LOVE the way yours looks! I am sure I can manage something along the lines of it, but I would really love to read about yours!

Oh–that coloring looks intentional—haha!! Either way, looks great.
