What Makes a Good Kentucky 4 Board Fence?
What is a Kentucky 4 board fence and what makes a good one? Learn about that, and how to choose the right builder, from your favorite fence company – Superior Fence & Rail of Dayton and Cincinnati!
What Is A Kentucky 4 Board Fence?
A Kentucky 4 board fence, simply put, is 4 horizontal boards (or components), connected between vertical posts, hence the ‘four board’ part of the name. They can be constructed of various materials, although many people go with a wooden material for that classic style. However this style fence is also available in vinyl or metal materials. They’re a classic for rural areas, particularly farms or for people with livestock, and are generally considered a less costly style of fence to construct. Many people build their own Kentucky four board fence, but if you have no experience with fences, or have an expansive area you need done, consider having Superior Fence & Rail of Dayton and Cincinnati install it for you.
Why Choose a Kentucky Four Board Fence?
A Kentucky 4 board fence has a nice, simple look. You can even build it yourself with the right materials and know-how! Despite its simplicity, Kentucky 4 board fence is a sturdy fence that can be helpful in containing livestock, especially compared to similar style fences constructed with fewer boards. They use less material than privacy-style fences, meaning they are much cheaper to build, especially for larger areas.
Even if you don’t own a farm, agriculture or livestock, a Kentucky 4 board fence can give you that simple, classic, rustic look to your home. Since they’re commonly associated with rural areas and farms, it can bring some of that simple country charm to your home – even in the city!
Kentucky 4 board fence is a classic style for farms and ranches, sometimes even referred to as a ranch rail fence. Another plus is the additional boards compared to 2-board or 3- board fences will help keep livestock contained.
