Fencing comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. It also comes in varying qualities, depending on what materials are selected and who does the installation.
We at Borg Redwood Fences pride ourselves on using the best materials possible. Every purchase is checked for quality control when it arrives at the yard. Each foreman is allowed to make decisions in the field as to what goes up on the fence-a rarity in the industry. We use quality materials installed by trained professionals at a reasonable price. Every time.
There is a reason that Borg Redwood Fences has so many repeat customers and so many new customers via referral.

Below you will find specific information about the fencing styles. We provide the detailed information as a resource for you to use in your decision making process.
Wood Fences
Start with the best quality wood you can buy. Allow your crew leaders to determine if each individual post, two by four, and plank meets company standards, and install using trained professionals. The result is very happy customers.
It is a simple combination that has proven successful for years.
Earlier we stated that many a lumber truck have been turned around at the yard and not allowed to unload. This is very costly to the lumber suppliers. Over time, and not much of it, they learn to send us their very best. We gladly accept their best.
Board on Board
We use 1x8 or 1x6 redwood fence boards, picture framing style (1x1 stops that run along top and bottom of the frame on both sides of the boards), 2x8 brown pressure treated, or 2x12 brown pressure treated kick boards, and we frame with solid 2x4’s, compared to a board with a dado, or hollowed out rail used by many contractors.
We use the correct post for the job, whether it be a pressure treated post or a LifePost. LifePost is a trademarked product that many of our customers are choosing. The slogan from the manufacturer of LifePost states that “Our posts will last longer than you.” Recently tested in the U.C. Davis wind-tunnel to withstand winds of greater than 95 MPH, it proves to be the best solution on the market, and capable of living up to its slogan.
All wooden pressure treated gate posts are at least 4x6, and sometimes 6x6, depending on the size of the gate. The galvanized steel LifePost gatepost is a fully-square version of the line post, but much stronger and heavier.
The board on board fence is an excellent privacy fence. The pattern overlaps approximately one inch on each side, which means that over time as the boards naturally shrink, no gaps develop. You can select con-common redwood or con-heart redwood fencing material. Most of our customers choose to seal and protect their board on board investment. It’s an added expense, but draws rave reviews from your neighbors. In fact, one customer claims that of all the hundreds of thousands of dollars he spent remodeling virtually every aspect of his home, it is the sealed and protected board on board fence that continues to garner the most praise.
Board on Board with Lattice
Adding lattice to a board on board fence makes a dramatic statement. Borg Fence & Decks uses a very thick, heavy-duty lattice, framed in with one by one redwood, giving the fence a beautiful finished look. It is not only beautiful, but durable. The lattice measures a full inch in thickness. We can also add lattice to a six foot fence, which gives you a seven foot finish for added privacy.
The lattice comes in the standard diagonal pattern and also a horizontal/vertical pattern. There is also a triple privacy lattice, which as its name implies, provides for the maximum amount of privacy.
Custom Fencing
These pictures reflect some of the “custom” work that Borg Redwood Fences has created. We are skilled professionals that will work with your architects, landscapers, and designers to create a design that is functional and beautiful. We always try to accommodate any ideas that a client may have regarding style. We have a large portfolio of custom designs. If you would like to see additional pictures, please feel free to ask.
Solid Board Fences
We use 1x8, 1x6, or 1x4 redwood fence boards, with or without 2x8 or 2x12 pressure treated kickboards, depending on what is needed. The boards are side by side, and can alternate the sections with the frame side showing and a smooth boarded side showing. An alternating panel fence is known as the “good neighbor” fence (usually when the neighbors pitch in equally to pay for it). This fence can be ordered using con common or con heart redwood boards and rails, or pressure treated rails. All 1x4 fences use three rails for stability and to prevent bending of the narrower 1x4 boards. All 1x8 and 1x6 fences can also be ordered with the third rail.
Dog Ear Fences
Dog-Ear style of fencing is perhaps the most common style of fence found in the greater Sacramento area. We use 1x8, 1x6 or 1x4 redwood boards, with or without kickboards, depending on whether dirt or rock needs to be retained.. The boards are set side-by-side and are clipped on each corner, thus giving a Dog-Ear appearance. The Dog-Ear fence also lends itself very well as a “good neighbor” fence.
Wrought Iron
Wrought iron fencing is ideal when you are concerned about security, but wish to preserve your view.
When we build a wrought iron fence we weld everything, instead of bolting it together. We wire brush all our welds and then prime and paint for a superior appearance. The iron materials we utilize are all powder coated.
In addition, bias-able iron panels are available which enable us to match any slope while maintaining vertical symmetry with all of the iron rods.
Many customers choose truly unique and custom applications. We will be happy to indulge any iron idea you may have for your custom fence or gate.
Vinyl Fences
Borg Fence and Decks is the leading installer of vinyl in the northern California region. As a company dedicated to our customers we encourage the use of vinyl because . . .
It’s economical – At the end of the day, money talks. Because vinyl is designed to last a lifetime it is two to four times more cost effective.
It Raises your Property Value – Vinyl is the perfect complement to any lawn, pool, or flower bed, and will give your property an estate feel. Also, our transferable lifetime warranty will act as a symbol of quality material choices to your guests or a potential homebuyer.
Easy Maintenance – Let’s face it, who wants to spend their Saturdays re-staining wood? Vinyl’s smooth surface prevents dirt from sticking to it. Whenever the vinyl begins to look dirty just spray it with a hose and watch the dirt vanish.
Design Appeal – Vinyl can be customized in almost any way imaginable. Why settle for the same dog ear fence, or the same painted white ranch rail? Why not build something modern, permanent, and beautiful?
Because vinyl is fully customizable we offer a number of styles to complement your yard.
- Privacy Fence
- Picket Fence
- Ranch Rail
- Gazebos
- Patio Covers
We invite you to look through the pictures below and get ideas for your vinyl project. Let’s install something durable and beautiful, let’s install vinyl.
Chain Link Fences
Galvanized chain-link fences have been preferred for decades to define property lines, enclose animals, and protect property.
We use a thick, 9 gauge chain link with top rails. This premium installation provides a durable fence. All steel components are hot dip zinc coated. Ties used to attach the chain-link fabric to the framework between terminal posts are made from aluminum, resulting in maintenance-free security. Some fittings such as caps, rail ends, and eye tops are made from rugged die-cast aluminum making the fence very affordable.
Chain link fences preserve views and provide security at the same time.
