Our Top Five Fence Styles in 2025

The results are in! Frederick Fence installed nearly 237,000 feet of fencing in 2025. That’s about 45 miles of fence! We are thankful for each client who has chosen to join the Fence Co. family this year. If you are in need of fence installation services in central Maryland and surrounding parts of Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, Frederick Fence is the one you should call! We hope our 43+ years of experience, customer testimonials, and the vast amount of fencing our crews install each year might convince you. The styles listed below were last year’s most common fence installs, beginning with number five on the list and ending with the fence style we installed the most in 2025.

No. 5 – Pressure Treated Pine Solid Board Privacy Fence

Our countdown of the fence styles we installed the most in 2025 begins with solid board privacy fence in pressure treated pine. Pressure treated is generally more affordable than cedar, but the quality is comparable and therefore worth it to many clients who end up choosing the former. Solid board is a popular fence style for the downtown Frederick City area as it is a historically acceptable fence type according to HPC regulations. Solid board fences are also a popular option in various other settings such as along roadways, for trash or utility enclosures, and even encompassing large yard spaces (250-300’ of fence).

 

No. 4 – Stock Aluminum Fence

Stock aluminum fence installations ranked fourth in our countdown. Our stock aluminum includes 48”, 54”, and 60” tall 3-rail. These three options are sufficient for most residential applications, and our 54” tall option complies with county pool code standards. In addition to aluminum fence installation services, Frederick Fence offers these styles to retail customers for purchase of materials only. Walk-in customers can purchase and leave with any of these stock aluminum options, while supplies last. Whether you are interested in aluminum fence installation or DIY materials, Frederick Fence has what you need.

 

No. 3 – Vinyl Privacy Fence

Vinyl privacy fence continues to be a popular style all over our service area. It is an ideal option for townhomes, trash and utility enclosures, businesses, large yards, and more! Vinyl privacy fences, along with every other vinyl style, are made to order the Frederick Fence Way in our own fabrication shop . Our expertise in product sourcing, routing and fabrication, and installation guarantees you receive a vinyl product you can count on. Achieve lasting privacy with minimal required maintenance when you choose our vinyl tongue and groove privacy fence.

 

No. 2 – Split Rail Fence

The second most installed fence type of 2025 was split rail. It fell about midway between vinyl privacy and our number one fence type, which we will discuss in detail next! Split rail is a great fencing option for perimeters and property boundaries. Added wire mesh makes it ideal for pet fencing and even pool fencing! Frederick Fence always keeps split rail fence products in stock, with new truck loads being delivered weekly during much of the year. Order split rail fence installation services or purchase split rail products from our location right here in Frederick City! We offer home delivery services and tips that will help you with your own DIY fence installation.

 

No. 1 – Paddock Fence

Our paddock fence installation services were put to good use in 2025! Paddock fencing was our most popular fence style by about 7,000 linear feet! Paddock fence projects are often large as they are perfect for rural settings and large yards, yet sturdier and more useful than split rail in many applications. Within the broad category of paddock fencing, we concluded that customers prefer our finished, rounded edge style of board over rough sawn, squared edge style. Cedar picket style gates are usually paired with paddock fences because they provide higher quality, longer-lasting function over heavy, clunky paddock gates.
