5 Popular Fence Designs
The Out Back fence team has been designing and installing fencing in Grand Rapids and West Michigan for 30 years. Here are the fencing design and material styles that are popular!
1. Two-Rail Wooden Privacy Fence
Wood is one of our favorite fencing materials. Cedar looks great with any home design style, ages beautifully, and adds instant character to your yard. Plus, all of our wooden fencing designs are custom, so if you’re interested in a two-rail wooden privacy fence, but you’d like to make some of the details your own, that’s no problem! Our skilled team of craftsmen can create the design you’re looking for for the best value in West Michigan.


2. Classic Aluminum Flat Top Fence
Looking for a fence design that’s modern but has classic elements? Flat top aluminum fencing offers practicality, durability, and charm. Plus, powder-coated aluminum is easily customizable, so you can choose the finish color that best suits your home design and landscaping. Black is a very popular finish right now; if you’re looking for something timeless, white is a good option.
3. Horizontal Slat Vinyl
Horizontal slat vinyl fence is a popular choice for a reason! Gray vinyl fences with natural wood patterns are also very popular, especially for modern farmhouse-style residences. Vinyl fencing offers a modern look, low-maintenance upkeep, and an incredible value.


4. Pool Fence
Fencing around a pool is a requirement in Michigan—a classic, two-rail vertical post design is popular because it not only looks great but complies with pool fence design requirements. Some of these requirements include the fence being at least 4 feet high, vertical pickets being at least 4 inches apart, and the fence overall must not be climbable. If you’d like more detailed information, we have a blog about pool fencing requirements, or you can contact our team to learn more and design a compliant pool fence.
5. Classic White Slat Vinyl Picket Fence
White picket fencing has been popular for years. It’s a beautiful and classic choice that also looks and performs well in vinyl! If you want classic charm with modern ease-of-maintenance, it’s time to consider a white vinyl picket fence.
