Modern, Stylish Horizontal Fencing for Homes and Businesses

Not all fences have to look traditional. If you’re drawn to clean lines, modern design, and a fresh take on privacy and security, a horizontal fence may be the perfect fit for your property.

At 5 Star Fence Company, we build custom horizontal fences for both residential and commercial clients throughout Republic, MO, and the surrounding 417 area. These fences are a growing trend in Southwest Missouri—not just for their stunning appearance, but also for their durability and customization options.

Whether you're upgrading your backyard, enhancing curb appeal, or giving your business a sleek perimeter, we’ll design and install a horizontal fence that turns heads—and turns your vision into reality.

What Is a Horizontal Fence?

Clean Lines. Contemporary Feel. Total Privacy.

As the name suggests, horizontal fencing uses planks or boards arranged side-to-side rather than top-to-bottom. This simple change in direction creates a bold, modern aesthetic that instantly sets your property apart.

Horizontal fences can be built with tight spacing for privacy or wider gaps for airflow and visibility. They’re typically constructed using premium wood or composite materials, and they pair beautifully with both traditional homes and modern architecture.

If you’ve seen them on home design shows or around new neighborhoods in Springfield or Nixa—and thought, “That looks sharp”—you’re not alone. They’re one of the most requested fence styles we offer.

Why Choose a Horizontal Fence?

Stand Out—Without Sacrificing Functionality

Horizontal fencing isn’t just a design choice—it’s a performance upgrade. Here’s why so many of our customers choose this style:

• Modern Curb Appeal

Clean, linear lines give your home or business a high-end look that immediately adds value and visual interest.

• Strong and Long-Lasting

When installed correctly, horizontal boards distribute weight evenly and can be more resistant to warping over time.

• Fully Customizable

Choose your wood type, stain, board width, spacing, and height to create a fence that fits your space and style.

• Excellent for Sloped Yards

Horizontal boards can visually level uneven ground, helping your fence look uniform even on hillsides or grades.

• Privacy and Airflow

Build it tight for full privacy, or add slight spacing for light and breeze—the design is up to you.

Ideal for Homes and Businesses Alike

While horizontal fences are most often installed in residential backyards, they’re becoming increasingly popular for:

  • Modern homes with minimalist landscaping
  • Boutique businesses looking for stylish exteriors
  • Outdoor patios and entertaining areas
  • Pool enclosures
  • Perimeter fencing for commercial properties

No matter the property type, a horizontal fence offers a unique blend of security, style, and sophistication.
