Privacy and Semi-Privacy Fences: Tips From a Top Fencing Contractor in Tampa, Florida

Full Florida Privacy Fence From Our Tampa Bay Fence Company

The basic description of a full privacy fence is a fence that provides a completely obstructed view of your property from both the outside and the inside of your yard. A full privacy fence is typically constructed out of wood or vinyl. These fences are created using pickets that are placed right next to each other without any spaces unlike semi-privacy fences. Full-privacy fences have many benefits in addition to obstructing the view. Here are a few:

A Florida Privacy Fence Blocks Sound

Because a full-privacy fence is a solid barrier, disruptive sounds outside of your yard, such as traffic or loud music, can be significantly decreased. While a full-privacy fence may not completely block out every sound, a barrier like a full-privacy fence can definitely create a more peaceful environment in your yard and home, which allows you to enjoy your outdoor space in peace.

A Full-Privacy Fence is Easier to Clean

Because full-privacy fences are constructed by either placing pickets directly next to one another as with either vinyl or wood fence or by installing solid sheets of vinyl between posts, it eliminates any spaces and hard-to-reach areas, making them easier to keep clean.  

Being a top-rated fencing contractor in Tampa, Florida, means that we offer many types of full-privacy fences, including both vinyl full-privacy fences and wood full-privacy fences. Whichever you choose from our wide selection of wood fences or vinyl fences, our experienced fence installers will get the job done right! 

Semi-Privacy Fence

As the name indicates, semi-privacy fences offer a good amount of privacy but not as much as a full-privacy option.  A semi-privacy fence may have some space between the pickets and will generally offer more privacy than a decorative fence. Just like full-privacy fences, semi-privacy fences have their perks. Here are some of the benefits:

Let Some Light and Airflow in!

If you want to install a fence that allows some air movement and sunlight to filter through, all while retaining a good deal of privacy, then a semi-privacy fence may be the best option for you. The minimal spaces between pickets in a semi-privacy fence can help add light and comfort to your yard or outdoor living space, avoiding the feeling of being ‘boxed in’. A cool breeze on a hot summer day can make all the difference in the Florida heat!

Semi-Privacy Fences Can Reduce the Feeling of Being Closed In

Full-privacy fences are great for creating an enclosed space, but they can leave property owners feeling cut off from the outside world. However, the spaces between pickets of a semi-privacy fence are perfect for allowing some visibility, making it possible to see trees or other natural features outside of your fence. Semi-privacy fences can create the privacy you desire without completely cutting you off from what’s going on outside.

Semi-privacy fences are a middle ground between a Florida privacy fence and a decorative fence. Elite Fence and Outdoor, your expert fencing contractor in Tampa, Florida offers a variety of styles of semi-privacy fences. Both vinyl and wood are great options for a semi-privacy fence, but there is an additional option that works well, which is chain link fencing with PVC privacy slats. Privacy slats are long pieces of durable PVC that are woven into the chain link mesh to create a semi-private barrier.  

Is a Florida Privacy Fence or Semi-Privacy Fence Right For You?  

Whether you choose a full privacy or a semi-privacy fence, you can rest assured that both will provide an attractive and sturdy border around your property. This provides a barrier to keep your children and pets safely in your yard, giving your property added security and boosting your curb appeal.

Decorative Details

Our team is committed to going the extra mile in every detail of your fence project.

Customize your fence project by asking about our add-ons we offer: decorative post caps, trim, and custom railings.

Stronger Fencing

Compared to wood, vinyl fencing is much stronger. Vinyl fencing is flexible and durable, which helps vinyl out-perform wood fencing in windy conditions and with environmental exposure to UV rays and weather.

Premium Chain Link Mesh

Our chain link mesh offers a high level of security for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Manufactured with you in mind to provide you with security and beauty at the same time.

Top Quality Rails
We pride ourselves on going the extra mile to ensure your investment is built to last. Adding a top rail to your chain link fence project creates an extra level of durability and security.
Stronger Posts & Hardware

A benefit of choosing our team to install your chain link fence is that we use only the most durable posts and hardware.

Chain-link fences are known for being the last fences standing during hurricanes, tornados, and other severe weather events.

Seamless Design

Our metal fence panels are fabricated through a welding technique that combines laser and fusion technology to create a virtually invisible structural connection at every picket to rail intersection. 

Our team’s expertly crafted construction is unmatched in strength and durability.

Powder-Coated Strength

All of our aluminum fences are coated inside and out. Our metal framework is subjected to a multi-stage pre-treatment/wash, followed by a duplex cathodic electrocoat system consisting of an epoxy primer, which significantly increases corrosion protection, and an acrylic topcoat, which provides the protection necessary to withstand adverse weathering effects.

High Security Fencing

Maintaining a secure perimeter is your first line of defense against potential threats. A securely installed metal fence serves as a visual deterrent backed with heavy metal components that give a higher level of protection compared to traditional alternatives.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Our metal fences come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty that protects against cracking, peeling, chipping, blistering and corrosion resulting in structural failure, without cause and workmanship and material defects through the manufacturer.

Beautiful Vinyl Fences

Vinyl fences are a bright, bold fence choice. Available in a variety of colors, vinyl fencing can be installed in a many configurations to help you enhance the beauty of your property. And, because vinyl isn’t as porous as wood, vinyl fences retain their color and finish much longer than wood fencing so you can enjoy your fence for years to come.

Easy to Clean

Vinyl fencing can be cleaned easily with a regular garden hose. If you get a little mildew from moisture or shady conditions, you can use a mild dish soap and then spray off the fence with a garden hose. Vinyl fences are very easy to clean, making them a great option for low-maintenance fencing.

25 Year Limited Lifetime Warranty

The power of the outdoors has met its match. Composite is engineered to endure decades of foul weather and foot traffic…with the warranty coverage to prove it. 

With our 25-Year Limited Residential Warranty, you can rest assured that your backyard investment is well protected.

Premium Rails

Much like our fence pickets, our company takes care to only build with rails with minor defects. Taking the time to use premium fence materials helps ensure your family can enjoy the security and privacy of your new fence for years to come.

Versatile Infill Options

Want to create a super durable fence that’s as unique as you? With a FenceTrac system you can pair their patented, durable U-channels with the infill that best fits your style. FenceTrac is designed to be used with nearly any type of rigid infill, so you can create the exact look you want.

Stronger Trac Channels

FenceTrac U-channels are manufactured from 18-ga. roll-formed galvanized steel for superior strength and durability. This system is built to be long-lasting and customizable to match any yard.

Better Fence Pickets

We build with only the best fence pickets. These are not the typical fence pickets anyone can buy from the local big-box stores. We have partnered with suppliers to provide the highest quality wood fencing materials.

Modern, Sleek Design
