My neighbor has a pine fence with treated posts around his place. The fence has been there for a LONG time. He mixes used motor oil with diesel fuel and sprays it every year. Still in good shape.

Last summer at work we had to replace 11 boards on an 8 foot white pine fence that was at least 21 years old.  It had been stained 4 or 5 times since it was built.  Nearly every board had some rot on it but only those 11 NEEDED to be replaced.  The worst spots for rot were wherever two boards touched so I wouldn't recommend board and baton.

Joe, thats a good point. I wondered if where the boards overlapped would trap moisture. I am not sure of another design which would give me the privacy I want though.

   You might just alternate the boards on opposite sides of your stringers. Would take more bf than typical B&B fencing but would keep them from touching and capturing the moisture. Could leave a 1-2 inch gap on each side but alternate the boards so the center of one board is opposite the gap on the opposite side. Not sure if it would give complete privacy from close up. Also might create more homes ofr wasps but you will have to deal with that in almost any design.
