faq ask the fence expert, mike downs fencing
1. What is a side-by-side fence?
A side-by-side fence is a traditional privacy fence with pickets installed edge to edge on one side of the rails. It's one of the most popular fence styles for homeowners because it offers a clean, classic appearance and dependable privacy.
2. Is a side-by-side fence a good choice for privacy?
Yes. A side-by-side fence provides excellent privacy for most homes. While small gaps may naturally develop over time as the wood expands and contracts, it remains one of the most effective and affordable privacy fence options.
3. What type of wood do you use?
We build our side-by-side fences with genuine Western Red Cedar, a premium wood known for its natural beauty, durability, and resistance to decay and insects.
4. Can I customize my side-by-side fence?
Absolutely. We can customize the height, gate style, trim, top design, decorative accents, and stain color to complement your home and meet your specific needs.
5. How long will a side-by-side cedar fence last?
When built with quality materials and proper installation methods, a cedar side-by-side fence can provide decades of reliable performance. Regular staining and maintenance will help maximize its lifespan.
6. Is a side-by-side fence more affordable than a board-on-board fence?
Yes. Because it uses fewer pickets, a side-by-side fence is typically a more budget-friendly option while still providing excellent privacy, strength, and curb appeal.
7. Why choose Mike Downs Fencing for a side-by-side fence?
Every side-by-side fence is personally built by Mike—never subcontractors. With over 25 years of experience, genuine Western Red Cedar, and proven installation methods, we build fences that are designed to withstand North Texas weather and provide lasting beauty and value.
