Vinyl Horizontal Privacy Fence Panel w/Horizontal Picket Top, 5ft height 6ft width, Clay
Riverstone Horizontal CollectionFull reinforcement, metal inserts filling the top, bottom, and middle rails plus two of the three tongue-and-groove boards, makes Clay the toughest build available at Riverstone’s shortest 5-foot height, a 4-foot solid horizontal base under a 1-foot decorative picket top.
Clay’s deep, terracotta-leaning tone runs through the vinyl rather than coating the surface, holding its color without a repaint. Sized for a side yard or a shorter line rather than the taller heights built for overlooked lots. A free PVAF quote follows your measurements.
All materials are sourced and manufactured in the United States.

Riverstone Clay Vinyl Horizontal Privacy Fence Panel, 5 ft H x 6 ft W
Clay is the fully reinforced option in Riverstone’s three-color lineup, metal inserts running through the top rail, bottom rail, and middle rail, plus two of the three tongue-and-groove boards, at every height this style ships, including this 5-foot base size. The panel measures 60 by 72 inches on 5 by 5 posts cut to 84 inches.
That full build sits on the same 4-foot solid base and 1-foot picket top every 5-foot Riverstone color shares: three horizontal T&G boards, 7/8 by 11.3 inches, locked edge to edge across a three-rail frame, with three spaced accent pickets over a 30-inch bottom U-channel.
White ships this style with no metal insert at all, and Tan adds one to the bottom rail only; Clay carries reinforcement into the rails and the boards together, the sturdiest frame at this height. The deep, terracotta-leaning tone runs through the vinyl rather than sitting on top as a coating, holding its color without a repaint.
The picket top remains decorative rather than a privacy element on every Riverstone color, Clay included: its pickets sit spaced apart instead of interlocking, so light passes while the solid T&G base below carries the screening. Ashford’s horizontal panel is fully solid with no top accent, Kingston’s horizontal style flips the pickets vertical, and Riverstone’s vertical-bodied sibling stands its boards upright.
Between the deeper color and the sturdiest frame in the lineup, this 5-foot Clay build is the toughest option at Riverstone’s shortest height, fitted to a side yard rather than the 7 to 8-foot heights meant for overlooked lots.
PVAF stands behind the vinyl with a transferable limited lifetime warranty on top of its own 5-year workmanship warranty on installation. Custom sizing and a matching clay gate are available, and measurements sent to PVAF bring back a free quote.

Customer Reviews
- Uriel B. Verified Buyer
Gate is the part that usually fails first and I wanted it built with the panels, not bought off a shelf. They matched the plank wall and the picket band and hung it on the same posts.
Swings true, latches every time. Eight foot Clay run, one gate, done in three days. No sag after a month of the kids swinging on it.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Uriel. Gates get built like the panels do.
- Graham P. Verified Buyer
Did the back yard last year and called them again for the two side runs this summer. Same Tan, same 6ft, and the new panels match the old ones exactly.
That was the thing I was unsure about. No shade difference at all between the two orders. Crew remembered the yard and skipped the whole measuring visit, so the second job went faster than the first.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Graham. Good to be back out there.
- Elias Z. Verified Buyer
West facing run takes full afternoon sun from May on. Two summers in on the Tan and there is no fading or chalk where the sun hits hardest.
I check it against the shaded north side every so often and cannot tell them apart. Color goes through the material, so there is nothing on the surface to burn off. Six foot around the back and sides.
- Bo W. Verified Buyer
We had the vertical privacy panels at the last house and liked them fine. This one is better looking to my eye because the top band runs the same way as the boards instead of crossing them.
Six foot Clay, ninety feet. Same build quality, same crew standard as before. Second house we have used them on and there is a reason for that.
Response from PVAF
Good to have you back, Bo. Thanks.
- Anita S. Verified Buyer
Asked whether I could still hang lights and they walked me through clips that go over the rail instead of screws into the plank. Did it in December with no marks left.
Seven foot White along the patio side. The flat board face makes a straight line of lights, which I did not expect to care about. Small detail, but it is what sold me on the horizontal.
- Lyle H. Verified Buyer
Bottom of a wood fence takes a beating from the trimmer every other week. The bottom plank here sits in a U-channel and the marks it does pick up wipe right off.
Two years on the 6ft Tan and nothing is chipped or splintered at the base. That was the whole reason I switched. Gardener is happier about it than I am.
Response from PVAF
Thank you Lyle. Tell the gardener we said thanks.
- Willa K. Verified Buyer
Put the tub in the corner of the yard and needed the two sides screened before we could use it. Eight foot in White on the back line, six on the neighbor side.
