At Cool Cat Fence, we completed this horizontal wood fence replacement in Portland, OR, replacing approximately 185 feet of existing 6-foot cedar fencing with a horizontal wood fence and matching pedestrian gate. Our crew removed and hauled away the old fence, replacing its vertical boards and lattice-top sections with a consistent horizontal design.

Replacing an Existing Cedar Wood Fence
The old cedar wood fence combined vertical boards, decorative lattice sections, and a wooden gate. Vertical wood fence styles provide traditional charm and strength. Cedar is commonly favored for its aesthetics and durability in outdoor settings. Cedar wood is naturally resistant to rot and decay. Our crew handled demolition and haul-away before installing the new horizontal wood fence and matching pedestrian gate.
Horizontal Wood Fence Installation Along the Yard
As part of the wood fence installation, we placed horizontal boards beside the home, along landscaped areas, and through the narrower sections of the yard. The matching pedestrian gate carries the same board pattern, with black hardware contrasting against the wood. Horizontal wood fence designs offer a modern, sleek look. Wood species, spacing, and design significantly impact the performance and aesthetics of fences. Horizontal fences require closer post spacing to prevent sagging and warping. This project also shows how custom fences can combine practical boundaries with modern aesthetic appeal while following the shape of an existing residential yard. The matching fence and gate create a consistent look across the property.
