Privacy Fence Questions, Answered
Height limits, board-on-board versus shadowbox, which side faces out, and what it costs.
How tall can a privacy fence be in Knoxville?
It depends entirely on jurisdiction. Farragut allows seven feet with no building permit, Maryville treats anything over six as an accessory structure with setbacks, and unincorporated Blount County goes to ten. Six feet is the most common residential answer, but check your address — and your HOA, which is usually stricter than the town.
Board-on-board or shadowbox — what is the difference?
Board-on-board overlaps pickets on the same side, giving full privacy with no gaps, and the overlap absorbs seasonal wood movement rather than opening up. Shadowbox alternates pickets front and back, so it looks finished from both sides and lets air through — easier on posts in wind, but you get partial sightlines at an angle.
Which side of a privacy fence faces the neighbor?
The smooth, finished side faces out, with rails and posts on your side. That is convention rather than state law, frequently an HOA requirement, and it keeps the climbable horizontal rails inside your property. Board-on-board and shadowbox finish both faces. Full answer.
Wood or vinyl for privacy?
Wood costs less up front and in 2026 is the more price-stable material, since metal tariffs did not hit lumber the way they hit aluminum and steel. Vinyl costs more initially but never needs staining. Both work here when the posts are set correctly for clay.
What does a privacy fence cost?
Roughly $14 to $50 per linear foot for wood privacy and $19 to $60 for vinyl, installed. A 150-foot back yard typically lands between about $2,100 and $9,000 depending on material, height and gates. Costs by length.
What wood do you use?
Pressure-treated pine for nearly every project. We can source cedar by request, but it is expensive and does not typically do well in East Tennessee clay without special installation, so we rarely recommend it here.
Why do privacy fences lean?
Post depth, almost always. A solid privacy panel catches wind like a sail, and East Tennessee red clay swells wet and shrinks dry, working shallow posts loose over a few seasons. Depth of about a third of the above-ground height with a minimum near 24 inches, deeper at gates and corners. Why this matters more than the material.
Does a privacy fence block noise?
Somewhat. A fence deflects sound rather than absorbing it, so mass, height and having no gaps matter more than material. Expect a noticeable difference on road noise, not silence. Board-on-board performs better than a fence with seasonal gaps.
Can a privacy fence follow a slope?
Yes, either stepped in level increments or racked to follow grade. Solid privacy panels usually get stepped, which leaves triangular gaps at the bottom on steep ground — something to plan for rather than discover. Sloped runs commonly add 10 to 25 percent.
Do I need a permit and who pulls it?
Depends on jurisdiction and height, and the property owner obtains permits and HOA approvals. We require a copy of the approved permit before installing, and we will tell you exactly which rules apply to your address and what to ask for.
