What Is Board-On-Batten Wood Fencing?
Board-on-batten fencing is a classic vertical wood fence style where wide vertical boards are installed with narrow battens covering the seams between them. This design adds depth, symmetry, and reinforcement, making it stronger than standard side-by-side fencing while maintaining a clean, traditional appearance.
This style is especially popular for:
- Long, straight fence runs
- Traditional and heritage-style homes
- Properties needing privacy with visual structure
Unlike basic vertical fencing, board-on-batten fencing offers added rigidity and a more finished look, making it a long-term upgrade.
Benefits of Board-On-Batten Wood Fencing
Timeless, Traditional Appearance
The vertical layout and clean lines make this style ideal for homes that favor a classic or farmhouse-inspired look.
Added Strength & Durability
The battens reinforce the fence structure, improving resistance to warping, shifting, and wind stress.
Improved Privacy
Covered seams reduce visibility between boards, offering enhanced privacy compared to standard vertical fencing.
Built for Ontario’s Climate
Designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and seasonal movement, making it well-suited for Southern Ontario.

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. I couldn’t recommend them enough!Posted on Jeff BurtchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly Recommend! This is the only company to consider!
