Vinyl Horizontal Privacy Fence Panel w/Acrylic Top, 5ft height 6ft width, Clay
Brighton Horizontal CollectionEven at Brighton’s shortest height, Clay is built to the same full-reinforcement standard it carries throughout the line: metal inserts through the top rail, bottom rail, middle rail, and the boards themselves, well past Tan’s single insert or White’s bare frame at five feet.
Four feet of solid board sits below the standard one-foot frosted acrylic band. A small yard needing extra durability, rather than just entry-level coverage, is where this build pays off. Get a free Clay quote today.

About the Brighton 5ft Clay Horizontal Privacy Panel
Clay’s full reinforcement carries over unchanged to Brighton’s shortest size: metal inserts through the top rail, bottom rail, middle rail, and the tongue-and-groove boards, the heaviest build this style offers at any height, including this five-foot entry point. Actual dimensions measure 60 inches tall by 72 wide on 5×5 posts cut to 84 inches, four boards deep below the standard one-foot frosted acrylic band.
Neither Tan’s single bottom-rail insert nor White’s unreinforced frame matches this level of backing at five feet, which makes the Clay panel an outlier among Brighton’s shortest sizes: full-strength construction on the collection’s smallest footprint rather than the lighter build usually paired with an entry height.
Six feet of width carries through unchanged at this size just as it does at every taller Brighton height, so the five-foot Clay panel differs from its siblings only in overall stature, not in footprint or in how the acrylic band reads: frosted, light-passing, never see-through.
A small yard that still faces real wind exposure, a short boundary run along an open side, or simply a buyer who wants the sturdiest build available regardless of height is where this combination fits.
The deep clay tone runs through the vinyl itself, not a surface coating, so the maintenance routine stays limited to routine cleaning, no repainting ever required regardless of how much direct sun the run takes over the years.
PVAF’s own 5-year workmanship warranty covers the install, standing apart from the vinyl’s transferable limited lifetime material warranty; the same full-reinforcement gate option is available to match this five-foot Clay run. Request your free Clay quote and we’ll map out next steps from there.

Customer Reviews
- Garrison D. Verified Buyer
Third quote and the only one that made the panels in their own shop. The other two were reselling the same stock panel. That is why I went with them and it worked out.
8ft along the back, 6ft on the sides, all in tan with the acrylic band. Took four days and the finish work is tight everywhere I looked.
- Estella O. Verified Buyer
We used the 5ft in front where the yard meets the driveway. Full privacy was not the point, we just wanted something clean looking. It matches the 6ft run in back.
The horizontal boards and the frosted strip look modern without shouting. Two neighbors have asked for the company name since. Glad we did the front too.
Response from PVAF
Appreciate the referrals, Estella.
- Harold P. Verified Buyer
Simple job and they treated it like a big one. Six sections and a gate on the side of the house, nothing complicated. A lot of outfits would not bother with a job this small.
Set the posts Tuesday, hung the panels Wednesday, done. 5ft in white and the light band up top keeps the walkway from feeling closed in.
- Boyd W. Verified Buyer
Crew showed up at seven both mornings and worked straight through. The foreman walked the line with me before they set a single post. He caught that my property line was off by four inches from where I thought.
Small change I asked for mid job and nobody sighed about it. 6ft white with the frosted top, eleven sections.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Boyd. Glad the line got sorted early.
- Nikhil V. Verified Buyer
Went clay because white shows every bit of dust out here and we are near the freeway. The clay hides it well. Hoses off in a few minutes when it needs it.
Color goes through the material so the scuffs from the mower do not show pale. 6ft with the acrylic top on three sides of the yard. Good call on the color.
Response from PVAF
Thank you Nikhil. Clay is a good pick near the road.
- Talia S. Verified Buyer
Two kids and a trampoline, so I wanted something solid that would not splinter. The old wood fence was a hazard. Vinyl was the answer and the boards have no rough edges anywhere.
Went 6ft in tan. The band at the top lets light into the side yard, which used to be a dark corner. They play back there now.
- Solomon R. Verified Buyer
They tore out sixty feet of leaning wood and hauled every bit of it off. No pile left in the driveway for me to deal with. That was half the reason I hired it out.
New run is 6ft in white with the frosted strip. The yard feels bigger with the horizontal lines. Whole job ran two and a half days start to finish.
- Franklin H. Verified Buyer
Not the cheapest bid we got but the panels are noticeably heavier than what the low quote was offering. You can feel it just picking one up.
Lifetime warranty on the material and five years on the labor made it easier to sign off. Went 7ft in clay along the back property line. Six months in and nothing has shifted.
Response from PVAF
Appreciate that, Franklin. Glad it held up.
- Kurt B. Verified Buyer
One span between two posts was longer than the rest and they put a metal core in that section. You cannot see it, the vinyl covers it. They explained it before rather than after.
Nice to know it is there in a wind. 8ft along the back where we needed the height. The wider light band at that size looks right.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Kurt. That backing goes in wherever the span calls for it.
- Ozzie N. Verified Buyer
Looked at the vertical version with the same acrylic top and went horizontal instead. Same privacy either way, it just came down to the look. The guy did not push me one way or the other.
