Quality Fence Installation
Privacy Fence Installation Boise | Equinox Fence
Privacy fence installation in Boise involves designing and constructing 6-8 foot tall cedar barriers that provide complete visual separation from neighbors and public areas. Equinox Fence specializes in premium cedar, steel, and wrought iron privacy fence installation throughout Boise, Eagle, Meridian, and Kuna, using select-grade western red cedar panels with steel post reinforcement.
Last month, I helped a family in Eagle transform their backyard from a fishbowl into a private sanctuary where their kids could play safely away from busy Floating Feather Road. Like many Treasure Valley homeowners, they needed a privacy fence that would block neighbor sight lines while enhancing their property’s beauty, curb appeal, and security. The customer was thrilled with how the new fence completely transformed their outdoor space.
Privacy Fence Materials and Construction
Western red cedar offers superior performance for Boise's climate compared to pressure-treated pine or composite alternatives. Cedar's natural oils provide resistance to moisture, insects, and decay – essential for surviving Idaho's mountain climate with temperature extremes from subzero winters to 100+ degree summers.
Our cedar sourcing focuses on select-grade lumber with minimal knots and consistent grain patterns. This premium material maintains structural integrity and attractive aesthetics for decades with minimal maintenance requirements, making it an excellent investment for your property.
Traditional wood posts represent the primary failure point in fence installations. Moisture penetration at ground level causes rot within 5-7 years, leading to fence instability and costly repairs. Our steel and wrought iron post system eliminates this vulnerability while adding architectural appeal.
We use galvanized steel and powder-coated wrought iron posts rated for Idaho's mountain climate conditions, set in concrete footings designed for freeze-thaw cycles. Cedar panels attach to metal posts using corrosion-resistant hardware, creating a hybrid system combining natural beauty with engineering-grade durability and longevity.
All fasteners utilize stainless steel or galvanized materials rated for outdoor exposure. We avoid standard wire connections and steel screws that rust and stain cedar over time. Gate hardware includes heavy-duty hinges, quality latching systems, and adjustable strike plates for long-term performance. Our access control systems accommodate everything from simple garden gates to automated commercial entry systems.
Privacy Fence Installation Cost and Timeline

Installation Pricing
Privacy fence installation costs in Boise typically range from $25-40 per linear foot for our premium cedar, steel, and wrought iron construction. This investment provides excellent value considering the longevity, beauty, and security benefits. Factors affecting pricing include:
- Fence height (6-8 feet standard)
- Total linear footage
- Terrain difficulty and accessibility
- Gate additions and hardware upgrades
- Custom design elements and aesthetics
- Site preparation requirements

Applications Beyond Residential Privacy
Local Considerations for Boise Privacy Fence Installation
Boise city requires permits for most privacy fences, especially installations over 6 feet tall. Permit costs typically range from $50-150 depending on project scope and municipality. We handle all permitting paperwork and ensure compliance with local building codes and architecture guidelines.
Eagle maintains strict architectural guidelines requiring HOA approval before installation. Meridian focuses on setback requirements and neighbor notification procedures. Kuna emphasizes utility clearance and drainage considerations. Our expert team ensures smooth approval processes across all jurisdictions.
Boise's clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, creating challenges for fence post stability. Our concrete footing specifications account for these soil conditions, using proper depth and concrete mixes designed for local geology and mountain climate conditions. Idaho's temperature swings from -20°F to 105°F require materials and construction techniques that accommodate thermal expansion. Our cedar, steel, and wrought iron system handles these extremes without warping, splitting, or structural failure common with lesser installations.
Many Boise area neighborhoods maintain architectural control committees with specific fencing requirements. We regularly work with HOAs in Eagle, Meridian, and Boise subdivisions, understanding approval processes and design standards that enhance property aesthetics. Common HOA requirements include specific fence heights, color restrictions, paint specifications, and architectural style matching. We review HOA guidelines during consultation and ensure designs meet approval requirements before construction begins.
