Horizontal fences continue to grow in popularity because they are one of the only fencing options that offers a truly modern and contemporary look.
The height and length of the planks used can bring a further custom look to your backyard, while of course providing the privacy and practicality you would expect. 
Like other variations of wood fences, horizontal fences can also be further customized with different shades of wood stains.
