Vinyl Horizontal Privacy Fence Panel, 7ft height 6ft width, Mesquite
Ashford CollectionMesquite lands as a rich, mid-tone wood color in Ashford’s Smooth Woodgrain lineup, formerly sold under the name Driftwood, warmer than the darker walnuts and sequoias nearby. At 7 feet, the panel sits a foot under Ashford’s tallest listing, tall enough for a lot where 6 feet still leaves you in view.
Seven tongue-and-groove boards interlock fully across the section, so no sightline gets through. Rails and boards both carry internal metal reinforcement in Mesquite at this height. Loop PVAF in on your project details for a free quote.

About the Ashford Mesquite 7 ft Horizontal Privacy Fence Panel
Ashford lays its solid tongue-and-groove boards horizontally, a more contemporary line than PVAF’s vertical privacy panels while keeping the same fully gap-free privacy.
Mesquite is one of six Smooth Woodgrain colors in the fourteen-color catalog, sold under an earlier name, Driftwood, before the catalog settled on Mesquite; the color itself is a rich, mid-tone wood finish, warmer than the darker Dark Walnut or Dark Sequoia nearby on the same shelf.
Standing 7 feet, this panel sits a foot under the tallest listing in the Ashford range, sized for a lot where a 6-foot fence still leaves you overlooked by a neighbor’s second story or a rear alley.
PVAF reaches the height in a 5-foot-plus-2-foot proportion, giving a finished section that measures 84 inches high by 72 inches wide on 5×5 posts set 84 inches into concrete. Three pocket rails, top, middle, and bottom, frame seven tongue-and-groove boards.
At this height, the reinforcement in Mesquite runs through the whole assembly: metal inserts inside all three rails plus three metal-reinforced tongue-and-groove pieces, so the panel resists wind load along its full height rather than only at the frame.
Mesquite’s wood tone is worked through the vinyl, never painted onto it, so peeling and fading are not maintenance items to plan for; a rinse now and then keeps the color looking as it did on day one, with no sanding or repainting ever needed. The panel carries a transferable limited lifetime warranty, and PVAF backs its own installation separately with a 5-year workmanship warranty, so the labor is covered too.
Matching gates come in the same Mesquite finish, built to whatever opening size the layout calls for, and PVAF fabricates custom heights and widths beyond the standard catalog sizes. Contact PVAF’s team with your yard’s size, and we’ll price the job free.

Customer Reviews
- Nicole F. Verified Buyer
Our appraiser actually called out the new fence when we refinanced. It is 6 ft Dark Walnut across the back and 4 ft in the front yard. Both in the same boards so the house reads as one thing now.
Took about three weeks from signing to done. The front section gets a comment almost every week from someone walking by.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Nicole. That is a nice thing to hear.
- Ahmad R. Verified Buyer
Our built in grill sits about four feet off the fence line and I asked about heat before ordering. They told me straight what the clearance should be instead of guessing at it. We moved the run back a foot and it has been fine.
A summer of cooking and no warping behind the grill. The Clay hides smoke marks better than white would.
- Terry B. Verified Buyer
I priced the vinyl kits at the home center and almost did it myself. These panels are heavier and the rails hold the boards in a pocket instead of screws through the face. Once I put them side by side it was not close.
Paid more and had them do the install. Zero regrets eleven months on. The 6 ft White has not moved an inch.
- Ivan K. Verified Buyer
Six foot bays with the 5 by 5 posts and caps give it a rhythm you notice from the sidewalk. My old fence had posts at random spacing and it always looked off. This one is even the whole way down.
Boards are flat and tight with no gap between courses. A year in the sun and none of them have cupped or pulled out.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Ivan. Even spacing is worth the setup time.
- Tom V. Verified Buyer
Panels themselves are good and the Clay matched the house better than white would have. One section showed up scuffed on the delivery and I had to call about it.
They swapped that panel out four days later at no charge. Would have preferred it right the first time but the fix was quick. Six months in and the run still looks new.
Response from PVAF
Sorry about the scuff, Tom. Glad the swap was fast.
- Melissa G. Verified Buyer
We did the back yard last year and only had the budget for two sides. Called them this spring to finish the third and they matched the Coastal Cedar without me sending a photo. They still had it in the file.
You cannot tell where last year stops and this year starts. That was what I was most worried about. Same crew lead too.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Melissa. Glad the color carried over.
- Dale M. Verified Buyer
I needed a gate wide enough to back a small trailer through and most companies wanted to sell me a standard opening. They built a ten foot double in the same Tan boards. It clears the trailer with room on both sides.
The drop rod seats in a sleeve so it does not sag open. The rest of the run is 6 ft along two sides.
- Bao T. Verified Buyer
Used them on our first house four years ago and called them again for this one. Same 6 ft horizontal, this time in Weathered Blend instead of White. The build quality has not slipped in between.
