Shadowbox wood fences provide better airflow and are as durable and beautiful as other solid board fences. Part of their durability comes from the gaps between boards that is the trademark of the shadowbox style. Wind is able to flow through the fence, as opposed to pushing on it, which in the most extreme cases can result in your fence falling over. As with any wood fencing, proper maintenance will keep your shadowbox wood fence in good condition for many years to come!