The height difference does not read as a jump because the picket band carries across both. Went up in two days. Nobody can see in from either direction.
- Jorge V. Verified Buyer
Built a run along the garage for two small dogs and needed something they could not see through, since the barking was the whole problem. The solid plank wall did more than I thought it would.
Six foot Clay, twenty four feet. They quoted the small job the same day I called and had it up the next week. Quiet yard now.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Jorge. Glad the barking settled down.
- Abram S. Verified Buyer
Half a mile from the water, which ate the last two fences we owned. Salt does not do anything to vinyl and there is no hardware on the face to rust.
Six foot Tan, sixty feet plus a gate. Eighteen months and the only maintenance has been hosing the salt film off in spring. Should have done this instead of the second wood fence.
- Clint D. Verified Buyer
Front yard only, so we went 5ft to keep it neighborly. Four feet of solid plank with the one foot picket band above is the right proportion out front.
White, and it sets off the dark trim on the house. Crew was in and gone in a day, including hauling the old pickets. Three months in and nothing has settled or shifted at the posts.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Clint. The 5ft proportion is a good one.
- Margo D. Verified Buyer
I had jasmine growing on the old fence and was worried about losing it. They set the run first and I put the trellis a few inches off the plank face so the vinyl stays clean behind it.
Works fine. Clay, 6ft, and the green looks better against it than it did on gray wood. No fasteners went into the panels, which I asked about first.
- Payam N. Verified Buyer
City wanted a permit for anything over six feet, so the office pulled it and handled the inspection date. I did not have to stand in line downtown once.
Seven foot Tan across the back, six on the returns. Inspector looked at the post depth and left in ten minutes. Whole thing was done in three weeks from the deposit.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Payam. Permits are ours to chase.
- Sonia B. Verified Buyer
We back onto an alley and the old fence got tagged twice a year. Vinyl gives them a flatter surface but it also comes off with a cleaner and a rag instead of a coat of paint.
Six foot White. Two cleanings so far and no ghosting left behind. I would go Tan if I did it again, only because the white shows dust from the alley.
- Malik F. Verified Buyer
Fence is good and it went in when they said. My only gripe is the cut ends on two panels were rougher than the rest and I had to point it out before anyone looked.
They came back and cleaned them up the same week. Still would use them again, just check the ends yourself. Seven foot Clay, about fifty feet along the back.
Response from PVAF
Fair point, Malik. We should have caught those.
- Reid C. Verified Buyer
Salesman came out with a tape and a laptop and had the layout and the number before he left the driveway. No pressure call afterward either.
We took two weeks to decide and the price held. Six foot White, seventy feet, plus a matching gate off the patio. Install landed the week they said it would. Nothing about it dragged.
- Portia B. Verified Buyer
Our neighbor put the horizontal panels in last spring and we walked over to look at them twice before calling. Ended up with the same 6ft Tan so the two yards run together.
Same crew, same lead time we were told. The seam where our run meets theirs lines up better than I expected. Two more houses on the street have called them since.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Portia. Tell the block we said hello.
- Thaddeus B. Verified Buyer
Parked a travel trailer along the side and the HOA wanted it screened. Eight foot in Clay covers it, and the two foot band up top keeps it from looking like a shipping container.
Long panels but the crew handled them fine. Set in concrete, level across forty feet. Board signed off the week after it went up.
- Deshawn P. Verified Buyer
Boys shoot hoops against the fence line whether I like it or not. A year of that on the 6ft White and there is no cracking or spider marks on the planks.
I asked before we bought whether the flat boards would take abuse. They said the rails behind the face carry it. So far they were right. Ball marks wipe off with a wet rag.
Response from PVAF
Thank you Deshawn. Kids are the real test.
- Heather V. Verified Buyer
My desk faces the back window and I used to look at a gray wood fence with a sagging top rail. Now it is a straight White line with the picket band, and it reads a lot calmer.
Sounds like a small thing. It is not, when you look at it eight hours a day. Six foot around the whole back, in and out in two days.
- Gustavo A. Verified Buyer
Second winter with these up. Water sheets off the plank face and the U-channel at the bottom has not held any of it, which was my worry with a flat laid board.
No swelling, no dark streaks like the redwood used to get. Tan, 6ft, and it still looks the same shade all the way down. Rinsed the dust off once in September and that was it.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Gustavo. Glad the winter was uneventful.
- Kai Y. Verified Buyer
Only wanted the side yard hidden so the cans and the water heater are not the first thing you see from the walk. Thirty six feet of 6ft White did it.