Same lead crew showed up, which says something. The job ran two days and the invoice matched the quote to the dollar.
Response from PVAF
Good to have you back, Bao.
- Craig L. Verified Buyer
We rent the house out part of the year and guests kept complaining about the neighbor sightlines into the spa. Put 7 ft along that side and the complaints stopped entirely. The middle rail on that height keeps it from bowing.
Two seasons of guests and nothing has been damaged. Rinse it between stays and it looks new.
- Sandra W. Verified Buyer
I went back and forth between Gray and Slate Gray for two solid weeks. They sent both samples out again rather than telling me to just pick one. Slate Gray won because it does not go blue in the afternoon light.
Sixty five feet across the back in 6 ft panels. It looks like a wall in the good way. My daughter calls it the modern fence.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Sandra. Slate Gray holds up in that light.
- Neil A. Verified Buyer
Roughly two hundred feet along the property line and I was worried about it wandering. They ran a string the whole length before setting a single post. Sight down the top rail and it is dead straight.
Three days of work for all of it. Gray, 6 ft, with one walk gate at the far end. They came back later to check the concrete.
- Steve B. Verified Buyer
Ordered Slate Gray panels plus a matching gate for the side yard. The gate color lines up exactly with the run, which is the part I was worried about after seeing another quote.
Install took one day and they hauled off all the old posts. Latch has held fine through a wet winter. Kids and the dog cannot get it open.
- Grant S. Verified Buyer
Our soil is basically decomposed granite and the last fence leaned inside of a year. They dug deeper and set the 5 by 5 posts in concrete. Nothing has moved on this one since.
Went 6 ft in Weathered Aspen across the back and one side, about 110 feet of it. Two winters of rain and the line is still dead true.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Grant. Deeper holes were the right call there.
- Diane E. Verified Buyer
I picked Brazilian Blend because I liked the darker grain, and I was told dark colors are the ones that fade. Two summers of Riverside heat and I cannot see a difference between the sunny end and the shaded end.
I only rinse it when the dust builds up. That is the only thing I have done to it. Wood would have needed two coats by now.
- Nathan C. Verified Buyer
The fence is fine and the panels are clearly well made. Scheduling was the weak spot for us, we got pushed twice before they got out here. Once the crew arrived the work was quick and clean.
I would use them again but I would build in a buffer week. The 6 ft Clay looks good and the posts are dead plumb.
Response from PVAF
Fair, Nathan. We were behind that month and we are sorry.
- Omar H. Verified Buyer
My side yard narrows to 41 inches at one point and no stock panel was going to work there. They cut a section to fit and it looks like it was always meant to be that size. No filler strip jammed in.
Small job, and they treated it like a big one. The estimator measured twice and it arrived at the exact width.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Omar, that side yard was a fun one.
- Ray O. Verified Buyer
Our lot sits downhill from the neighbor so we needed the 8ft build in Dark Walnut. That height carries a third rail through the middle and you can feel how solid it is.
Santa Ana winds came through in November and nothing moved or rattled. The woodgrain honestly passes for real plank from the patio. Worth the extra over the 6ft.
Response from PVAF
Appreciate it Ray. That third rail earns its keep.
- Javier M. Verified Buyer
We back up to a canyon and coyotes were coming through the old rail fence at night. A solid 6 ft with nothing to climb has stopped it cold. The cats stay in the yard now and I sleep better for it.
Went with Brazilian Blend so it does not glare white against the hillside. Nine months and the sun has not touched it.
Response from PVAF
Thank you Javier. Glad the cats are staying put.
- Rob F. Verified Buyer
I ran the math against cedar and the vinyl won once I priced out stain and labor every third year. Nothing to sand and nothing to rot out. So far that is holding true.
A year and a half on the 6 ft Gray and I have washed it exactly once. The material warranty transfers if we sell, which was a small bonus.
- Carla B. Verified Buyer
I ordered a matching double gate in the same Tan so the driveway side would be one continuous line. It swings without dragging and the color is an exact match, not just close enough. The hardware is heavier than I expected.
The whole job ran two days including the gate. It still latches on the first try.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Carla. Enjoy the new gate.
- Ruth K. Verified Buyer
The city has a 42 inch limit in the front setback here and I did not know that until they told me. We put the 3 ft height out front and the 6 ft behind the setback line. No red tag and no rework.
They pulled the permit for us. Two heights of the same boards looks deliberate from the street. Both in Slate Gray.
- Paul N. Verified Buyer
We went back and forth between the vertical and the horizontal panels for weeks. The horizontal boards make the yard read wider, which is what we wanted on a shallow lot. Privacy is the same either way you go.
Six months in with no sagging in the middle of any bay. The boards sit in a pocket rail top and bottom, which helps.
