Fence Upgrade Advice

[Philip Levi]

Hello everyone,

I’m in the process of replacing the backyard fence at one of my properties in Memphis, TN, and I’m considering upgrading from the current dog ear style to a more modern horizontal cedar wood fence. However, I noticed that most homes in the neighborhood have vertical fences.

Do you think it’s advisable to go with a horizontal design, or would it be better to stick with a vertical style to maintain consistency with the neighborhood aesthetic? I’d love to hear your insights and experiences!

Thanks in advance for your help!
