stockade fence

Pointed timber wall

A stockade fence is a privacy fence made of tall wooden boards placed tightly side by side with no gaps between them.

The boards typically have pointed or rounded tops, echoing the defensive wooden barriers historically used around forts and settlements.

The design blocks views and wind: The stockade fence kept the neighbors from seeing into the backyard.
