Board on Board Fencing, Finished on Both Sides

Clovis neighborhoods often sit close together on smaller lots, which means both sides of a shared fence line matter. Lukus builds board on board so neither side ends up looking unfinished or like an afterthought, since both properties are looking at the same fence every single day.

  • Confirms the shared property line before building anything, so there's no confusion later.
  • Spaces back-layer pickets to allow for wood shrinkage over time.
  • Overlaps front-layer pickets evenly across every section.

Why Board on Board Fits Clovis's Tighter Lots

A lot of Clovis properties sit close enough to their neighbors that both sides of a fence are constantly visible. Board on board construction is built specifically for that situation. It doesn't treat one side of the fence line as an afterthought the way standard spacing does, which is what leaves one side looking unfinished.

The Shared-Fence Problem

Standard picket fencing often has a clear finished side and a plain, rail-facing side. On close Clovis lots, that plain side sits right in a neighbor's view. It can turn into an awkward conversation if it's not addressed upfront, before both sides have already formed an opinion about it. Board on board eliminates that imbalance with alternating overlap.

How the Overlap Prevents Gaps

A back layer of pickets goes up with spacing between boards. A front layer overlaps those gaps by roughly an inch on each side. As Valley heat dries and shrinks the wood, the overlap absorbs the movement instead of opening a visible seam along the fence line. For a heavier structural frame beneath the pickets, framed construction adds even more long-term stability on longer runs.

Avoiding Fence-Line Disputes

On a shared boundary, a fence that looks unfinished on one side can become a point of friction between neighbors before a single word is exchanged. Board on board sidesteps that entirely, since both yards get the same finished appearance from day one. It's a common request specifically for that reason in tighter Clovis neighborhoods, where property lines sit close enough that both sides notice right away.

What to Expect on Install Day

  • Posts and the rail frame are set first, before any pickets go up.
  • The back layer of pickets is installed with consistent spacing.
  • The front layer is installed to overlap the back layer evenly.
  • A final walkthrough checks for gaps from both sides.

Warranty

Board on board installs in Clovis are backed by the 5-year structural warranty. Pickets carry a 30-day warranty against warping or cracking over the life of the fence.

Worth the Extra Material on a Shared Fence Line

On close-set Clovis lots, a fence that looks good from only one side can create friction between neighbors before a single word is exchanged. Board on board construction avoids that by giving both properties the same finished look, while also holding up better against the gaps that Valley heat tends to create in standard picket spacing over time. That two-sided consideration is part of why it's requested so often on properties near Old Town, where lots tend to sit closer together than in newer developments further out.

Is board on board a good choice for close-set Clovis lots?

Yes, it's a common request specifically for shared property lines where both neighbors see the same fence every day.

Do the boards move in summer?

Some movement is normal in any wood fence. The overlap is designed so that shifting boards never open a gap you can see through.

How do people usually pay for board on board?

Cash, check, card, and financing all work. Financing comes up more often here, since the overlap uses extra material.
