Conway Privacy Fence Installation
Six feet of solid board between you and the street, the neighbors, and the noise. Delta Fence builds privacy fences for Conway yards with reinforced posts and tight board spacing, set to handle Arkansas wind and last for years. Licensed, insured, bonded.
Real Privacy, Built to Stay Standing
A privacy fence has one job, and it has to do it without falling over. That means tight boards with no gaps, full six-foot height, and posts that can take a gust. Conway gets storm wind rolling across open ground, and a tall solid fence catches all of it. We reinforce our posts and set them in concrete so your privacy fence holds the line when the weather turns. A fence that blows down the first spring was never private to begin with.
We build privacy fences three main ways. Solid board is the classic: pickets butted edge to edge for a clean wall of wood. Board-on-board overlaps the pickets so there are no sight gaps even after the wood dries and shrinks, and it looks the same good from both sides. Shadowbox alternates boards front and back, which softens wind load and still gives you privacy. We talk through which one fits your yard, your budget, and how much wind your spot catches.
Which style makes sense usually comes down to where your lot sits. On a sheltered backyard tucked between houses in one of the older Conway neighborhoods, solid board gives you the flat wall of wood with the fewest boards and the lowest cost. Out toward the newer subdivisions and the open ground near Lake Beaverfork, where the wind has a long run at the fence, shadowbox earns its keep by letting air slip through the alternating gaps instead of pushing on a solid face. If the fence line is shared with a neighbor who is going to be looking at the back of it, board-on-board keeps the peace because it finishes the same good on both sides.
Cedar Is Worth It for Privacy Runs
For a privacy fence, we steer most Conway homeowners toward cedar, and here is why. A privacy fence is a lot of wood standing in one place, and cedar handles moisture and bugs better than anything else without constant upkeep. On a tall solid run, the difference between cedar and cheaper wood shows up fast. Cedar stays straight and tight. Lesser wood cups and warps, and on a board-on-board fence a warped picket opens a gap right where you wanted privacy.
Every privacy fence we build gets American-sourced lumber, screw fasteners, and concrete-set posts. We hand-select the pickets so you are not getting the bowed and knotted boards the cheaper outfits run straight off the pallet. If you have an old fence on the line, we tear it out and haul it. When Conway requires a permit for a six-foot fence, we tell you before we dig. The result is a fence that gives you the privacy you paid for and keeps giving it.
On a tall privacy run, the post is doing more work than most people picture. A six-foot solid wall is a big flat sail, and every gust that hits it tries to lever the post out of the ground. That is why we do not treat privacy posts like the low picket-fence posts. We dig them deeper, flare the footing, and pour real concrete around each one, and on the windiest lots we shorten the post spacing so no single post carries too much of the load. A privacy fence set on shallow posts might survive a calm first year and then go over the first time a Conway storm line rolls through with straight-line wind behind it.
The detail work is what keeps a privacy fence private once the wood starts to move. Boards butted a hair too tight buckle when Arkansas humidity swells them in July, and boards run too loose open sight gaps when they shrink back in a dry winter. We space the pickets for the wood to breathe, cap the posts so rain does not rot the tops, and hold the boards off the dirt line with a kickboard so ground moisture is not wicking straight up into the pickets. Those are the steps a rushed crew skips, and they are exactly the steps that decide whether your fence is still a solid wall in year five or a row of cupped, gappy boards.
Built for Conway Wind and Conway Yards
Solid Board or Board-on-Board
Choose a clean wall of butted pickets or overlapping boards with zero sight gaps that look sharp from both sides. We help you pick what fits your yard.
Reinforced, Concrete-Set Posts
A six-foot fence catches wind. We reinforce the posts and set them in concrete so your privacy fence stays plumb through Conway storm season.
Hand-Selected Cedar
We pick straight, tight cedar pickets by hand, so your privacy run does not open up with gaps when the wood dries and settles.
Conway Privacy Fence Questions
How tall should a privacy fence be in Conway?
Six feet is standard for full privacy and what most Conway homeowners want. Some HOAs or lot lines cap the height, so we check the rules for your specific property before we build.
What is the difference between solid board and board-on-board?
Solid board butts the pickets edge to edge for a flat wall of wood. Board-on-board overlaps them, so even after the wood dries and shrinks there are no sight gaps, and it looks finished from both sides. Board-on-board costs a bit more and is the better pick if you want zero gaps long term.
Will a tall privacy fence survive Arkansas wind?
It will when it is built right. We reinforce the posts, set them in concrete below the freeze line, and can build shadowbox style to cut wind load. A privacy fence that falls down in the first storm was put up wrong, and that is not how we build.
Why do you recommend cedar for privacy fences?
A privacy fence is a large amount of wood in one tall run, so the quality of the wood matters more than on a low fence. Cedar resists rot and bugs and stays straight, which keeps the boards tight and the privacy intact. Cheaper wood warps and opens gaps.
Do you need a permit for a six-foot fence in Conway?
Often, yes. Conway has rules on fence height and placement. We check what applies to your lot before we start digging and tell you straight if a permit is needed.
Can you replace an old privacy fence that is falling apart?
Yes. We pull the failing fence, haul it off, and build you a new one on the same line or a corrected one if the old fence sat wrong. You do not lift a board.
Does a privacy fence cut down on street noise?
A solid six-foot board fence does take the edge off road noise, more than an open picket or chain link ever could, because the mass of the wood blocks and scatters some of the sound. It will not make a busy Conway street silent, but between a solid-board wall and the way it screens the sight of traffic, most homeowners notice the backyard feels calmer once the fence is up. If noise is a real concern we can talk through height and going with a fully solid style rather than a shadowbox that lets some sound slip through.
How much yard do I lose to a privacy fence?
Very little. The posts and boards themselves take only a few inches, and we set the fence just inside your property line where the survey and Conway setback rules put it, so you keep the use of your yard right up to the fence. Before we dig we locate the lines and check the setback so the fence sits where it belongs, which also keeps you clear of a dispute with the neighbor down the road. We would rather spend the extra hour confirming the line than build a fence that has to come back out.
