A friend likes the fence otherwise and wants to hire the same company,

Its not the installers fault, or the woods fault, what you describe is
normal. The only way to make a wood fence you cant see through is to
use T&G (tongue and groove) boards or a design that laps the boards.

Thanks. I guess full privacy was never possible, at least here, since
the people in the next house can look out their second floor window
and see what's going on.

But I would think the two designs you suggest woudl be more popular. I
don't remember seeing them advertised.