- Brian E. Verified Buyer
They showed up at 7 both mornings and were gone by 3 in the afternoon. Cleaned every scrap of vinyl and all the dirt from the post holes off my driveway. My last contractor left a pile sitting for a month.
Fence is 6 ft in Dark Sequoia and it looks exactly like the sample. They reset a sprinkler head they clipped without me asking.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Brian. Good to hear about the crew.
- Bethany K. Verified Buyer
The neighbors added a second story deck that looks straight into our kitchen. We went 7 ft along that side and it took care of most of it. That height carries a middle rail, which I did not know about, and it makes the panel feel solid.
Not cheap. Still glad we did it. We have the kitchen window back.
- Frank D. Verified Buyer
The old fence was forty year old redwood with concrete footings buried deep. They pulled every post and the concrete with it, then hauled the whole pile off the same day. That was the part I was dreading most.
New 6 ft in Dark Walnut went up the following morning. Nothing left in my driveway when they drove off.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Frank. Demo day is the ugly one.
- Sam W. Verified Buyer
We did the 4 ft height across the front so we still get the street view but the yard is defined. Arctic Blend came out lighter in person than it looked online, which turned out fine against our gray house.
Two of the neighbors have since put in the same thing. It frames the yard without closing the house off from the street.
- Priya R. Verified Buyer
Our HOA takes a while to approve anything and they sent the spec sheet we needed without any back and forth. Approved in about three weeks and we got scheduled right after.
We picked Coastal Cedar for the 6ft sections around the pool. Passes the pool inspection with no gaps at the bottom. Looks like cedar from ten feet away.
Response from PVAF
Thanks for having us out, Priya.
- Hector I. Verified Buyer
One panel showed up with a scuff along the top rail. I called on Monday, they had a replacement section out by Thursday and swapped it themselves. Nobody argued about whose fault it was.
Everything else about the 6 ft Mesquite has been solid since last summer. That grain reads closer to real wood than I expected.
Response from PVAF
Glad the swap was quick, Hector. Thanks for the patience.
- Tyler O. Verified Buyer
The boys play ball against the fence side of the driveway constantly. The 6 ft White panels have taken a year of that with no cracks or dents. A wood fence would have splintered by now.
Ball marks wipe off with a wet rag. Only the U-channel on one end has a scuff. I expected to be repairing something by now.
- Trent M. Verified Buyer
I ordered in late spring which is apparently their busy stretch, so it was about four weeks out. They told me that up front instead of promising a date they could not hit. The install itself was a day and a half.
Sierra Blend, 6 ft tall, roughly ninety feet of run. A full winter of rain and no swelling anywhere.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Trent, appreciate the patience on timing.
- Lourdes V. Verified Buyer
Our sprinklers threw hard water spots across the bottom boards within a month. A hose and a soft brush took it right off with no scrubbing. I moved the head anyway to be safe.
Two years of that and the Weathered Blend still looks the same as it did new. The color runs all the way through so scuffs do not show white.
- Alan F. Verified Buyer
Found them because two houses on our block already had the horizontal panels and I liked how they aged. Ours went up in Tan last spring and it looks the same as theirs did after four years. That was the whole test for me.
Install was one day for about seventy feet. They pulled the old wood and took it with them.
Response from PVAF
Appreciate the referral chain, Alan.
- Victor N. Verified Buyer
We had a block wall that was just short enough for the neighbor to see over our patio. They set a 2 ft horizontal cap on top of it in Slate Gray and that solved it. Half a day of work start to finish.
Most places would not even quote a job that small. These guys did. The gray blends into the block better than I expected.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Victor, the small jobs are welcome here.
- Doug P. Verified Buyer
Full afternoon sun on the south side, easily 105 degrees in September. The White panels have not chalked or gone brittle at all. I check the fasteners twice a year out of habit and everything is still tight.
Second summer now. Same color as the day they hung it. My neighbor put in painted wood and is already touching it up.
- Marcus W. Verified Buyer
We ran about 90 feet of the 6ft horizontal privacy panels in Tan across the back of the lot. The boards lock together tight and there is no gap to look through anywhere along the run.
Crew measured on a Tuesday and set the whole thing the next week. It sits level even though the yard drops close to a foot. Big step up from the wood fence we pulled out.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Marcus, glad the run came out level.
- Ken S. Verified Buyer
The guy who came out measured, asked what we were trying to block, and left a number. No pitch about upgrades we did not need. He talked me down from 7 ft to 6 ft because the slope already gained us a foot.
That saved us real money and he did not have to say it. Fence went in three weeks later in Sierra Blend.
- Jenna S. Verified Buyer
Two beagles who used to squeeze under the old chain link. We went 5 ft horizontal in Clay and they have not found a way out in a year. The tongue and groove leaves nothing for them to nose open.
