Fencing That Marries Beauty and Strength
Your backyard should feel like an escape — private, peaceful, and perfectly styled. But finding a fence that delivers both function and beauty can be tricky.
Enter the basket weave fence, one of the most versatile and eye-catching designs available today.
At Ocala Florida Fence Pros, we specialize in crafting hurricane-tested, HOA-approved fences that look as good as they perform. Basket weave fencing has become one of our most requested styles for homeowners across Ocala, Marion County, and Central Florida who want a balance of elegance, durability, and privacy.
1. What Is a Basket Weave Fence?
The basket weave fence gets its name from its unique overlapping panel pattern that resembles woven fabric or wicker. Instead of traditional straight planks, alternating boards weave through vertical posts, creating a textured 3D look.
Key benefits include:
- Enhanced Privacy: The overlapping boards block visibility while allowing airflow.
- Visual Appeal: Adds dimension and shadow depth to your landscape.
- Customizable Materials: Can be built from wood, vinyl, or composite depending on your style.
- Structural Strength: Flexible yet sturdy, ideal for Florida’s high winds.
It’s a statement piece for your yard — combining artistry with practicality.

- Weather Resistance: Properly sealed wood or weatherproof vinyl stands up to Florida humidity and storms.

Proper care keeps your fence looking new year after year.
Maintenance tips by Ocala Florida Fence Pros:
- Wash your fence every 3–6 months to remove dirt and algae.
- Reseal or stain wooden fences annually.
- Check for loose boards or posts after major storms.
- Avoid letting sprinklers constantly hit your fence — it shortens lifespan.
For vinyl or composite, maintenance is simple: just rinse with a garden hose.
