Vinyl Horizontal Flat Picket Fence Panel, 6ft height 6ft width, Mesquite

The big reason we picked an open picket instead of a solid panel is that I can see the kids from the kitchen window. The gaps between the courses do not block that view at all.

It still marks where our yard ends, which was the whole point. Five ft turned out to be plenty of presence without walling the two of us off.

A hundred and forty feet across the front and down one side of the property. Price per foot beat the two other bids I had, and the material is heavier than what one of them was quoting.

The crew split it over two days and cleaned up both nights. There was nothing left in the street when they finished up.

Two rinses a year is all it has needed and I am not exaggerating that. The color goes through the material so there is nothing sitting on top of it to chalk or peel off later on.

It also mattered to my husband that the PVC is made here. Not the reason we bought it, but he brings it up to everybody who walks by.

A full year in now and the color has not faded on the west side, which takes direct sun all afternoon long. That was the real test for me and it passed. The wood fence it replaced went gray in about eight months.

Still tight, still level, no sag anywhere along the courses. I would run the same fence on the rental property.

The matching gate is the part I would call out to anybody. It closes square, latches every time, and the color is identical to the panels sitting on either side of it.

We use it a dozen times a day and eight months in there is no drop or drag on the ground. Whoever hung that gate knew what they were doing.

We took a heavy run of storms in February and one section sits right where the water sheets off the driveway. No swelling, no lifting, and no stain line along the bottom course.

That is the exact spot where our old wood fence rotted out first. This one came through the whole week like nothing had happened.

Looks great and the install was fast. Only thing to know is that our small terrier can squeeze right through the gaps between courses, so this is not the panel if you need to contain a little dog.

For the front yard where we just wanted a boundary it is perfect. We keep her in the back anyway, so no real harm done.

Our sprinklers hit the fence line every single morning and I was worried about the mineral spotting we used to get on the old wood. It wipes off with a hose and there is no staining so far.

Mesquite hides road dust better than white would have. That was the right pick for a corner lot on a busy street.

We are close enough to the water that anything metal starts rusting within a couple of years out here. Vinyl was the obvious answer and this style kept the open look I wanted.

The salt spray rinses right off of it with a garden hose. Two years in now and the Arctic Blend has not chalked or dulled anywhere on it.

Sierra Blend was the one that finally worked with our stone veneer, and that was after I ruled out four others. It has enough variation in it to read as real instead of painted on.

Ordered 3 ft along the front planter and 4 ft down the walk. Both of them went in the same morning without any fuss at all.

Maintenance is basically nothing. I hose it down twice a year and the dust off the street comes right back off. No sanding, no stain, no giving up a weekend to repaint the thing.

We went with Weathered Aspen and it has held its tone through a full summer of sun. My old wood fence never looked this even after year one.

Dark Walnut was the whole reason we picked this style over the upright one. It is the deepest wood tone on their chart and against our light brick it looks sharp. The grain does not repeat in an obvious way either.

Been up since the fall and the rain has not spotted it anywhere. One rinse and it is back to looking new.

A deputy at our neighborhood meeting said solid fences out front give people cover to work behind. This one leaves the yard open from the street, which was the whole idea for us.

It still defines the property and stopped people cutting across our grass. White, 4 ft, and we are on the corner of the block where everybody turns.

My neighbor and I split the run along the front property line and each paid our own half. They handled that better than I expected, one contract and two separate payments.

We both went with Tan so the whole thing reads as one single fence. Nobody walking past can tell where his half ends and where mine starts.

Arctic Blend is lighter in person than it looks on a screen, which turned out to be what we wanted against a dark house. Bring home a sample if you can, because the blends shift a lot in direct sunlight.

Install itself went fine. Two men, half a day, no mess left behind anywhere in the yard. They took the pallet with them.

Looked at both the upright flat picket and this one for the better part of a month. Ended up here because our lot is wide and short, and the sideways courses play that up instead of fighting it.

Glad I did not rush that decision. The horizontal line makes our frontage read a good deal longer than it really is.

We get the Santa Ana winds pretty hard up here and I was worried about a fence with that much surface area. It has been through two rounds now and nothing shifted at all.

