Nothing beats the natural warmth and timeless appeal of a wood fence. At Flytrap Fence Company, we specialize in crafting custom wood fences that enhance your property's beauty while providing the privacy and security your family deserves. From classic board-on-board privacy fences to elegant cap and trim designs, we build fences that stand the test of time.
Wood fences offer unmatched aesthetic appeal that complements any architectural style. The natural grain patterns and warm tones of cedar and pressure-treated pine create a welcoming atmosphere that vinyl and metal simply can't replicate.
Our board-on-board and solid panel designs provide true privacy with no gaps between boards. Perfect for creating a secluded backyard oasis where you can relax, entertain, and let kids and pets play safely.
Wood is the most versatile fencing material available. We can build any height, style, or configuration you need—including curved sections, custom gates, lattice tops, and decorative post caps to match your vision.
We build with pressure-treated lumber as our standard, which is rated for ground contact and stands up to the moisture, humidity, and insects of the Cape Fear region. Properly set posts and quality hardware mean your wood fence is a long-term investment, not a short-term fix.
Wood is a renewable, biodegradable material with a lower carbon footprint than manufactured alternatives. Our pressure-treated lumber comes from sustainable forestry operations.
A quality wood fence is one of the best investments for your home. Real estate studies show that fencing can increase property values by 10-15%, and wood fences consistently rank as buyer favorites.
Every property is unique, and we offer a full range of wood fence styles to match your needs and preferences. Most installations use pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine — the workhorse choice for Wilmington's coastal climate — but every style below is also available as a premium Western Red Cedar fence upgrade for homeowners who want longer life, natural rot resistance, and that distinctive cedar character. Here are the most popular options for Wilmington-area homes:
Our most popular style for backyard privacy. Overlapping vertical boards on alternating sides of the rails create a fence with no gaps visible from either side. This design looks great from both your yard and your neighbor's, and allows airflow while blocking views completely.
The premium choice for homeowners who want that extra touch of elegance. Features a horizontal cap rail on top and trim pieces that frame the fence beautifully. This style adds architectural interest and gives your fence a polished, finished look that stands out in any neighborhood.
A classic, straightforward choice that delivers solid privacy. Features tightly-spaced vertical pressure-treated pickets with dog-ear (pointed) tops. This design has been a neighborhood staple for decades and remains popular for good reason—it works.
Contemporary horizontal board design that's become increasingly popular in Wilmington's newer developments. The clean, linear look pairs perfectly with modern and transitional architecture. Available with varying gap widths from complete privacy to semi-private.
Alternating boards on opposite sides of the rails create a fence that looks identical from both sides—perfect when you want to be a good neighbor. The staggered design provides partial privacy while allowing air circulation and light through.
The quintessential American fence style. Our picket fences define property boundaries with charm and character while maintaining an open, welcoming feel. Available in various picket styles from traditional pointed to flat-top and decorative.
