The One Fence Style That Works with Every Home

Full Estate - without Post Caps, Cedar Fence

If you’re looking for a fence style that looks great, holds up in our rainy climate, and works with just about any type of home—from a craftsman bungalow in Ballard to a sleek modern build on Mercer Island—you’ll want to consider the Full Estate – without Post Caps.

This fence is not just versatile in appearance—it’s also engineered to last. Here’s why it’s one of our top recommendations for homeowners across Seattle, Bellevue, Shoreline, and beyond.


Built for Pacific Northwest Weather

Let’s face it: it rains a lot here. The Full Estate Fence is designed with durability in mind, using a full-panel construction that protects the wood from moisture, sun, and even rowdy dogs.

  • Top and bottom 2×4 rails fully frame the pickets, shielding the vulnerable end grain from the elements.

  • A front-facing trim board overlaps the rails for an extra layer of protection and clean, finished aesthetics.

  • A continuous 2×4 top cap covers the top of the fence, sealing off both the picket tops and the posts—no individual post caps needed.

This design keeps your fence strong and good-looking through years of Seattle drizzle, summer sun, and everything in between.


Pet-Proof & Sloped for Functionality

Got dogs? This fence can handle them.

Because the pickets are sandwiched tightly between the rails and trim, they won’t wiggle loose when your dog jumps or paws at the boards. For extra peace of mind, we can slope the bottom of the fence to follow your yard’s natural grade, reducing gaps and keeping pets safely in the yard—even on uneven terrain.


One Fence Style, All Types of Homes

Whether your home is a classic Craftsman in Wallingford, a mid-century in Shoreline, or a new build in Bellevue, the Full Estate – without post caps blends beautifully with your architecture.

The clean lines and continuous top cap give it a modern touch, while the natural cedar and trim detailing bring warmth and timelessness that fits older homes just as well.


Great for Shared Property Lines

In the Seattle area and surrounding neighborhoods like Mercer Island or Renton, it’s common to share property lines with neighbors who have homes from entirely different eras. This fence style acts like a design chameleon—pairing well with everything from traditional to contemporary homes.