Small job, quick turnaround, and the invoice matched the quote to the dollar. That is rarer than it should be. We had them add a gate at the front of the run so I can still roll the cans out.
- Armen S. Verified Buyer
Half our yard is block wall from the builder and the other half was falling down wood. Clay came close enough to the block that the two sides do not fight each other.
Seven foot to match the wall height. They had it measured on a Friday and set the following Thursday. Our place is in Glendale and nobody blinked at the hillside access.
Response from PVAF
Appreciate it, Armen. Glendale hillsides keep us honest.
- Cecilia R. Verified Buyer
We put this in knowing we would sell in a couple of years. Agent told us the fence was one of the first things buyers mentioned, and the warranty transfers, so that went in the listing.
White at 6ft with the picket band. Clean, no rot to disclose, nothing to repaint before showings. Best money we spent getting the place ready.
- Ezra L. Verified Buyer
The 5 by 5 posts and the external caps are heavier than what the last company quoted me. You can feel the difference when you push on a panel.
Six foot Tan, forty two panels around the whole property. Took the crew three days and they were on time every morning. Sixty seven feet on the long side and it is dead straight.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Ezra. Straight lines take the extra day.
- Yesenia C. Verified Buyer
Ninety eight degrees the day they installed and nobody complained or cut corners. They kept the cuts clean and swept the patio before they left.
Six foot White around the pool deck. The boards stay cooler than the old dark wood did, which the dog noticed before I did. We passed the pool barrier inspection with no changes asked for.
- Dorian W. Verified Buyer
Our association only allows three colors and Tan was on the list. Sent the product page over and the board approved it in one meeting, which never happens here.
Panels went in over two days. The horizontal picket top is the detail that made it look like an upgrade instead of a repair. Two neighbors have already asked for the link.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Dorian, glad the board signed off.
- Tessa M. Verified Buyer
Bought this mostly for the road noise on the front side. It is not soundproof and I did not expect it to be, but the solid plank wall cuts it enough that we use the front patio now.
Eight foot in Clay along the road, six on the sides. Both went in the same week. Crew worked around our driveway so we never lost a parking spot.
- Julian O. Verified Buyer
A year in and the White has not gone chalky or picked up any green on the shaded end. I rinse it in spring and that is the whole maintenance program.
Six foot run, about a hundred and ten feet. Still square, still tight at every joint. The redwood it replaced was cupping and splitting by the second summer. No comparison.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Julian. A rinse is all it needs.
- Ross H. Verified Buyer
We had chain link with slats jammed in it for eleven years. Took them a day to pull it and another to set the new posts and panels. They hauled the old fence off the same week, no extra charge for the dump run.
White at 6ft. The picket band across the top is what keeps it from looking like a plain wall. The difference from the kitchen window is not small.
- Otto R. Verified Buyer
Put 7ft Clay across the back where we catch wind off the canyon most afternoons. Asked about reinforcement and they said the taller builds get metal inside the rails where it is needed.
Cannot see it from outside, which was the point. Nothing has flexed in a full season. The vinyl is what shows and the metal stays hidden.
Response from PVAF
Thank you Otto. Canyon wind is no joke.
- Nestor A. Verified Buyer
Only needed thirty feet to close off the side yard. Two other places would not even come out for a job that small. I get it, but it was frustrating.
They came out, measured, and had it in the following week. Six foot Tan, matched what was already there on the neighbor side well enough. Crew of three, done before lunch.
- Wallace A. Verified Buyer
Not the cheapest quote we got and I will say that plainly. But the vinyl goes all the way through so we are never painting a fence again, and that math worked out for us.
Clay at 7ft along the north line. Six months in and it looks the same as the day they left. My father in law has repainted his wood fence twice in that time.
Response from PVAF
Appreciate the honest write up, Wallace.
- Bryce T. Verified Buyer
Looked at the lattice top and the vertical picket top before we settled. The horizontal picket band was the only one that kept the same line as the boards below.
Six foot, White, about eighty feet. Showroom guy did not push us toward the more expensive option, which I noticed. Went in on a Saturday and had the quote Monday.
- Leilani F. Verified Buyer
Two boys under six and a yard that used to open onto the alley. We asked for a matching gate in the same Tan and it carries the same plank wall and picket band.
Latch sits high enough that neither of them can reach it. Tan was the closest match to the garage door and the trim. Install took one long day. No complaints from us.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Leilani, glad the gate blends in.
- Cedric M. Verified Buyer
Neighbor behind us has a second story deck that looked straight into our patio. Went 8ft along that side and 6ft everywhere else, same White, and it reads as one fence.
