Choose a fence style

After you confirm the fence line, the picker shows Choose a fence style. The style sets how the fence is built: board direction, spacing, overlap, rails, posts and the top line.

On a phone, swipe the row of cards sideways to see every style. On a computer, the cards sit in a grid.

Open a style​

Select a card to open its stains. The heading changes to Choose a wood stain. Select ‹ All finishes to return to the styles.

Each style asks for the same construction every time you render it, so trying a new stain changes the color and wood look rather than the design. Details such as board spacing can still vary from one render to the next. To see a different build, go back and choose another style.

What the style does not decide​

Height, gate locations, post material and hardware come from your contractor's quote and on-site measure. The picker notes that generated previews are illustrative and that the on-site measure decides the final spec.

Render photo stays unavailable until you select a stain. You can still change the line first with Edit fence placement.
