Kentucky fencing - 3 board or 4 board?
I was looking at something (probably real estate), and the article or the description mentioned something called "Kentucky fencing." What is that exactly? Is it 3-board or 4-board fencing? Is it white in color, black, or unstained wood? Is it a well known type of fence that is generally used in Kentucky because of horses?
Thanks.  |

Well, our neighborhood association dictates that we use "Kentucky style fence" which it defines as three-board, painted black, similar to this but in black:
Not sure if that is a standard name for that style of fence, or a more generic term that can be defined as it applies. Maybe someone else can offer more insight!
ETA: Many of the nearby horse farms seem to use a 4-board fence. |

Ok - it is too late to edit my last post...but once I got home I realized that our neighborhood uses 4-board fences, not 3-board, which they call "Kentucky style fencing". Ooops! |

I think it can be 3 or 4 board and I have seen white and black, although black is easier to keep up.

Thanks to one and all! Ah Ha! There really is a style of fence called "Kentucky fence." The next time I see that phrase as part of a lot's description, I'll know what they mean. |
