Cedar Board-on-Board Privacy Fence — Raymore, MO

Board-on-board fence in Raymore

We installed 175 linear feet of 6-foot board-on-board cedar privacy fence around the full rear and side yard perimeter. Board-on-board style overlaps adjacent boards, which gives full privacy from any angle and adds panel rigidity compared to flat-face board fencing. Green pressure-treated 4x4 posts at 8-foot centers, galvanized ring-shank fasteners throughout.

The Raymore homeowner wanted full-privacy backyard fencing that would contain kids, block view from the rear alley, and handle the open-field wind exposure that Raymore's newer subdivisions get. Raymore's newest subdivisions south of 155th have open lot lines with minimal tree buffering — wind loads on a full-privacy fence are significant with no neighboring structures to break the flow.

Wind exposure and post depth in Raymore

Raymore's open-field exposure from the south and west creates consistent high-wind loads on full-privacy fence panels. Our cedar privacy fence installation on Raymore properties uses 36-inch minimum post depth in poured concrete — same as Johnson County standard — but we also recommend the board-on-board style over flat-face because the overlapping boards distribute wind load better across the frame.

Full privacy, solid installation

The board-on-board pattern creates complete privacy from every angle — no gap lines at post spacing. The homeowner's kids can use the full yard without neighbors viewing directly in. We recommended the first stain coat at 30 days. The fence staining and sealing schedule is on the invoice handoff so they know when to book.
