These distinctive fences feature vertical wooden posts (latillas) secured with horizontal rails, creating the iconic look that grace Santa Fe's most beautiful properties.

Coyote Fence FAQs
What's the difference between a coyote fence and a regular privacy fence?
Coyote fences have vertical latilla posts spaced apart, creating an open appearance. They're a traditional Southwest style, not meant for privacy but for boundary definition and aesthetic.
How tall can a coyote fence be in Santa Fe?
Most residential coyote fences are 4-5 feet tall. Taller fences may require a permit. We can help you determine the best height for your needs.
Do coyote fences provide security?
While they define boundaries clearly, coyote fences are more decorative than secure. For added security, we recommend combining with other fencing types.
How do I maintain a coyote fence?
Occasional restaining helps preserve the wood. Replace any cracked or split posts as needed. The natural weathering look is part of the charm.
