Wood Privacy Fences

A wood privacy fence is the fastest way to turn your backyard into a private outdoor room, quiet, enclosed and safe for kids and pets. We build board-on-board and solid-panel privacy fences in cedar or pressure-treated lumber, set deep enough to survive Peterborough-area freeze-thaw cycles without heaving.

Every fence we build starts with a free on-site estimate where we walk your property lines with you, talk through height and gate placement, and give you a written price before any work begins.

Common questions

Wood Privacy Fences: FAQ

How tall can a privacy fence be in Peterborough?

Most Peterborough-area bylaws allow backyard fences up to about 6 feet, with stricter rules for corner lots facing a street. We check the rules for your property during the free estimate so there are no surprises.

How long does a wood privacy fence last here?

A properly built pressure-treated or cedar fence with posts set below the frost line typically lasts 15–25 years in our climate. The posts are what fail first on cheap installs, that is where we refuse to cut corners.
