How To Facemount Privacy Fence Panels For A Sleek Backyard Look

The backyard has always been a significant feature in any home. Gone are the times that the look of a backyard is the last thing considered by a homeowner. With many guests spending more time in these places, having an aesthetically pleasing fence is crucial to creating a welcoming outdoor space.

But one needs to balance the aesthetic and protecting the privacy of your guests during parties or of your family when you're just lounging around, including drowning out noise. Making your backyard feel more private is not anymore that hard. And this is where a privacy fence comes in handy. Fortunately, you don't need to really hire professionals to have privacy panels. You can even DIY a privacy wall, or even facemount privacy fence panels on your own. It's an easy solution that not only enhances your backyard's look but also provides the seclusion you desire without breaking the bank.

Facemounting privacy fence panels only requires you to attach them directly to the fence posts instead of the usual methods, which include post-and-rail and board-on-board framings, among others. This technique often results in a cleaner appearance that is easier to design with any backyard decoration.

Before embarking on the process, you need to have your materials. These include privacy fence panels, wooden or metal posts, mounting brackets, screws, and a level. You can begin by measuring the area where you plan to install your fence panels and marking the locations for your posts. Once done with measurements, you can now dig holes that are one-third the height of your posts. You can then insert your posts and fill them with concrete for added stability.

You can then take your privacy fence panels and use mounting brackets to attach them directly to the face of the posts. Use a level to ensure that the panels are straight and aligned, before screwing them into place. Repeat the process until all panels are installed. You can even consider putting on a protective finish to contribute to your fence's durability. 

Using the facemounting method allows you greater flexibility when it comes to designing the final look of your backyard fence. This means that aside from the increased privacy that these panels offer, you can also benefit from their sleek look that can accommodate your design preference. You can even use a fence topper for extra backyard privacy!
