Wrought Iron questions, answered by experts

A horizontal fence is typically more expensive to build than a vertical fence, often costing between 10% and 20% more. The higher cost is due to the need for a higher grade of lumber and more posts to prevent the boards from sagging, which increases both material and labor expenses. Despite the higher price, horizontal fences tend to be more durable and offer a more distinct, modern look compared to the more common vertical picket style. However, they may not be the best option for privacy, as there can be slight gaps between the horizontal rails.

Installation typically takes 2-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.

Options include ornamental designs, custom gates, and various finishes. Consult with your installer for customization.

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. 

The safest pool fence depends on your specific needs, such as protecting children and pets. Generally, a fence that is difficult to climb and lacks gaps that a child or pet could slip through is safest. Mesh and tempered glass are very safe options because they are difficult to climb. Mesh fences often meet height requirements, although they may not be the most durable. Solid fences made of wood, concrete, or stone can also be very effective, provided they are high enough to prevent climbing. For additional safety, you could install a pool safety net or a full swimming pool enclosure. Proper maintenance of the pool area is also essential.
