Horizontal Cedar Fencing in Lake Stevens, WA
Horizontal cedar fencing delivers a modern look with clean lines and contemporary appeal. This style highlights the natural grain of cedar while offering customizable spacing for privacy and airflow.
Why Lake Stevens Homeowners Choose Horizontal Fencing
Horizontal cedar fencing brings sleek architectural lines to modern and mid-century homes in Snohomish County. Rather than traditional vertical pickets, tongue-and-groove or eased-edge cedar planks run horizontally between posts. Because horizontal boards carry wind loads differently, we place posts at tighter spacing and use heavy internal steel or cedar vertical splines to stop warping.
Unlike prefabricated panels sold at big-box home improvement stores that rack and warp on sloped ground, Light Rock builds every horizontal fence stick-built on-site in your yard. This allows our carpenters to follow natural Lake Stevens terrain contours, align every top cap cleanly, and reinforce critical wind-bearing posts.
Key Specifications & Features
- Crisp contemporary aesthetic with pronounced wood grain
- Custom board spacing: tight full privacy or modern 1/2” reveal gaps

Light Rock Advantage: Horizontal boards must shed water quickly. We ease every edge and seal exposed end-grain cuts with paraffin wood preservative before fastening.
