Vinyl Vertical Privacy Fence Panel w/Acrylic Top, 8ft height 8ft width, Clay

The wait was longer than I wanted, closer to five weeks, because every panel is built to order. They were honest about that from the first phone call.

Once it arrived the install took a day and a half. The 8ft panels along the back are exactly what I was hoping for. Six feet of wall and a two foot band of light.

Two summers on now and I was skeptical about vinyl going in. No fading on the white, no sag in any panel, and the frosted band still looks the way it did on day one.

I hosed it off in the spring and that has been the entire maintenance so far. I do not think about the fence anymore, which was the goal.

The pool went in last spring and we needed the yard closed off properly before anyone used it. Went 5ft on the pool side and 6ft everywhere else, all white.

It passed inspection with no corrections. My daughter cannot see the water from the side yard, which was half the reason. Solid right down to the ground.

We did the rental property first to see how it would hold up, then did our own house a year later. That should tell you most of what you need to know.

Both are 6ft in tan with the frosted top. Same crew both times. The rental run still looks the same as the day it went in and the tenants have never called me about it.

We looked at a lattice top first because it is what the neighbor has. You can see straight through a lattice from the right angle, which was not what we wanted.

The frosted panel does not do that. Same light coming in, none of the peeking. Easy call once we had seen both of them side by side. 6ft in clay.

Crew of three, in at eight and done by four on the second day. They hauled off every scrap of the old fence and swept the driveway before they left.

They ran into a sprinkler line and capped it themselves instead of leaving it for me to sort out. That saved me a weekend. 6ft in white with the frosted top, 74 feet.

The south facing run gets sun on it all day long. I put a hand on the boards in August and they were warm, but nothing had bowed or pulled loose.

That was the real test as far as I am concerned. The clay has not lightened either, top rail down to the base. The frosted band looks the same as the day it went in.

The warranty transfers with the house, which mattered to us because we may sell in a few years. Not every fence company will put that in writing for you.

The fence looks good in the meantime. 7ft in tan the length of the back property line with a matching gate. Two months in and the color is holding fine.

Two boys and a soccer ball. The boards take it and there is nothing to splinter, which was my main worry with the wood fence we had before.

Handprints wipe off the frosted part with a wet rag. We went 6ft in white around the whole back yard and it still looks clean six months later. No dents anywhere.

We are on a corner lot so half the fence faces the street. The HOA wanted something that would not read as a blank white wall from the sidewalk.

The band along the top solved that for us. Approved without a second submission, which never happens here. 6ft in tan, about 90 feet. The crew kept the sidewalk clear the whole time.

The frosted strip is the part I did not expect to like as much as I do. I picked it mostly to break up the wall. In the evening it glows a little as the sun drops behind it.

Privacy is still complete, which was the actual requirement. My mother in law walked the whole yard looking for a spot to see through and gave up on it.

Our sprinklers hit the bottom of the fence every single morning. The wood we had before this was rotting from the base up and I was replacing boards yearly.

Nothing here to rot. There is some hard water spotting on the lower boards and it comes off with a rag. Six months in and that is my only note. 6ft in tan.

The neighbor on the north side asked me for the company name about a week after ours went up. He put in the same panels in white a month later.

Two runs of it back to back now. Ours is tan and his is white, and the frosted band looks identical on both. The two colors next to each other actually look good.

I looked hard at the 5×5 posts before signing anything. They are heavier than the 4×4 the other bid was using and you can see the difference in how the run stands.

Three rails on every panel, top, middle and bottom. Nothing flexes when you lean on it. I went 7ft in white and the band sits right at eye level from the deck.

Asked whether they could give me a deeper frosted band on a 7ft panel. They said yes without hesitating, since the panels come out of their own shop.

I ended up keeping the standard split after seeing a sample in person. A foot of band over six feet of solid wall is about right. Good to know it was on the table though.

The reason to buy this particular panel is the band along the top. Our side yard used to feel like a hallway with a six foot wall down both sides of it.

Now there is a foot of light up there and the same privacy underneath. You cannot make anything out through the frosted part, and yes I checked from the neighbor side.

One panel had a scuff across the face when it came off the truck. I pointed it out and they swapped it the following week with no argument about it.

That is really why I am bothering to write this. Anyone can sell you a fence. The swap is where you find out who you actually hired. 6ft in clay across the back.

Built to order, so there was a wait of about four weeks from the deposit. They told me that up front instead of promising next week and then going quiet on me.

The truck showed up on the exact day they gave me. The whole 7ft run was standing before dark. Tan panels, one gate, and no surprises on the final bill.

A year in now and I keep looking for the usual problems. No yellowing on the white, no sag in the middle of any panel, and no movement at the posts.

One full summer of sun and a round of Santa Anas behind us. The rails are still tight where they seat into the posts. I will check again after next August.

Only had 24 feet to replace between the house and the garage. Two other companies would not even come out to look at a job that small. One of them never called back at all.

These guys did, and they did it properly. 7ft in clay with the frosted top so it lines up with what the neighbor already had up on his side.

Ours runs along the driveway so half of it faces the street. In the evening the frosted strip catches the last of the light and it looks far more finished than a flat cap would.

Two neighbors have already asked who did the work. Clay was the right pick against our brick. We only did the front side this year and the back is next.

