About the Service

Privacy Fences, Done Right

Privacy fences are typically six feet tall with solid boards or panels, and many neighborhoods allow them in back yards. Styles like board-on-board, shadowbox and dog-ear give you privacy with different looks and airflow.

We help you choose the height, the board layout, the posts and the finish, and we plan gates, slopes and corners so there are no gaps. We also talk about your neighbors, your HOA and how to keep the fence looking good.

Music City Deck & Fence brings privacy fences to homes and businesses in Nashville and across 14 Middle Tennessee cities.

Questions About Privacy Fences

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

How tall can a privacy fence be?

Height limits vary by city, neighborhood and where the fence sits on your property. We help you check the rules for your address.

What is the best material for a privacy fence?

It depends on your priorities. Cedar gives a natural look, vinyl needs little care and composite blends both. The Fence Style Finder can guide you.

Will my neighbors see the posts?

Many people like the good side facing out, and we can build with the good side toward the neighbors or toward you. We talk through the options and any HOA rules.