Only gripe is the gate latch sits a little high for my daughter. Minor thing. Everything else has been what we hoped for.
- Andre B. Verified Buyer
The back yard drops close to two feet across the run and I was worried about gaps under the panels. They stepped it down bay by bay and trimmed the bottom boards to follow the grade. No dog sized holes anywhere along it.
The foreman walked the whole line with me before they poured any posts. He caught a low spot I had not noticed.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Andre. Glad the step down worked out.
- Yvette C. Verified Buyer
They dropped off real sample pieces instead of pointing me at a screen. I had Mesquite and Coastal Cedar leaning against the house for a week before I decided. The textured one photographs darker than it looks in person.
Ended up with Mesquite across the whole back. Best call I made on the project. My husband thinks I overthought it.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Yvette. The samples are worth the week.
- Wes K. Verified Buyer
Got three quotes and PVAF landed in the middle, not the cheapest of them. What sold me was that they build the panels to my measurements instead of forcing stock widths. My run had two odd bays and both came out clean.
Deposit to finished fence was about three weeks. They called the day before to confirm, which not everyone does.
- Desmond P. Verified Buyer
A eucalyptus limb came down across the back fence during the January storm. Two boards cracked and the posts did not budge at all. I pulled the broken boards out of the pocket rails and dropped new ones in myself.
They sold me the replacement boards without a fuss. Cheaper than I braced for and it looks like nothing happened.
- Marisol C. Verified Buyer
I wanted the look of a wood fence without staining it every other year. Coastal Cedar was the one, it has real grain texture and not just a printed stripe. Up close it still reads as vinyl but from ten feet you would not guess.
Six months in and no fading on the west facing run yet. I rinse it when I wash the car and that is the whole list.
Response from PVAF
Thank you Marisol. Coastal Cedar is a good pick.
- Chad V. Verified Buyer
Built a dog run along the north side and needed the same panels so it would not look like an add on. They matched the Clay from the main fence exactly. Two of the bays are shorter than standard and you cannot tell.
The shepherd has not gotten a paw over the 6 ft. She used to clear the old chain link in a second.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Chad. Six feet usually settles that argument.
- Dennis H. Verified Buyer
We are up on a ridge in Chatsworth and the Santa Anas hit us hard every fall. I asked for the 8 ft and they put the metal insert in the rails and the boards. Two wind seasons and nothing has flexed or worked loose.
It cost more than the 6 ft would have. Worth it up here. The matching gate on that side has not sagged either.
Response from PVAF
Appreciate it Dennis. That ridge earns the reinforcement.
- Lena P. Verified Buyer
I only needed about fourteen feet to hide the trash cans and the AC unit from the walkway. They matched the 5 ft height to what we already had in the back. Same Weathered Aspen, same boards, same everything.
It looks intentional rather than tacked on. They were done in an afternoon and hauled the old wood screen away.
- Curtis D. Verified Buyer
We needed something that would pass pool inspection and not look like a jail yard. Went 5 ft horizontal in White with a gate to match. The inspector signed off on the first visit with no notes.
Kids cannot get a toe hold on the boards since they sit flush. That was the whole point for us. Splash marks hose off in a minute.
- Dana A. Verified Buyer
Went with the 4ft height in White for the front yard so we could still see the street. It sits low enough to keep the view and the neighbors liked how it turned out.
Two summers of full sun now and the white has not gone chalky. I hose it off maybe twice a year and that is the whole job. No repainting like the old picket fence needed.
- Renee O. Verified Buyer
Our HOA took six weeks to approve the plan and PVAF held our install slot the whole time. We picked Tan because it matches the stucco, and it does, closely. Sixty feet of it runs along the driveway side.
The horizontal boards were the part the board actually liked. Install took one long day and they were done. Nobody has complained since.
- Gabriel M. Verified Buyer
Corner lot on a busy street and the old fence did nothing for the noise. The 6 ft horizontal in Dark Sequoia knocked down enough of it that we use the patio again. Not soundproof, but a real difference.
It also stopped the headlights sweeping into the living room at night. A year in and no rattling in the wind.
- Kyle B. Verified Buyer
Our old redwood fence was falling apart after twelve years so we went with the 6 ft horizontal in Dark Walnut. The boards lock together tight and you cannot see through anywhere. It reads more like a modern wall than a fence.
Crew set the posts on a Tuesday and hung panels the next morning. Two neighbors have already asked who did it.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Kyle, the walnut looks good on that street.
- Ellis T. Verified Buyer
We have a low retaining wall along the side that gave us zero privacy from the driveway next door. The 3 ft horizontal in Gray sits right on top of it and lines up clean. Nobody would guess it was added later.
Took them one morning including the anchors. The crew cleaned the wall cap before they set anything. Small job but nothing about it felt rushed.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Ellis. Glad it lines up with the wall.
