A shadowbox fence (sometimes called a board-on-board fence) is built by alternating vertical pickets on opposite sides of the fence rail. Each picket overlaps the one beside it just enough to block direct sightlines while still allowing air to flow through. The result is a fence that delivers solid privacy, an open and airy feel, and a finished look on both sides of the panel.
For Augusta homeowners, that airflow matters. Our humid Georgia summers can be relentless, and a shadowbox design prevents your fence from acting like a solid wall that traps heat in your yard. It’s a smart, practical choice that doesn’t compromise on curb appeal.
East Georgia Fence builds shadowbox fences using pressure-treated pine — a tried-and-true material that holds up well in Georgia’s climate. Pressure-treated pine is resistant to rot, moisture, and insect damage, which is essential in a region that sees heavy rainfall and high humidity throughout the year. It’s also a naturally beautiful wood that takes fence staining exceptionally well, allowing you to match your fence to your home’s exterior or let it weather to a natural silver-gray if you prefer.
When properly stained or sealed and routinely maintained, a pressure-treated pine shadowbox fence can last for decades — making it a smart long-term investment for your Augusta property.
Shadowbox fences are one of the most requested styles we install, and it’s easy to see why:
Whether you’re fencing in a backyard in Augusta, enclosing a commercial property near Washington Road, or adding a privacy barrier to a new build in a growing neighborhood, East Georgia Fence has the experience to get it done right. We handle projects of all sizes and scopes, from single-family residential installations to larger commercial fencing projects that require consistent quality across a wide footprint.

Every shadowbox fence East Georgia Fence installs starts with a thorough on-site consultation. We assess your property, discuss your goals, and make sure you understand exactly what to expect before work begins. Our crew handles every aspect of the fence installation process, from setting the posts correctly to securing the rails and finishing out the pickets with clean, consistent spacing.
We don’t cut corners because we understand that a fence is a long-term investment in your home. When we leave your property, the fence is done right — the first time.

What is the difference between a shadowbox fence and a privacy fence?
A standard privacy fence uses solid, side-by-side boards with no gaps, while a shadowbox fence alternates boards on opposite sides of the rail to create a slightly open pattern. Both offer strong privacy, but a shadowbox fence allows airflow and looks finished on both sides.
How long will a pressure-treated pine shadowbox fence last?
With proper installation and routine maintenance — including staining or sealing every few years — a pressure-treated pine shadowbox fence can last 20 years or more in Georgia’s climate.
Does a shadowbox fence require more maintenance than a regular wood fence?
No. Maintenance is essentially the same. Staining or sealing the wood every few years helps protect it from moisture, UV exposure, and the wear that comes with Augusta’s heat and humidity.
Can I stain my shadowbox fence to match my house?
Absolutely. Pressure-treated pine takes stain beautifully. East Georgia Fence also offers professional fence staining services if you’d like a uniform, clean finish applied by experienced hands.
Do you pull permits for fence installation?
Yes. East Georgia Fence handles the permitting process as needed in Augusta, Evans, Grovetown, Martinez, and surrounding areas, so you don’t have to worry about navigating local requirements on your own.
