Most Arkansas municipalities allow residential privacy fences up to six feet in height for backyards and four feet for front yards, though regulations vary by city and county. Some areas permit eight-foot privacy fences with a variance or in specific zoning districts. Delta Fence helps navigate local height restrictions during your free on-site quote. We check your municipality’s requirements and HOA guidelines before installation to ensure your fence is fully compliant. Call (501) 626-7024 to discuss your options.

Board-on-board is the best privacy fence style for wind resistance. The overlapping boards create visual privacy while allowing controlled airflow to pass through small gaps between the boards. This reduces the sail effect that causes solid fences to catch wind like a wall, putting extreme pressure on posts and rails. For properties in open areas or on hilltops where wind is a constant factor, board-on-board delivers both full privacy and long-term structural durability. We also increase post depth and diameter in high-wind areas for additional support.

A typical residential privacy fence installation takes one to three days, depending on the total linear footage, terrain conditions, and whether old fencing needs to be removed first. A standard backyard privacy fence of 150 to 200 linear feet is usually completed in one to two days. Larger properties, eight-foot fences, and projects requiring slope adjustments or tree root navigation may take longer. We provide a specific timeline during your quote so you can plan accordingly.

Yes. Delta Fence offers complete old fence removal as part of our installation service. We pull existing posts, remove all rails and pickets, and haul away all debris so your property is clean and ready for the new privacy fence. Removal is quoted separately based on the length, material, and condition of the old fence. Many customers combine removal and new installation into a single project for convenience. Contact us at (501) 626-7024 for a combined quote.

A wood privacy fence performs best with a stain or sealant applied within the first year of installation and reapplied every two to three years. This protects against moisture absorption, UV fading, and insect damage. Between treatments, occasional cleaning with a garden hose removes dirt and mildew buildup. Because Delta Fence uses thicker, higher-grade lumber and screws instead of staples, our fences require less maintenance than budget installations — boards stay tight, posts stay straight, and the overall structure remains solid significantly longer than fences built with inferior materials.

Privacy fence costs in Arkansas depend on the total linear footage, fence height (six-foot vs. eight-foot), style (solid board, board-on-board, shadowbox), terrain conditions, and whether old fence removal is needed. Delta Fence provides free on-site quotes with detailed written quotes so you know exactly what your project will cost before any work begins. We offer competitive pricing because we run a lean operation focused on craftsmanship — not overhead and upselling. Call (501) 626-7024 to map your fence line.

Absolutely. Arkansas terrain varies widely, and many properties in Central Arkansas have slopes, hills, or uneven ground. Delta Fence builds privacy fences that follow the natural grade of your property using either a stepped (stair-step) approach or a racked (contour-following) approach, depending on the slope severity and your aesthetic preference. Posts are set at consistent depths regardless of grade changes, and we adjust rail heights to maintain a uniform fence line. Our experience building fences across varied terrain means your privacy fence will look intentional and professional, even on challenging landscapes.