Our back yard drops about three feet across the run. I assumed we would end up with an ugly stair step mess along the top of the fence.

They stepped the panels evenly and kept the grade filled so nothing gets under the base rail. It came out cleaner than I pictured it. Nobody notices the steps unless I point them out. 6ft in white.

Ordered a matching gate with the run and it was worth doing at the same time. Same tan, same frosted band across the top, so the whole thing reads as one line.

Latch is solid and the gate has not sagged at all in the heat. Swing is smooth. Hinges were adjusted once at the end of install and I have not touched them since.

Not the cheapest number I got, but the panels are heavier than what the low bid was showing me. You can feel the difference just lifting one off the stack.

Five years on the workmanship and the lifetime on the material sealed it for me. The panels come 8ft wide so there are fewer posts to worry about later. I would rather pay once.

Got three quotes on the job. One place kept pushing a lattice top instead and could not tell me why it would be more private than what I actually asked for.

This one made more sense to me. The acrylic is solid so nothing shows through it, and the price landed between the other two. Went 7ft in clay, 110 feet of it. Install ran two days.

Had cedar for eleven years and spent every other spring working on it. Rot at the base, warped boards, the usual story. Replaced the whole thing with the 6ft white.

Difference is night and day. Boards sit tight against each other and nothing has shifted since the crew left in April. White was my wife’s pick and she was right.

Upkeep is a hose and about ten minutes. Dust builds up on the boards out here and it rinses right off, same with the frosted panel across the top.

I did it twice last year and that was plenty. No paint, no stain, no sanding, which is the exact opposite of the fence this replaced. Took longer to coil the hose than to wash it.

A guy came out, measured, and sent a written number two days later with the height and the color spelled out on it. No pressure calls afterward either.

I signed about a month after that and the price was exactly the same as the quote. 6ft in white, 68 feet of it, plus a gate on the side. That is how it should work.

Our HOA is picky about anything over six feet and even pickier about color. Submitted the tan with the acrylic top and it cleared on the first pass.

The company sent me a spec sheet to attach to the application, which saved me a round trip. Install was about three weeks after the approval came back. No notes from the board on the frosted band.

Needed something that would clear the pool inspection and this did it. The code out here is strict about gaps and about anything climbable on the yard side.

Inspector looked at the frosted top, asked what it was, then signed off. 5ft on the pool side and 6ft along the back line. No gap at the bottom either. Whole job took a day and a half.

Two dogs that used to bark at anything walking past the house. With the vertical boards drawn tight there is nothing to see through, so the barking mostly stopped on its own.

Kids cannot get a foot in anywhere either. It is solid all the way down to the base rail. We did 6ft in tan around the back and a short run on the side.

Neighbor built a second story and we basically lost the back yard. We were eating dinner with somebody looking down at the table. Went 8ft with these and got the yard back.

At that height you get six feet of solid wall and a two foot frosted band above it. No sightline through any of it, which was the entire point.

Santa Ana winds come through the pass hard and the old wood fence lost boards every single year. These 6ft panels have not moved an inch since the install.

I asked about reinforcement and they put metal in the rails on our run. Worth asking about if you live somewhere windy. One windy season in and the line is still dead straight.

Only needed 5ft along the side yard for the dog run. Nothing fancy, but I did not want a plain flat cap back there. That gives you four feet of solid boards and a foot of frosted panel above.

At that height it does not close the walkway in. The crew knocked it out in one morning and hauled the old posts away.

We get full afternoon sun on the west run and I was worried about how the vinyl would take it. Nothing has warped and the clay has not gone chalky on me.

The acrylic strip does not seem bothered by the heat either. Still the same frosted look it had the day it went up. Ordered 6ft for the whole perimeter.

The clay reads warmer than I expected, which worked out for us. Our stucco is a sand color and white would have been too sharp next to it. I held a sample up to the wall before ordering.

Frosted band on top looks the same on clay as it did on the white sample. Two months in with no marks from the sprinklers.

Tan was the middle choice and it turned out right for us. White showed every bit of dust at the old house and the clay was too dark next to our trim.

The color goes through the vinyl so there is nothing to touch up later. I rinsed it in October and it looked new again. Two seasons in and no chalking anywhere on it.

Panels are well built and the install went fine. One thing to know going in is that the acrylic is a solid sheet, so no air passes through it at all.

I had assumed a little breeze would come over the top. It does not. Still happy with the privacy and the look, just set your expectations before you order. That is my only note.

Scheduling was easy. They gave me a window, called the day before, and showed up when they said they would. 92 feet of 7ft panels in tan went in over two days.

One post needed a second dig because of a tree root. They handled it without a lot of drama and the top line still came out straight across.

Went 8ft along the alley side of the property. That gets you six feet of solid wall and then a two foot frosted band, which is a lot more band than the shorter panels carry.

Nobody sees in and the yard still does not feel walled in. Best thing we spent money on this year. White, to keep it bright back there.

Went with the 6ft vertical privacy panels in white with the frosted top. Crew set the posts one morning and hung the whole run the next day. No gaps anywhere in the tongue-and-groove boards.

The acrylic band is the reason I picked this over a plain flat cap. Back yard stays private and that corner is not a dark tunnel anymore.
