If you’ve chosen the HOFT Privacy Fence Kit for your outdoor space, you already know it’s designed to make life easier: fast installation, clean lines, and the kind of customization big-box kits rarely offer. But there’s an easy way to take your new fence from privacy panel to the ultimate backyard showpiece—by accessorizing with details that add beauty, function, and real-world convenience.
Why Accessorize Your HOFT Fence?
Here at The Ultimate Deck Shop, we’ve worked with thousands of DIYers and professionals across Saskatchewan and beyond. One thing is clear: the small details make a huge difference. HOFT’s smart design lets you transform their fencing system with a few choice accessories—giving your fence a custom look and making your life easier in the process.
1. HOFT Gate Frame Kit: Create Seamless Entry and Exit Points
No backyard fence system is complete without a proper gate. The HOFT Gate Frame Kit is built specifically for horizontal boards and integrates perfectly with your HOFT privacy panels. This kit includes two pre-pierced U-channels for easy screw-in assembly, so you don’t have to hassle with adapting clunky universal gates or fight with ill-fitting hardware.
- Allows for the same board pattern and finish as your fence—no mismatched gates
- Easy installation with included hardware
- Powder-coated aluminum won’t rust or fade in Canadian weather
2. HOFT Outdoor Shelf 24": Add Smart Storage and Display Space
If you’re looking to turn your fence into more than just a privacy barrier, the HOFT Accessory Outdoor Shelf 24" is ideal. Made of black powder-coated steel, this shelf clips directly into the grooves of your HOFT system—meaning no drilling, no nails, and no headaches. Instantly gain valuable storage or decorative space for plants, lanterns, or backyard party essentials.
- Effortless slide-in installation—no need to modify your fence
- Rearrange or remove any time to suit your needs
- Mix and match with other HOFT accessories
3. HOFT 3" Hooks (2-Pack): Smart Solutions for Hanging Everything
Give your HOFT fence multi-purpose functionality with HOFT Accessory 3" Hooks (2-Pack). These sturdy, powder-coated hooks slide securely into the HOFT post system. They’re the perfect solution for hanging garden tools, string lights, grilling utensils, lanterns, or even privacy curtains. We see a lot of DIYers use these to keep the backyard tidy and organized, especially near outdoor kitchens and dining spaces.
- Quick to install (no tools!), infinitely repositionable
- Supports substantial weight—built for outdoor use
- Blends with the fence for a unified aesthetic
4. HOFT Accessory Rail Filler 31": Create Clean Transitions and Custom Fence Heights
One detail HOFT gets right, and we wish more fence brands copied, is their thoughtful use of finishing fillers. The HOFT Accessory Rail Filler 31" fills the small gaps between your top board and the rail or helps manage transitions between fence sections of different heights (for instance, stepping down near a driveway or patio). Clean details matter, especially with modern horizontal fencing.
- Cut to fit with a basic utility knife
- Keeps lines crisp and professional-looking
- Only available through HOFT dealers like us; not a generic trim
5. HOFT Extra Spacers 12 Pack: For Custom Board Widths and Enhanced Security
If you’re using boards narrower than standard, or want to install additional boards for extra privacy/security, you’ll need extra spacers. HOFT Accessory Extra Spacers 12pk are designed for this very need. Slid into the grooves alongside your timber or composite boards, these spacers act as ‘nails’ to lock everything tight and uniform—no warping or gap creep over time.
- Essential for unique privacy patterns or narrow-width designs
- Guarantees structural consistency throughout seasons
- Simple slide-in install makes upgrades easy even after the fence is built
Bonus: Personalize with Privacy Screens or Decorative Options
While not strictly an ‘accessory,’ adding a partial or full-height HOFT Privacy Screen can change the whole feel of your backyard—great for poolside areas or urban lots where extra seclusion is needed. Check out the HOFT Privacy Screen 6' for a modern, modular solution, or view our full 8' fence kits for maximum coverage.
Some Real World Advice from The Ultimate Deck Shop Team
We love HOFT because—unlike so many fencing systems—it’s truly modular and hackable. Want a spot for your BBQ tools or a mini herb garden? You can do it. Need extra security for pets or kids? Add more boards with the extra spacers. Got a unique corner, grade change, or want a wow-factor gate? HOFT’s trim and gate kits make it possible—with no need for custom welding or time-consuming carpentry tricks.
Most importantly, every accessory we recommend is something we’ve used ourselves or seen work in real Regina and Saskatoon backyards. These aren’t generic bolt-ons—they’re tailored to the system you’ve already invested in, backed by years of field-tested experience. Our in-store team is genuinely happy to help you choose the right combination and share tips for a successful build.
