Solid-board vs board-on-board, which is better?
Board-on-board is better for privacy because as wood shrinks over time, solid-board fences develop small gaps between pickets that let light (and sight) through. Board-on-board alternates pickets front and back with 1-inch overlap, so gaps never open up. Costs about 10–15% more.
