Modern Privacy Fence
Why a Modern Privacy Fence Makes Sense
Today’s privacy needs go beyond the old white picket fence. Homeowners and businesses want security, quiet, and good looks all rolled into one. A modern privacy fence checks those boxes while giving your property a finished, intentional look.
The panels are built taller, stronger, and more streamlined. Instead of ornate scrollwork or flimsy gaps, you're getting tight-fitting boards, smooth surfaces, and straight lines. This is about creating a space that truly feels like your own. One that lets you exhale as soon as you step outside.
Fence Styles and Where They Work Best
Modern privacy fences aren’t one-size-fits-all. You’ve got choices. And those choices come with different benefits depending on where the fence is going.

Horizontal Boardfencing
Perfect for backyards and patios. This style offers a fresh, architectural feel and works well with modern home designs and minimalist landscaping.

Board-on-Board fencing
Good for side yards or places where you want airflow without giving up privacy. The overlapping boards help block gaps that form over time.

Shadowbox fencing
Better suited for larger properties or shared spaces. This style offers privacy from both sides and holds up well in breezy areas.

Cap & Face Fencing
Great if you’re looking for a traditional privacy style.
Each fence style brings a different tone. Some feel warm and natural while others are crisp and contemporary. The good news is that they all complement your property when installed with intention.
Why Our Modern Privacy Fences Are Better
At Hurricane Fence, quality is never an afterthought. Every modern privacy fence we install is built to last with materials that handle heat, rain, wind, and time. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
We use pressure-treated pine or rich, long-lasting cedar. Those are the only woods that meet our standards. For clients who want even lower maintenance, we also offer composite options that hold color and resist wear without looking synthetic. Everything is measured carefully, leveled properly, and secured by pros who treat each project like it matters. Because it does.
You get strong lines, tight seams, and dependable results.
Tailored to Fit Your Property
No two properties are alike. That’s why we design every modern privacy fence to suit your layout, grade, and goals. Need to work around a slope? Want a gate that blends right into the fence line? Have neighbors to consider on one side but not the other? We’ve got you covered.
We also offer a variety of finishes. Some clients prefer the natural tone of unstained cedar. Others go bold with painted black or deep charcoal tones. These details help your fence feel like part of your home rather than a last-minute addition.
Our team can even add custom features like lattice tops, metal accents, or inset lighting. If you’ve seen it in a magazine, we can bring that idea to life.
Installation You Can Count On
A good modern privacy fence begins with a smart installation. Our team shows up on time with a clear plan and the right tools. We dig every post deep enough to stand strong and build each panel with care so nothing shifts down the road.
You’ll always know what’s happening and when. We don’t leave you guessing. Once the work is done, we clean up the site and leave your property looking better than before we arrived.
Most installations are completed within a few days. And once it’s up, it stays put.
Easy Maintenance and Long-Term Value
One of the best parts about a modern privacy fence is the low upkeep. Wood fences need a fresh coat of sealant every few years. That’s usually enough to keep them looking great. Composite materials are even easier to care for and only need an occasional rinse.
These fences hold their shape and appearance over time. You won’t deal with sagging boards or large gaps. Start strong and you stay strong. And if you want to update the look in a few years, a simple paint job or stain gives your fence new life without needing to replace it.

Common Questions We Hear
Can I get a modern privacy fence that still feels warm and welcoming?
Yes. Wood and composite options both offer texture and tone that avoid a harsh or industrial look.

Yes. We custom-build fences that follow the natural slope so the end result is clean and functional.
