Storm-Damaged Fence Rebuilt With Shadowbox Style Wood Fence

When a tornado tears through a neighborhood, fences are usually the first thing to go. That's exactly what happened here - the original fence was wiped out, and this homeowner needed a full rebuild from the ground up. New posts, new rails, new pickets. Everything.

We went with a shadowbox style for this one. It's a smart choice for a backyard like this. The alternating picket layout means you get solid privacy from most angles while still allowing a little airflow through the fence. It also looks great from both sides, which matters in a neighborhood where your neighbors are just as close as your own yard.

What you're looking at is a complete fence installation - not a patch job, not a repair. The framing went in first, posts set and rails run the full length of the yard. Then the pickets were attached in the shadowbox pattern, alternating front and back along each rail. The result is a clean, consistent look all the way around the perimeter.

Storm damage repairs are one of those jobs that can feel overwhelming when you're standing in your backyard looking at what's left. The good news is that a rebuild like this is a chance to end up with something better than what you had before. Better materials, better style, better security. That's exactly what happened here.

This is the kind of fence work we do regularly - full installs, storm rebuilds, custom styles. A well-built wood fence adds real value to a property and gives you back the backyard you actually want to use.
