Vinyl Arched Picket Fence Panel, 4ft height 6ft width, Clay

Sheffield Collection

Clay carries the deepest, terracotta-leaning tone in Sheffield’s color trio, a warmer read than Tan and a firm contrast against a lighter house exterior. Like Tan, this 4 ft panel gets a metal insert running the full length of its bottom rail, the reinforcement White’s build does without.

Ten pickets rise and dip in the arch that names the style, dog-ear caps tracing that same curve rather than a flat line. Built for a standard property-line boundary, not a shorter garden edge. Send your measurements and PVAF returns a free Clay quote.

Sheffield Vinyl Arched Picket Fence Panel, Clay, 4 ft H x 6 ft W

Clay’s tone runs deeper and warmer than Tan’s, closer to terracotta than to a plain neutral, and it shares Tan’s reinforced build at 4 feet rather than White’s bare one: a metal insert fills the bottom rail’s full 62-inch length on both colors, left out of White’s panel entirely.

The picket tops are where Sheffield earns its name, an arched line rather than a flat one, ten dog-ear-capped pickets rising and falling from post to post in the same shallow curve on every section.

Actual dimensions on this panel run 48 inches tall by 69 inches wide, built to a nominal 6 by 6 label, on posts cut to 72 inches and set 5 by 5 with external caps for soil or concrete contact. Pickets measure 7/8 by 3 inches at 45 inches long, ten per section, riding between top and bottom rails sized 2 by 3.5 inches each.

Sheffield offers just two heights, and 4 feet is the taller: a standard boundary line rather than the softer, shorter framing the 3.5 ft panel gives a garden bed or front walk. Between the two, the frame numbers grow with the height, longer posts, longer pickets, the same rail and picket-width dimensions carried over, so the reinforced-bottom-rail split between colors stays consistent whichever height a buyer lands on.

Clay’s color is set through the vinyl itself rather than applied as a surface coat, so there’s no repaint cycle ahead, just a rinse to keep the tone from dulling with dust. Coverage runs on a transferable limited lifetime warranty for the material, with PVAF’s own workmanship warranty adding 5 more years on the install itself.

A matching Clay gate is available to the same build standard, and PVAF fabricates custom heights and widths for runs this catalog pair doesn’t fit. Get your measurements to PVAF and a free Clay quote comes back with no obligation attached.

  • Josh T. Verified Buyer

    Just wrapped up last week so this is early days. Panels are US made PVC and you can feel the wall thickness compared to what my brother put in. Will update if anything changes.

    Crew set the posts Monday and hung sections Tuesday. Tan at 4 feet with the arch, about 45 feet total. So far it is exactly what was on the drawing.

  • Nash K. Verified Buyer

    The install itself was clean and the fence looks good. Getting on the schedule took longer than I was quoted, closer to five weeks than three. That was the one sore spot.

    They did keep me posted once I called. Four foot clay, 65 feet, and the top line is even the whole way. Would still recommend, just plan ahead. No complaints on the product.

    Response from PVAF

    Sorry about the wait, Nash. Thanks for sticking with us.

  • Percy N. Verified Buyer

    Mowing along the old wood fence chewed up the boards at the bottom. The vinyl rail sits clean and the trimmer just marks it and wipes off. Small thing that adds up over years.

    Sprinkler overspray was the other problem with wood. Now it dries and leaves nothing behind. White at 3.5 feet around the back lawn. Second summer and it looks new.

  • Cyrus N. Verified Buyer

    Looked at the panels at a home store first and the pickets felt thin in hand. These are heavier and the rails do not flex when you push on them. Different product entirely.

    Paying for install was worth it once I watched them auger holes in that soil. I would have quit halfway through. Four foot white, 55 feet, done in one day.

    Response from PVAF

    Appreciate it, Cyrus. That soil is no joke.

  • Tobias R. Verified Buyer

    Only needed 24 feet across the front of a small lot and two companies would not even bid it. These guys came out and treated it like a real job. That alone earned the business.

    Four sections and the posts in concrete, done in half a day. Clay to match the trim on the house. Good work on a job that was probably not worth their while.

  • Imani B. Verified Buyer

    There are two jacarandas right on the line and I assumed we would lose a section around the roots. They shifted the post spacing instead and cut a panel to suit.

