Thinking About Tall Cedar Privacy in Tigard?
Tall cedar privacy for side and back yards, built with the posts and bracing an 8-foot wall of wood needs, and short cedar runs for the front.
Tall cedar is where this city stands apart. With side and rear fences allowed up to 8 feet, many owners want more than a standard 6-foot board. There are two ways to get there: longer cedar boards for a solid wall, or a 6-foot board section with a cedar lattice or slat topper that lets light through. The topper is lighter, catches less wind and looks less like a barrier from the neighbor's side.
Either way, the posts do the heavy lifting. An 8-foot cedar fence carries a lot of wind, so we usually set galvanized steel posts behind the boards, deeper and closer together than a short fence needs. Anything over 7 feet also goes through building review, which we prepare as part of the job.
Out front, the limit is 3 feet, which suits a short cedar picket or spaced-board run. On Bull Mountain, cedar's light weight helps on stepped sections, where each panel hangs from a taller post on the downhill side.

Good Reasons to Choose a Cedar Fence Here
What Affects the Cost of a Cedar Fence in Tigard
Height and post choice matter more here than in towns with a 6-foot cap.
Height
An 8-foot run uses more cedar and longer posts per foot.
Solid or topper
Long boards cost more than a 6-ft section with lattice, but look more private.
Steel posts
They cost more than wood but keep a tall fence standing.
Board grade
Clearer cedar costs more and shows fewer knots.
Review time
Fences over 7 feet add a building review step.
Gates
Tall cedar gates need steel frames or extra bracing.