The gaps between the courses probably help more than I gave them credit for. Posts are set in concrete and feel solid when you push on them.

My son has run his bike into the bottom course at least three times now and there is not a crack anywhere in it. The one scuff he left wiped off with a damp rag.

We put 4 ft along the front walk. It marks the yard without hiding the flower beds, which is exactly what I asked them for. Looks good from inside the house too.

Went back and forth between Clay and Tan for two solid weeks and finally set both samples against the stucco at noon. Clay won and I have not second guessed it since.

The install itself was straightforward. Three weeks from signing the paperwork to a finished fence running across the front of the lot.

Our front slopes maybe two feet end to end and I figured that would look bad with horizontal boards running across it. They stepped the sections down instead and now it reads as deliberate.

The crew took time to string a line before setting a single post. You can see it in how straight the top of the run sits.

Saw this style go up two houses down and walked over to ask the owner who did it. Called the same week and had somebody in my driveway with an estimate three days after that.

Mine is Brazilian Blend where his is Clay, so the street does not look copied. Both of them went in clean and neither yard lost any light.

We tore out the lawn for gravel and native plants and needed a fence that would not fight the new look. The low horizontal line works with it better than an upright picket would have.

We went with Weathered Blend at 3 ft along the sidewalk. It frames the yard and still lets the plants be the thing you notice first.

Crew got here at seven and the whole front was standing before dinner. They hauled the old posts out and swept the driveway before they left, which I honestly did not expect.

Sections come 69 inches wide so the layout worked out with only one cut piece at the corner. Clean line down the whole property edge and not a single wobble in it.

Replaced a sagging chain link that came with the house back in 1998. The difference from the curb is night and day and the front finally feels like it belongs to us.

They pulled the old fence and posts out as part of the job. Mesquite, 4 ft, and the number did not move at all between the estimate and the invoice.

Second summer with it and the heat has not done a thing to it. No warping along the courses, no soft spots on the south facing run. That was my main worry going in with a vinyl fence.

Dark Sequoia still looks the same as the day it went up. Out here in the valley we hit triple digits most of August, so that is saying something.

We had a block wall out front that was only about waist high. Put the 2 ft sections on top of it and now it feels finished instead of half done. The installers matched the run without any odd leftover piece at the end.

Color is Tan and it sits fine against the stucco. Quick job, two guys, done by lunch.

Did the front of a duplex I rent out and picked vinyl specifically so nobody has to paint it between tenants. That was the entire calculation on my end, nothing more to it.

Three years of wood fence upkeep would have cost me more than this did. The tenants like how it looks too, which does not hurt when a unit turns over.

Our run did not divide evenly into full sections and I expected some chopped up filler at the end of it. Instead they built a custom width piece to match and you cannot tell where it is.

That is exactly why I went with a shop that makes their own panels. Clay color, 4 ft, front and one side. No complaints.

Priced wrought iron first and it came in at nearly double, plus I would be chasing rust spots in five years. This gives me the same open look without any of that hanging over it.

From the street most people assume the whole thing is wood. Four ft, Dark Walnut, and I have not touched it since the day it went in.

The textured blends are worth seeing in person before you order anything. Brazilian Blend has actual grain you can feel with your hand, not a printed look. Photos online do not do it justice.

We used the 5 ft along the side yard where it faces the street. Still open, still bright, and it finally looks intentional instead of leftover.

Weathered Blend has more gray in it than the sample chip suggested, which happened to be exactly what I was after. Ask them to hold a full panel up in the sun if you can.

It has been through one rainy season and looks the same as day one. No swelling at the ends of the boards like the old wood did every single winter.

The fence is good and I would buy it again. They did push my install date once with about a day of notice, which threw off my week, and that is the only mark against them.

The crew that finally came out worked fast and did the job right. Four ft in Weathered Aspen and no issues with any of it since.

Went with Coastal Cedar for the front yard and from the sidewalk it reads like real wood. The horizontal courses make the lot look wider than it actually is. Two neighbors have already asked who did it.

Four ft was the right height for us. We still see the street and the yard does not feel closed in. No complaints so far.

