Board-On-Board Wood Fencing in Waterloo, ON
What Is Board-On-Board Wood Fencing?
Board-on-board fencing is a high-end privacy fence style where vertical boards are installed in an alternating, overlapping pattern on each side of the fence rails. This design ensures there are no visible gaps, even as the wood naturally expands and contracts throughout the year.
- Maintain privacy year-round
- Look finished from both sides
- Reduce warping and shifting
- Offer greater structural strength
This makes board-on-board fencing ideal for backyards, pool areas, family homes, and shared property lines.
Why Choose Board-On-Board Wood Fencing?
Maximum Privacy with No Gaps
Overlapping boards eliminate sightlines — even in winter when wood shrinks.
Attractive on Both Sides
Perfect for properties with neighbours on both sides — no “bad side” of the fence.
Built for Ontario Weather
Designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, wind, and seasonal movement.
Stronger, More Durable Construction
The layered design adds rigidity and long-term stability compared to basic wood fencing.

After several bad experiences with other contractors, working with Star Fencing was a breath of fresh air. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish — always on time, did exactly what they promised, and handled all the permit and paperwork bureaucracy for me without any hassle. The quality of the work is outstanding — both the fence and the deck look absolutely fantastic. They were meticulous about cleaning up every day, leaving nothing behind, and were even careful not to damage the grass. It’s rare to find contractors this professional and reliable.
