Solid or Spaced Horizontal Fencing
LINE steel slats and horizontal composite boards create two distinct looks. Choose a solid surface for privacy or open rows with space between each piece.
A Horizontal Privacy Fence
Both LINE and composite offer a horizontal privacy fence. LINE slats create a black metal surface. Composite boards bring a wood-look finish.
Spaced Horizontal Slats
Spaced horizontal boards and slats create open rows. LINE has half-inch and nominal one-inch-gap options. Composite offers a semi-privacy layout with one-inch gaps.
LINE Horizontal Steel
LINE uses rectangular galvanized steel slats with Private Black powder coating. The slats pair with steel fence posts and matching hardware. Choose solid or spaced horizontal fence panels.
Horizontal Composite Boards
Composite fence boards blend wood fibers and recycled polyethylene. They pair with steel posts and aluminum rails. Board colors include Redwood, Teak and Charcoal.
Shared Steel Support
Private Black steel fence posts support both ranges. They frame the LINE slats or the wood-look composite boards.
Horizontal Fence Materials and Styles
LINE steel and composite boards create distinct horizontal finishes, with matching support components.
Compare Widths, Heights and Mounting
Section dimensions and mounting options distinguish the two horizontal systems.
Section Widths
LINE sections are nominally eight feet wide. Horizontal composite sections are nominally six feet wide, using their corresponding boards and rail sets.
Fence Heights
Both systems include 6-foot and 7-foot heights, plus lower options. Privacy patterns vary by configuration.
Mounting Options
Both systems offer In-Ground and Surface Mount posts. The 7-foot configurations use In-Ground posts.
Horizontal Systems and Coordinated Gates
Material-specific connections and matching gates complete each horizontal system.
Private Black and Wood-Look Finishes
LINE's steel slats and supports share the Private Black finish. Composite combines Private Black metal supports with Redwood, Teak or Charcoal boards.
System-Specific Connections
Composite boards use matching aluminum rails. LINE uses fittings for the selected slat pattern.
Choose the Matching Gate Assembly
LINE gates have preassembled aluminum leaves. Composite gates combine aluminum frames with horizontal or vertical boards. Both ranges include small and taller single gates, plus double configurations.
Steel Supports for DIY Wood Infill
Modern Yard steel posts and fittings also support compatible DIY wood boards. Explore the wood fence page for horizontal layouts.
Composite Board Care
Composite boards need no routine painting, staining or sealing. Clean them with mild soap, water and a soft cloth or brush.
Horizontal Fence FAQ
Is Horizontal Fencing Always Semi-Private?
No. LINE and horizontal composite both include full-privacy infill and defined semi-privacy patterns.
Which Horizontal Materials Are Available?
LINE provides powder-coated galvanized steel slats. Horizontal composite uses wood-plastic composite boards with matching metal posts, rails and connections.
Are the Same Rails Used for Every Infill?
Horizontal composite uses its aluminum rail set. LINE slats use hardware matched to the infill pattern, rather than the composite rail arrangement.
Which Finishes Are Available?
Private Black is the metal finish. Horizontal composite boards are available in Redwood, Teak and Charcoal.