One panel showed up with a scratch across a picket and I flagged it during the walkthrough. They had a replacement in within about ten days and nobody argued with me about whose fault it was.

The rest of the run was flawless. Warranty paperwork was in my hand before they even pulled out of the driveway.

Used the 5 ft between our front yard and the neighbors and it gives us some separation without either side losing light. Neither yard ended up feeling smaller for it.

He liked it enough that he had them back out to do his other side. Same crew and the same color, and there were no issues on either job.

Fence itself is well built and the install was clean. My one note is that I assumed 6 ft would give us some cover from the neighbors and it does not. It is still an open picket, just taller.

That is on me for not reading closely enough. They did tell me the tongue-and-groove panel is the one for privacy.

Ordered the fence and a gate in the same color so nothing looks bolted on after the fact. The gate swings level and the latch has not sagged once in six months.

Horizontal pickets were my wife’s idea and she was right. It looks modern without trying too hard. Glad we did not go with the upright version.

Went with the 6 ft and what sold me was that there is no middle rail cutting across the courses. It just stacks more of them as it goes up. The line stays clean the whole way down the run.

Other companies I looked at add a rail at that height and it always reads as an afterthought. This one does not.

Corner lot means two street facing runs and I wanted them to match exactly. They built both plus a gate on the driveway side in Coastal Cedar and the color is consistent across all of it.

The two runs took one long day start to finish, and they worked straight through it. The gate hardware is heavier than I expected at this price point.

Got three quotes for the front yard and this one was not the cheapest of them. It was the only one where somebody actually measured and explained why the run needed an odd section at the corner.

Paid a bit more and got a fence built for the lot instead of forced into it. Worth the difference to me. The other two never even called back.

Went plain White on a 1950s ranch and it fits the house better than any of the woodgrains would have. My wife wanted Tan. Sometimes the simple option is the right one.

The horizontal layout keeps it from looking like every other picket fence on the block. Small change, but a big difference from the curb.

Our city holds you to four ft in the front setback and the guy who came out knew that before I even brought it up. We stayed at 4 ft and passed inspection without a single comment.

Good to deal with people who already know the local rules. Saved me a trip downtown to stand in line and ask somebody myself.

Our old wood picket was rotting at the base and I was tired of painting it every other spring. This one went in over the same line and looks sharper than the wood ever did. The color runs through the vinyl so there is nothing to touch up.

Gaps between the courses let the light through, which is what we wanted out front. Easy call.

I asked what was inside the rails because the last vinyl fence I owned sagged in the middle after about two years. There is metal reinforcement in there and you can hear it when you knock on the rail.

Six ft along the property line in Slate Gray. A year and a half later every course is still dead straight.

The 5 by 5 posts make a real difference. Every other vinyl fence I priced used something skinnier and you could feel the flex when you leaned on it. These do not move at all.

Caps go on clean over the top so there are no open post holes collecting water. Small detail, but it is the kind of thing that decides whether a fence lasts.

We put this in about a year before listing the house and the buyer asked about it during the walkthrough. The warranty transfers, which was one less thing to argue over at closing.

Our agent said the front yard photographed better than anything else we did. Money well spent for what the whole job ran us in the end.

Our HOA is strict about anything in the front setback and they approved this without a fight. I brought them the Slate Gray sample and the spec sheet and that was the end of it.

Install was scheduled about three weeks out, which was fine. The crew called the morning of and showed up when they said they would.

Used the 3 ft sections on top of a retaining wall out front and it added the height we needed without blocking the view down the street. Looks like it was always meant to be there.

The estimate was free and nobody pushed me toward a bigger job than I needed. Straight answers from them the whole way through.

Ordering to install ran about four weeks, most of that waiting on the panels to come out of their own shop. They were upfront about the timeline instead of promising next week and then missing it.

Once the material was in, the actual install took a single morning. Four ft across the front and one gate to the side yard.

Put this across the front of our shop on a busy street. I wanted the lot defined without hiding the building from passing traffic, and the spaced courses do exactly that.

Invoiced and installed on schedule, which on a commercial job is more than I usually get. Six ft in Dark Sequoia along about ninety feet of frontage.
