Fences > A board and batten privacy fence
These board and batten fences can be extremely durable. Build like siding on houses, the batten covers the spaces between the boards and prevents moisture from getting into the board. Battens are always fastened through the spaces rather than through the boards. Fastening through the fence boards will cause cracking and premature deterioration. Any flat panel type fence can be treated with a board and batten detailing for additional privacy. Keep in mind however--fitting battens along a curved cut can be time consuming.