The two foot picket band at the top gives the tall section something to do besides being a wall. Cost more for the taller run but it solved the actual problem.
- Alonzo P. Verified Buyer
Our back line drops about three feet over sixty. I figured we would end up with a staircase of gaps under the panels. Three other companies told me it would be an extra charge.
They stepped the posts and trimmed the bottom plank on the low end so the run follows the grade. You have to look for it to see it. Clay, 6ft.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Alonzo. Grade work is half the job.
- Daphne K. Verified Buyer
We are inland where it runs over a hundred most of July. Put these in a year and a half ago in White and there is no yellowing on the south facing run.
The boards do get warm to the touch by afternoon. They have not warped or sagged between the posts, which is what I was worried about. The middle rail is probably doing the work there.
- Quincy B. Verified Buyer
One panel had a scuff on the face when they unloaded it. Foreman set it aside and had a replacement out the following Tuesday without me asking twice.
That is the part people should know about. The fence itself is fine, 6ft White, but the way they handled the one problem is why I am writing this. No charge and no argument.
Response from PVAF
Glad the swap was quick, Quincy. Thanks for your patience.
- Hassan F. Verified Buyer
Ordered in October and they set it the first week of December. They told me six weeks up front and hit it, which is more than the last contractor we used managed.
Panels showed up on a flatbed already cut to our run. Nothing sat in the driveway for days. Seven foot in Tan, about ninety feet of it along the property line.
- Isabel W. Verified Buyer
We are on a corner lot so two sides of the fence face the street. The horizontal line makes the yard look longer than the old vertical boards did. We went 5ft so the view down the street stays open.
Clay reads warmer than I expected in the afternoon light. Three people on the block have already asked me for the company name.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Isabel, corner lots always show the line.
- Rowan C. Verified Buyer
Two shepherds who used to push through the slats of the old fence. Nothing to push through here, the planks lock together and there is no give at the bottom.
Went 6ft in White around the whole back. They lost interest in the fence within a week. Crew even set the U-channel deeper where the dirt sloped away. No digging under it since.
- Emeka N. Verified Buyer
Got three bids. One company wanted to sell me a vertical privacy panel and told me horizontal was a custom job. These guys build them in house so the horizontal run with the picket band was a stock option.
Price landed in the middle of the three. Quality is not in the middle. Six foot run in White along the driveway, sixty feet total.
Response from PVAF
Thanks for the bid comparison, Emeka.
- Marlon B. Verified Buyer
Sprinklers hit the bottom two boards every morning and the old wood fence stayed stained all year. On the Tan vinyl a hose knocks the mineral marks right off in about five minutes.
We have had the 6ft panels since spring and I have washed them twice. No paint, no stain, no sanding. That alone was worth the switch for us.
- Sterling M. Verified Buyer
First Santa Ana season since we put in the 8ft panels and nothing moved. Two posts every six feet and three rails behind the face makes a difference. The crown is a full two foot band at that height, which we liked.
Our old wood fence lost a section every fall. This one did not even rattle. Clay was the right call against the stucco.
Response from PVAF
Thank you Sterling. Those winds test everything.
- Genevieve O. Verified Buyer
Our HOA takes about six weeks to approve anything. I sent them the spec sheet with the Tan color and the horizontal picket top and they came back approved on the first pass.
Install was two days for the side and back. The office kept me posted on the schedule without me having to chase them. Fence looks like it belongs on the house.
- Marcelo D. Verified Buyer
Needed something that would pass pool inspection and still give us privacy from the street side. Went 7ft in Clay. Inspector signed off with no notes.
The tongue and groove boards sit flush so there is nothing for a kid to get a foot on. That was the part I cared about most. We had them build a matching gate on the side yard too.
Response from PVAF
Appreciate it, Marcelo. Glad the inspection was easy.
- Adriana S. Verified Buyer
We replaced a leaning wood fence that had been up since the nineties. The horizontal look was the whole reason we called, and the picket band on top is what sold my husband. Ordered White at 6ft.
Took about three weeks from deposit to the install date. Worth the wait for how clean the line reads from the street. The color has not shifted at all so far.
- Kwame A. Verified Buyer
Went with the 6ft horizontal panels in Tan for the back yard. The plank wall is tight and the picket band across the top keeps the whole run reading one direction. Neighbors on both sides asked who did it.
Crew set fourteen panels in a day and a half. No gaps anywhere along the bottom, even where the yard dips. Cleaned up the cuts before they left.
Response from PVAF
Thanks Kwame, glad the run came out level.
