Key Features

This shadow box fence shop drawing includes:

  • 6'7" panel width between posts
  • 6' to 8' (1.83 to 2.44 m) height range
  • Boards alternating front and back of the rails
  • Three horizontal rails
  • Bottom board running the width of the panel
  • End posts on both sides

The rails show through the gaps on both faces, so neither neighbor gets the back of the fence, which makes this style easy to sell on a shared lot line.

What is a Shadow Box Fence?

A shadow box fence hangs boards on alternating sides of the rails, so it looks the same from either yard and lets some air move through. In ArcSite, you can set the height anywhere in the 6' to 8' range and keep the board pattern intact.

FAQ

Does this drawing show how much the boards overlap?

No. It shows boards alternating on each side of the rails across a 6'7" panel. Set your overlap in ArcSite based on the board width you're using.

Can I change the height to 8'?

Absolutely. You can stretch the panel to any height in the 6' to 8' range in ArcSite.

Can I open ArcSite drawings in AutoCAD?

Yes! ArcSite exports DWG and DXF files, so an architect or engineer can open your drawing in AutoCAD or other CAD software.
