HOME Depot customers can scoop up a privacy fence that will elevate their backyards for less than $100.
Except, the budget-friendly offer from the retailer won’t be around forever, so interested consumers must act fast before it’s too late.

The ProWood Pine Pressure Treated Dog-Ear Flat Wood Privacy Fence is $68[/caption]
Made by ProWood, the Pine Pressure Treated Dog-Ear Flat Wood Privacy Fence is just $68.98.
It measures six feet in height, eight feet in width, and only three inches in thickness.
The wood-finished classic dog-ear pickets are a “timeless style,” according to the product description on Home Depot’s website.
Additionally, the fence is emphasized as a full-privacy design.
That means it’s ideal for residential fencing, as its secure and hard to see through or over, preventing any intrusions from nosey neighbors.
The fence is also pressure-treated for durability outdoors — it resists any rotting, decaying, or insect damage.
It can be painted or stained at the customer’s discretion as well.
There are two other aspects of the fence that are important to note.
First, shoppers should keep in mind this is a singular fence panel, so fencing in their backyard will require several panel purchases to reach completion.
Secondly, the panel can only be found in-store at Home Depot’s over 2,000 locations nationwide for the time being, as it sold out online.
Home Depot notes that a request for in-home installation services online would still work, but the fence would be a similar product, not the exact ProWood Pine Pressure Treated Dog-Ear Flat Wood Privacy Fence.
Consumers may be better off waiting for the online re-stock, as the fence is a best-seller and highly praised.
It’s earned an overall four-out-of-five star rating on Home Depot’s website with over 1,200 reviews.
Other privacy fences at the home improvement retailer have also been exceedingly popular recently.
What are the rules around privacy fences in the US?
PRIVACY fences are generally allowed in the United States, but the rules vary depending on local laws, city ordinances, and homeowners’ association (HOA) regulations.
Height restrictions typically limit front-yard fences to 3–4 feet, while backyard or side-yard fences can usually reach 6–8 feet, with taller fences sometimes requiring a special permit.
Materials such as wood, vinyl, metal, chain-link, and bamboo are usually permitted, though some HOAs may restrict certain materials or colors for aesthetic reasons.
Many local codes also require fences to be set back a certain distance from property lines, sidewalks, or streets, and corner lots often have extra rules to maintain visibility for traffic.
Safety considerations are also common, especially around driveways or pools, where visibility and child safety requirements may apply.
In some areas, a permit is required for installation, particularly for taller fences or those in specific locations.
Before putting up a fence, it’s important to check both local regulations and any HOA rules to avoid fines or having to remove the fence.
MORE MODERN?
A more modern-looking version can be obtained with the Parana Pine Wood Flat Top Horizontal Privacy Fence, for example.
It’s $99 per panel, only a bit more expensive than the ProWood.
Measurements are also six by eight feet and easily install in a backyard.
“Its clean horizontal slats and flat top design offer a modern, architectural look while delivering full privacy,” notes the product description.
The Parana Pine Wood Flat Top Horizontal Privacy Fence is also rot and decay resistant for long-lasting performance.
EASY PICKINGS
Consumers looking for more of a low-maintenance privacy fence will have luck with the Windham Vinyl Fence at Home Depot.

Lowe’s also has some attractive privacy fences this year.
