How tall can a privacy fence be?
Height limitations vary depending on local codes or HOA restrictions, etc. Most privacy fences range anywhere from 4-8 feet, however. Before installation of any fence or privacy screen, we strongly recommend reaching out to local authorities to make sure you obtain the necessary paperwork and to make sure your project meets code requirements.
Trex privacy fencing is designed to be built as tall as 12 feet high. Fences up to 8 feet tall do not require mid-rails. Fences above 8 feet tall are created by stacking panel kits (one mid-rail for 9-10 ft. tall and two mid-rails for 11-12 ft. tall). You can view shop drawings for Seclusions, with vertical pickets, and Horizons, with horizontal pickets, illustrating placement of brackets, dimensions, and materials needed for the various heights.
