Quick answer: Privacy Fences. Southeastern Renovation is a licensed South Carolina general contractor (CLG.127339) serving the Charleston Lowcountry and York County, SC. Work is coordinated by Southeastern Renovation as the general contractor. Licensed trade subcontractors handle work requiring their trade credentials; permit responsibilities depend on the project scope and jurisdiction. Call (843) 718-8177 for an estimate.
Height limits, permitted materials and which side faces out are frequently set by the HOA or the town, and they differ street to street. Ordering material before checking is the most common way a privacy fence job goes wrong.
Solid panels catch wind. In an area that gets named storms, that is a structural consideration rather than an aesthetic one — post depth, spacing and bracing all change when the fence becomes a sail.
Timber choice is a maintenance decision. Pressure-treated is the common default and will grey without finishing; other species cost more up front and are chosen for appearance rather than for lifespan.

It depends on your town and often on your HOA, and the two can differ. It is the first thing to check, because it decides material quantities and therefore the price.
They catch far more wind than a spaced fence, so post depth and bracing matter more. It is a structural question here rather than a stylistic one.
Not unless it is finished and refinished. Pressure-treated timber greys, which many people like — but if you want it to stay as installed, that is a maintenance commitment worth knowing about at the start.