The sideways boards suit our flat lot better. 6ft in white, twelve sections plus a gate. No regrets on the choice.
- Deanna K. Verified Buyer
Second winter with this fence and it looks the same as the day it went in. No fading on the tan and no cracking anywhere. I check it now and then out of habit.
The acrylic band is still clear, which was my one doubt going in. 6ft across the back of a hillside lot and nothing has shifted. I would put it in again.
- Lucinda M. Verified Buyer
Sprinklers were leaving mineral spots on the old fence and I was scrubbing every spring. This one comes clean with a hose and maybe five minutes. That alone sold me on vinyl.
The color is through the vinyl so nothing scrubs off lighter. Clay, 5ft, around the side patio. A year in and it still looks new.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Lucinda, the hose is the whole maintenance plan.
- Dwight C. Verified Buyer
Had them cut a matching gate for the side yard, same horizontal boards and the same frosted strip across the top. It swings straight and latches clean.
You cannot tell where the panel ends and the gate starts unless you look for the hinges. 6ft, tan. Small job and they still took it. Not every company will.
- Mohammed F. Verified Buyer
Neighbor put in a second story and we lost the back yard. Went 8ft here and it took the sightline back. I looked at lattice tops first and they all leave you exposed.
The acrylic band is wider at that height so the top does not feel like a prison wall. Still cannot see through it. White, and it brightened the side yard.
Response from PVAF
Thank you Mohammed. Glad you got the yard back.
- Jasper L. Verified Buyer
Deposit to install was about three weeks, which they told me up front and then hit. No moving the date twice like the last contractor did.
Panels are made in house so nothing sat waiting on a supplier truck. Went 7ft in clay along the alley side. Two guys, two days, and they hauled the old fence off.
- Annette R. Verified Buyer
One panel showed up with a scuff along the bottom board. I called on a Monday and they had a replacement hung by the following week, no argument about it. That is about all I ask for.
Everything else was right the first time. 6ft in tan across the back, and the frosted band runs even the whole way across.
Response from PVAF
Glad the swap was quick, Annette.
- Winston A. Verified Buyer
Fence itself is good, no issues with the panels or the install work. My only gripe is the schedule slipped by about a week and I had to call to find out. Better communication would have helped.
Once the crew was on site they were quick and neat. 7ft in tan, and the frosted top does what they said it would.
Response from PVAF
Sorry about the delay, Winston. Fair point and we are working on it.
- Kelvin O. Verified Buyer
Front side yard faces the street so I cared how it looked from the curb. The horizontal lines are low and wide and it suits a ranch house. The lit strip at the top keeps it from looking heavy.
Neighbors have asked twice who did it. White, 6ft, post caps on top. Clean look without being a wall of nothing.
- Toby F. Verified Buyer
Hundred and twenty feet across the back of the lot. I priced it out four ways. At that length the price per section mattered and they were reasonable.
Everything went in over three days. 6ft in clay with the light band, and the run is dead straight even where the ground rolls. They laser lined it before setting posts.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Toby, that is a nice long run.
- Sergio B. Verified Buyer
Our back yard drops about two feet across the run. They stepped the panels down the grade instead of leaving a wedge gap at the bottom. Another company told me that could not be done.
Looks intentional now. Clay at 6ft with the frosted top, and the steps line up with the band so it reads straight from the patio.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Sergio. The stepped runs always look sharp.
- Sabrina D. Verified Buyer
We were between this and the lattice top and I am glad we went frosted. The lattice looked nice but you can see straight through the diamonds. Stood in a friends yard who has it and that settled it.
This gives the same light along the top without the sightline. 6ft in white on a corner lot where people walk by.
- Hank D. Verified Buyer
Out in the valley the summer sun cooks everything. Three months in and the white has not yellowed or chalked at all. That was the first thing I checked.
The acrylic band still looks clear, no clouding. I hose it off maybe once a month and that is the whole routine. 6ft along the pool deck. Holding up better than I expected.
- Aurelio C. Verified Buyer
Pool remodel meant the fence had to come up to code before the final. They got us on the schedule inside of three weeks. Everyone else quoted me a month out.
5ft with the frosted top passed the barrier inspection first try. Self closing gate matches the panels. One less thing to worry about with a toddler.
Response from PVAF
Thank you Aurelio. Enjoy the pool.
- Rosa V. Verified Buyer
Two dogs and the old chain link was not cutting it. The solid boards go all the way down with no gap at the bottom, so no digging escape route. Wish I had done it a year ago.
They set it at 6ft in tan. The dogs cannot see the sidewalk anymore, which cut the barking way down. Install was a day and a half total.
Response from PVAF
Appreciate the review, Rosa. Quieter yard is a win.
- Denny S. Verified Buyer
Our HOA only allows tan or white and we went tan. Submitted the spec sheet and got approval back in under two weeks. I expected a fight over the top band.
The acrylic top did not raise any questions since it is still a solid screen. 6ft along both sides. Looks better than the neighbors wood. No complaints here.
