A horizontal cedar privacy fence with black steel posts that gives this Longmont backyard a warmer, more private backdrop while keeping the clean lines of the home and patio.
The backyard was open to neighboring views, and the owners wanted dependable privacy without making the relatively compact lawn and patio feel closed in. The fence also needed a durable gate for everyday access and a material palette that suited the home.

What we built
Blue Squirrel installed horizontal clear-cedar boards between black powder-coated steel posts, maintaining consistent reveals and a level visual line around the yard. A matching cedar gate and black hardware tie the entrance into the full enclosure.

The finished result
The completed fence creates a calm, private setting for the patio and lawn. Warm cedar softens the contemporary detailing, while the steel posts and coordinated gate give the installation a crisp, durable finish.
