Hi. I designed the fence. The posts are redwood. The bottoms are treated so they won't rot. The slats are Ipe. Everything is sealed with Ipe stain sealer. Most lumber suppliers should have these materials or can get them in.

Lap Fence Panels are the cheap ones , they look like this:- Close board or feather edged panel ( look the same ) and are a step up from the lap panels, they are generally better made and look like this:- Then you have the much more expensive Tongue and Groove Fences. They're a newer addition to fencing and not so widely available. I agree they are nice looking and you can justify the expense in a smaller expanse, but they're not cheap, about double , and maybe a bit more than that of a close board panel. In my opinion the strongest fencing is put up by hand using posts, rails and boards with no panels.

Depends where you live From your spelling of neighbor l presume you are US based? If so l don’t know their legal requirements. Here in the UK you are supposed to ask your neighbour if you want to paint the shared fence. Many don’t though.

Hi. Great fence. What is the distance between the slats? What is the width of the boards. We want a horizontal fence for a deck overlooking the venice canals, and want to maximize visibility through the fence while keeping it attractive. Thank you!

These are very nice and beautiful fences. Wooden fences are very durable and need very little maintenance. The picture you have shared with us clearly indicates the fact that how with these wooden fences the entire garden or yard looks very refreshing. Thanks for the share.

Chiming in almost a year later, hoping everyone found answers to their questions.

mjohns7691 - Ipe is a Brazilian hardwood. One of the strongest (if not the strongest wood) available in the market. It stands to have a lifespan of about 75+ years and resists rot, mildew, and insects naturally.

nicluc47- It appears that the boards are 6" (nominal 5 1/2") in width. To maximize the view from these type of fences you can have boards that are narrower such as 3"-3 1/2" and widen the gap a bit more.

Oak Tree Construction- Posts that are eased on 4 edges may be found in stores where they sell fences. However, they may end up being something more common like Fir or Pine.
