Privacy Fencing in Thornton, COWood, Vinyl & Chain Link Built for Colorado Backyards
The most requested fence we install — built to keep your yard private, your kids and pets contained, and your neighbors’ view right where it belongs.
Privacy Fencing Options
Privacy fencing comes in three materials, each suited to a different yard and budget.
Wood Fence Installation
The classic backyard privacy fence — natural look, lower upfront cost, and a solid choice when it’s set at the right post depth for our clay soil.

Vinyl Fence Installation
Costs more upfront but needs almost no upkeep after that. Holds up best against Colorado’s sun and freeze-thaw winters.

Chain Link Fence Installation
The budget option, and often the easiest to get approved on corner lots. Privacy slats are available for more coverage.
Learn More →Privacy fencing is the single most requested part of our Fence Contractor work, and it’s easy to see why — nothing changes how you use a backyard faster than a fence that actually blocks the view in. Whether you’re fencing in a bare lot for the first time or replacing something that finally rotted through, we’ll help you land on the right material for your yard, your budget, and your HOA.
Why Add a Privacy Fence to Your Yard
A privacy fence changes what a backyard actually feels like to use. Without one, you’re aware of every neighbor’s window, every dog walker passing your patio, every set of eyes on your pool or hot tub. With one, the yard turns into an actual room — somewhere you can sit outside without thinking about who’s watching.
It solves problems that have nothing to do with looks, too. A tall wood or vinyl fence cuts down on street noise more than people expect, keeps a dog from fence-fighting with the neighbor’s, and gives kids room to run without you tracking them from the kitchen window every five minutes.
What Counts as a Privacy Fence in Thornton
Thornton allows solid wood or vinyl privacy fencing up to 6 feet tall in the side and rear yard — that’s where almost every privacy fence we build goes. Front yards are capped at 4 feet, and corner lots have a lower 2.5-foot limit near the street for visibility, so a full privacy fence usually isn’t an option right along the sidewalk.
One rule that catches people off guard: if you and a neighbor are both fencing along a shared property line, Thornton requires at least 5 feet of gap between parallel fences. It’s worth knowing before you plan a project, especially on smaller lots where that gap eats into usable yard. Go over 7 feet anywhere and you’ll need a building permit — something we handle either way, so it’s one less thing on your plate.
Privacy fencing is also the fence type most HOAs care about most, since it’s usually the most visible from the street or a neighbor’s yard. A lot of Thornton communities restrict color, material, or style for backyard privacy fences specifically, on top of whatever the city allows. We check both before recommending anything, so you’re not stuck redoing work after the fact.
Choosing Between Wood, Vinyl, and Chain Link
Wood
Stays the most popular pick for a reason: it looks like a backyard fence is supposed to look, and costs less than vinyl upfront.
Stain or seal every 2–3 years to hold color and keep water out.
Vinyl
Costs more to install but essentially stops needing attention once it’s up — install once, stop thinking about it.
Occasional hose-down. No sealing, no painting, no rot.
Chain Link
Won’t give full visual privacy alone, but it’s the most affordable option. Add privacy slats for more coverage.
Lowest of the three — watch for surface rust at joints after many years.
Why Thornton Homeowners Choose Us for Privacy Fencing
We measure your property in person before quoting anything, and we check your fence against Thornton’s height rules and your HOA’s guidelines before we ever start digging. That means no surprise stop-work orders, no redoing a fence because it was built two inches too tall.
Most fence companies push whatever material is easiest for them to install. We install all three — wood, vinyl, and chain link — so the recommendation you get is based on your yard, your budget, and your HOA, not on what’s most convenient for us.
