We’re tackling how to build a framed-panel fence in this tutorial. While fencing might not seem like the most obvious area to customize, a framed-panel fence adds a nice, distinctive touch to your yard.
Our custom-design fence section uses a decorative panel from Modinex that will screw onto the frame we build and be bordered by one-by-four cedar fence boards. (You can also make DIY fence panels, if you want.) The decorative panel we chose is a quarter-inch thick and measures 3’ by 6’. We’re centering it side-to-side within the fence section, but pushing it toward the top of the section because short plants will eventually be placed in front of the fence. We’ll work from top to bottom, so once you have your fence posts in place, it’s time to get started constructing your framed-panel fence.
First, position the top rail. You’ll then want to pre-drill the panel before mounting the top side of the panel. Next, position the middle rail and attach vertical framing pieces. Then install the bottom rail, fasten the panel in place, and attach fence boards. A quick note about attaching fence boards: Be sure to cut boards to a narrower width as needed. You’ll notice we worked from the outside in and used a narrow board at the center point of our short boards.
Choose a fence post cap that fits your style-there are tons of options to pick from-then step back and admire your handiwork of your new framed-panel fence.
