Stockade Fences Provide Privacy and Security 

Stockade fences are one of the oldest types of fencing, dating back to Roman times when military officials wanted to ensure security around their fortifications. That use continued throughout the ages and became immensely popular in the colonial United States when stockade fences were also used as an aid in defense. The general look, structure and purpose of colonial stockade fences has survived through modern times with Discount Fence of CT, LLC leading the way in providing customers with the latest styles and lowest prices in Connecticut.

Privacy is Primary

These days, stockade fences are used primarily for privacy because of the very nature of their design. With heights up to eight feet and individual boards flushed against each other, stockade fences protect an area from prying eyes because one cannot see through them and it’s difficult if not impossible to see over them. These characteristics make stockade fences the perfect choice for backyards with pools, whirlpools or other water features. They are also perfect for keeping pets within a yard, hiding unsightly areas or any other features that you may want to keep away from prying eyes.

Secure Your Property

Security remains one of the primary advantages of stockade fencing. The height of the wooden panels deters burglars from climbing over the fence, thus making it less likely that a dwelling will suffer a break-in or robbery.

Beauty and Aesthetics

Stockade fencing also has aesthetic value. Use it a backdrop for a traditional flower garden or rock garden. In addition, stockade fences provide an effective sound barrier, making the immediate area around your home more peaceful.

Although stockade fencing has traditionally had a rustic appeal, a wide variety of choices is available in today’s designs. Choose from among smooth milled or rustic surfaces, arched or scalloped posts, along with the traditional pointed design. Stockade fencing is built with a mortise-and-tendon rail and post system. Post caps are also available in a variety of styles, including flat, beveled and Gothic.
