Privacy Fence Installation Built for Long-Term Performance
At Gleave Construction, privacy fence installation is handled as real construction work, not a cosmetic add-on. As one of the most popular residential fencing solutions in Fort Wayne, privacy fencing creates a secure and secluded backyard while improving property value. We build privacy fences that look right, perform well, and hold up to Fort Wayne’s weather and ground conditions. Every project is planned for durability, code compliance, and long-term value.
Why homeowners choose privacy fencing:
Our Privacy Fence Material Options
At Gleave Construction, we help homeowners pick a privacy fence that suits their property. We consider layout, visual goals, and daily use. We aim to avoid overbuilding or underbuilding. Common privacy fence styles we install include:
Solid Privacy Fencing
Best for full backyard screening and clearly defined property lines. This style creates a continuous visual barrier with a clean, finished look.
Board-on-Board / Shadowbox Privacy
Ideal when privacy is needed without a solid “wall” feel. The overlapping design improves airflow and looks finished from both sides.
Lattice-Top & Decorative Privacy Fencing
Maintains privacy at eye level while allowing light and airflow above, often preferred for side yards or HOA-sensitive areas.
Horizontal Privacy Fencing
A modern option that emphasizes clean lines and contemporary design, best suited for flatter grades and intentional layouts.
Slatted Privacy Mesh Systems
A practical option for adding visual screening to existing or new chain link or metal fencing while preserving airflow and perimeter definition.
Customization options may include
- Fence heights of 6, 7, or 8 inches
- Decorative tops or trim details
- Color and finish selections
- Walk gates, drive gates, and pool-safe hardware
Materials Chosen for Strength, Longevity, and Local Conditions
The performance of a privacy fence depends as much on material quality as it does on installation. We select materials that withstand Indiana’s freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and seasonal ground movement—then install them to last.
Our Privacy Fence Installation Process
Is a Privacy Fence the Right Choice for Your Property?
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Creates clear visual separation between your property and neighbors | Solid designs can reduce airflow in some yard layouts |
| Increases backyard comfort, security, and usable outdoor space | Installation cost is higher than open fencing styles |
| Helps reduce visual distractions from nearby homes or streets | Fence height and placement may be limited by local codes or HOA rules |
| Available in low-maintenance options like vinyl | Wood privacy fences require ongoing care over time |
| Can improve curb appeal and resale value when properly installed | Not intended to fully block sound, only line-of-sight |


Privacy Fence Maintenance & Long-Term Care
Proper care helps your privacy fence look better and last longer. At Gleave Construction, we install privacy fencing with realistic maintenance expectations in mind.
Vinyl privacy fencing
Requires only occasional washing with soap and water to remove dirt or pollen.
Wood privacy fencing
Benefits from periodic inspection and sealing or staining to manage moisture and sun exposure.
Gates and hardware
Hinges and latches should be checked regularly, as gates are the most-used part of any fence.
Chain link with privacy slats
Slats may need adjustment over time to maintain even coverage and appearance.
Seasonal checks
After winter or heavy storms, inspect posts and gates to ensure they remain aligned and stable.

We had a new fence installed in our back yard by Gleave construction. The price and product selection was good but what really stood out was the team. They were prompt, courteous and did quality work. More than that, they did what they said they were going to do when they said they’d do it. I really appreciated that and would highly recommend…..
