Maple Woods Fence Installation
Cedar shadow box and privacy fence specialists for Maple Woods. Both-sides-finished panels built for tight lots, shared property lines, and the kind of neighbor-friendly installation Maple Valley homeowners expect.
Shadow Box Cedar Fencing for Maple Woods Homes
Maple Woods is a quiet residential neighborhood tucked into Maple Valley's wooded plateau, with the kind of moderately sized lots and close-set houses where a fence is as much about neighbor relations as it is about privacy. The shadow box style — alternating cedar boards on opposite sides of the horizontal rails — has become a popular choice in the neighborhood because it eliminates the awkward “good side / bad side” conversation entirely. Both faces of the fence look identical, finished, and intentional.
MyFence.com has installed cedar shadow box fencing throughout Maple Woods, including tight side-yard runs between homes where access and material handling matter just as much as the finished look. Our Fence Genius measuring process captures your property line precisely so panels are manufactured to fit the run, and our crews stage materials in a way that protects landscaping and hardscape on both sides of the boundary.
Why Maple Woods Homeowners Trust MyFence.com
Shadow Box Specialists
Alternating board layouts require precise rail spacing and consistent board reveal to look right. We build shadow box fences as a standard catalog item, not a one-off — your panels arrive on site already squared and ready to install.
Identical Both Sides
No “good side” debate with your neighbor. Shadow box panels look the same from either yard, which usually shortens the conversation about where the rails should face and who pays for what.
3-Year Workmanship Warranty
Full coverage on materials and labor, including the Pacific Northwest wet-season cycle that stresses fasteners and rail joints. Maple Woods installations are backed for the long haul.
Tight-Lot Experience
Many Maple Woods runs are between closely spaced homes. We've worked these conditions enough to plan panel staging, post placement, and landscaping protection so the install moves fast without scuffing your yard.
What Maple Woods Homeowners Say
“We wanted a fence that looked nice on our neighbor's side too, and the shadow box style was exactly the right call. The crew was in and out in two days, and we've had compliments from both directions. Pre-stained cedar made the finish look professional from day one.”

Customer review, 2026
“Our side-yard run between houses was narrow and I was worried about the install scuffing up our siding or our neighbor's. The MyFence team protected everything and got the panels in cleanly. The custom gate matches the rest of the fence perfectly.”

Maple Woods Fencing Considerations
Shared Property Lines and Neighbor Aesthetics
Maple Woods lots tend to share long property-line runs with the neighbors on either side, which is exactly the situation the shadow box style was designed for. With boards alternating on both sides of the rail, each yard sees the same finished face — there's no “framework” side. That tends to defuse the conversation about who's paying, whose “side” the rails face, and how the fence reads from the neighboring patio.
Tight Side-Yard Access
Side-yard runs between homes are common in Maple Woods, and they're often narrow enough that handling full-length pre-fab panels requires planning. We measure widths first, choose panel breakdowns that fit the access, and stage material in a way that avoids dragging cedar across landscaping on either side of the line. Post placement is confirmed with both property surveys and Fence Genius measurements before any digging starts.
Pacific Northwest Moisture and Pre-Stained Cedar
Maple Valley sits in the Cascade foothills and gets over 50 inches of rain in an average year. Standard raw cedar grays out quickly under that kind of moisture load, and exposed end grain is where decay starts first. Our Maple Woods shadow box installs use pre-stained cedar so the finish is fully sealed before panels ever go in the ground, with stainless or hot-dipped fasteners that won't bleed rust streaks down the boards over time.
Custom Gates That Match the Run
Most Maple Woods projects include at least one custom gate — typically a side-yard access gate or a back patio gate. We build gates from the same shadow box pattern as the rest of the fence so the transition visually disappears. Heavy-duty hinges, drop rods where needed, and adjustable latches account for seasonal swelling and contraction of the cedar.
Fence Installation Cost in Maple Woods
Below are typical ranges for Maple Woods installations. Exact pricing depends on linear footage, gate count, side-yard access, and any landscaping or hardscape that needs protection during the install.
- Cedar shadow box (6'): $44–$64 per linear foot
- Cedar privacy (6'): $38–$58 per linear foot
- Hogwire (cedar frame): $35–$52 per linear foot
- Hybrid aluminum/cedar: $50–$70 per linear foot
Shadow box runs slightly higher than solid board on a per-foot basis because boards alternate on both sides of the rail — you're paying for the finished-both-sides appearance. Custom gates are itemized separately. Get an exact quote for your Maple Woods property with our free on-site measurement.
Popular Fence Styles in Maple Woods
Shadow Box Cedar Fence
The signature style of Maple Woods. Alternating cedar boards on both sides of the horizontal rails produce a fence that looks identical from either yard, with subtle airflow between boards. The most neighbor-friendly privacy option we offer.
View shadow box style →Cedar Privacy Fence
A more economical alternative when both sides looking identical isn't critical. Boards on a single face create a solid privacy wall, ideal for yards where the fence backs onto a greenbelt or common space rather than a neighbor's yard.
View privacy styles →Hybrid Aluminum/Cedar
Steel posts with aluminum panels in a cedar frame. Zero staining and zero ground-contact wood, so nothing rots at the base. A premium long-term option for Maple Woods homeowners who want the cedar look without the upkeep.

Our Maple Woods Installation Process
1. Maple Woods Site Assessment
We walk your property, measure the run, confirm side-yard access widths, and identify landscaping that needs protection. Fence Genius captures precise data so panel manufacturing matches the run exactly.
2. Design, Permits, and Neighbor Coordination
We finalize the shadow box layout, board reveal, gate placement, and any Maple Valley / King County permitting required for your parcel. If your run borders a neighbor, we can help frame the conversation about cost sharing and timing.
3. Pre-Fab Cedar Panel Manufacturing
Shadow box panels are built and pre-stained at our facility — boards alternated, rails squared, and finish cured before anything ships to site. This keeps Maple Woods install days short and prevents moisture from getting into raw cedar ends.
4. Maple Woods Installation
Crews arrive with finished panels, set posts in concrete with proper drainage, and align everything against the property line and existing structures. Most Maple Woods projects complete in one to three working days depending on linear footage and gate count.
5. Walkthrough & 3-Year Warranty
Final walkthrough with you reviewing every panel, post, and gate. Full 3-year workmanship warranty activated on project completion.