- Bruce K. Verified Buyer
We get the Santa Ana winds coming down the canyon pretty hard. First real blow after install and nothing moved, no rattle out of the panels. That was my main worry going in.
The 5 by 5 posts are heavier than what my neighbor has. Went with 6ft in white and it has held fine through two windy weeks now.
- Petra G. Verified Buyer
Split the cost with the neighbor behind us and it made the whole thing easy. They liked that both sides look the same, no ugly back side. That was her main hangup with the wood quote.
6ft in clay, forty feet of it. The frosted band reads the same from her yard as from ours. Both of us came out happy with it.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Petra. Glad both yards came out well.
- Cornelius A. Verified Buyer
Got three quotes and theirs was in the middle, but they were the only ones who build the panels themselves. That mattered when I asked for a 7ft run.
No upcharge fight over the odd height. Crew was polite and the site was clean each night. The frosted band came out even across all fourteen sections.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Cornelius, glad the 7ft worked.
- Antoine L. Verified Buyer
Small details are what sold me. External caps on the 5 by 5 posts, three rails instead of two, and the top rail is hollow so the acrylic sits into it. I went and looked at a panel before ordering.
Nothing looks tacked on. 6ft in tan, ten sections along the back. The crew took the old fence with them too.
- Ellery T. Verified Buyer
Replaced a redwood fence that had gone gray and started leaning. This one does not need stain or paint, which was the whole point for me. The horizontal boards look more modern too.
Went 6ft in clay with the acrylic top. Two years of sun on the old wood versus a rinse with the hose on this. Easy call.
- Marguerite S. Verified Buyer
The tan matched our stucco better than the white would have. I held samples against the house for a week before I decided. Glad I did not rush it.
Six foot run across the back and down one side. The frosted band catches the late sun and it looks like a lit strip from the kitchen window. Very happy with it.
Response from PVAF
Thank you Marguerite. That evening light is the best part.
- Isaiah R. Verified Buyer
Asked for a run that was not a standard height because of a retaining wall. They put it on the cut sheet without a big production. Three other places told me stock sizes only.
Everything else was the stock 7ft in clay. The band lines up across the whole run even where the height changes. Came out clean.
Response from PVAF
Appreciate it, Isaiah. Custom is normal for us.
- Gwen M. Verified Buyer
We got a wet winter and the fence did not care. No swelling, no soft spots at the bottom board like the wood used to get. Posts are set in concrete and nothing has heaved.
Rinsed the splash off after the first storm and it came back looking new. 6ft in white with the acrylic band, across the back and one side.
- Terrence B. Verified Buyer
Needed something around the pool that would pass inspection. The 5ft build with the frosted top cleared it with no notes from the inspector.
Boards are tongue and groove so there is nothing for a kid to get a foot into. The gate they cut matches the panels exactly. Took about two weeks from the deposit.
- Ethan K. Verified Buyer
The tongue and groove fit is tight enough that you cannot see daylight between boards. I checked from both sides after they left. Not one gap in eighteen sections.
That was the whole reason we were replacing the old dog eared fence. 6ft, clay, and the frosted strip on top is a nice touch. Money well spent.
Response from PVAF
Thank you Ethan. Glad it checked out.
- Dmitri K. Verified Buyer
Ordered the 8ft because the house behind us sits up on a rise. At that height the acrylic band is about twice as wide, which I did not expect. It ended up being the best part of the fence.
Solid wall below it, so the extra height is all privacy. Two panels needed a metal core for the span and you cannot tell from outside.
Response from PVAF
Appreciate the review, Dmitri.
- Vernon T. Verified Buyer
Was worried vinyl would sag or bow in the heat out here. I asked about it twice before signing. Through a full summer the boards have stayed flat in their channels.
Nothing warped and the acrylic did not haze over. 7ft in tan on the west facing side, which takes the worst of the afternoon sun. That side is the real test.
- Yolanda E. Verified Buyer
Our HOA had to sign off and the clay color went through with no pushback. I sent them the panel photos and the spec sheet and that was it. Nice to not fight over a fence for once.
Installed at 6ft along both side yards. The horizontal boards make the lot look wider than the old upright fence did. Worth the wait.
- Colette B. Verified Buyer
Guy came out, measured, and had a number to me the same afternoon. No pressure call afterward, which I appreciated. I had two other companies ghost me.
We ended up at 5ft in clay for the front side yard since we did not need full height there. Still fully private and the light band keeps it from looking blank.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Colette, appreciate you having us out.
- Roderick P. Verified Buyer
Went with the 6ft in white along the back property line. The frosted strip at the top is what everyone asks about. Light comes through it but nobody can see into the yard.
Posts went in one day and the panels the next. They swept the whole side yard before they left. Whole thing took less than a week from the deposit.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Roderick, glad the back line worked out.
- Rashid N. Verified Buyer
The frosted top is the reason we picked this one over the plain privacy panel. At dusk the yard lights hit it and the whole top edge glows a little. Worth the small difference in price.
Sounds like a small thing but it changes how the back looks at night. 6ft in white, twenty two sections. Install ran two days.