    Nothing about it looks forced. Tan at 4 feet, and they were careful around the surface roots. The arch reads the same across the shorter section.

    Response from PVAF

    Thanks Imani. The trees were worth working around.

  • Milton O. Verified Buyer

    Neighbor put in a straight picket last spring and I put in the arched one this year. Side by side ours has more going on without being fussy. He asked where I got it.

    Same height, same white, same everything below the top rail. The curve is the only difference and it is the part people notice from the street.

  • Guy P. Verified Buyer

    Three years on the front run and I still cannot tell the sun side from the shade side. That was the thing I was most skeptical about with white. The old painted fence went chalky in two.

    Rails are still straight and the posts have not shifted. Only work I have done is a hose in spring. Holding up better than the house is.

    Response from PVAF

    Three years and counting, Guy. Thank you.

  • Vera A. Verified Buyer

    I run a small home daycare and needed the play area fenced without making it feel like a pen. The 3.5 foot picket keeps the little ones in and parents can see through it.

    The inspector had no issue with it. Smooth vinyl and no splinters was the other reason I went with it over wood. Two winters and no cracks anywhere.

  • Adrian B. Verified Buyer

    Asked for a quote on a Tuesday and had a number and a drawing by Thursday. No pressure call after, which is why I went back to them a month later. That is rare in this business.

    They measured the run themselves instead of making me do it. Final invoice matched the quote. Four feet, white, with a gate on the side yard.

    Response from PVAF

    Thanks for coming back to us, Adrian.

  • Cesar M. Verified Buyer

    Counted ten pickets on every section and the spacing is identical, which sounds obvious until you look at a fence where it is not. I check things like that. Whoever set these took their time.

    Caps on every picket and on both posts. Nothing left open up top to collect water. Sixty feet in clay and the top line lands even from one end to the other.

  • Joyce T. Verified Buyer

    I did want a wood-look color and this style only comes in the three solids. Ended up at tan, which was the closest thing, and I have made peace with it. Slight letdown on the shopping side.

    Everything else about it I like. Even top line, clean posts, nothing to maintain. Just know the palette is white, tan and clay and that is the whole list.

    Response from PVAF

    Fair point, Joyce. Thanks for the honesty.

  • Lionel F. Verified Buyer

    Bought the house last year and the fence came with it, about two years old at the time. Called the company to ask about the warranty and it carried over to me. Nice surprise on a used fence.

    Did not expect that to be hassle free and it was. They also told me the style and color, arched picket in clay, in case I ever need a section.

    Response from PVAF

    Welcome to the neighborhood, Lionel.

  • Delia F. Verified Buyer

    We are close enough to the water in Long Beach that metal rusts and wood swells. Vinyl was the obvious answer and the picket style keeps the breeze moving through. I did not want a wall.

    Salt has not marked it at all. One rinse in the fall takes off the film that builds up. White at 3.5 feet along the front walk. Easy to live with.

  • Bruno S. Verified Buyer

    My son backed into the end section in October and took out three pickets and a rail. I figured that was a full panel and a post. Wrong on both counts.

    They came out, replaced the pickets by number and swapped the bottom rail. That section looks the same as the rest of the run. Faster and cheaper than I had braced for.

    Response from PVAF

    Glad the fix was quick, Bruno.

  • Anahid S. Verified Buyer

    Our block in Glendale is mostly beige houses and a white fence would have been loud. Tan disappears into the wall behind it, which is what I wanted. I brought home two samples before deciding.

    The arch is the only detail on it and that is enough. Four feet along the driveway with a gate at the end in the same color. Looks intentional without shouting.

  • Andres Q. Verified Buyer

    They worked a Saturday because that was the only day I could be home. Two man crew, showed up at seven, gone by three. Did not expect that to be an option.

    Set the posts and hung the sections with no fuss. Bagged the auger spoil instead of leaving it on the lawn. Tan, 3.5 feet, front and side yard. Would hire again.

    Response from PVAF

    Thanks Andres. Saturdays work when we can.

  • Silas B. Verified Buyer

    Priced aluminum picket first and it came in higher for the same run. Vinyl was also the only one where the color goes through the material instead of sitting on it as a coating. Coating chips and then you are painting.

    That decided it. Went 4 foot in white, 80 feet of it, and nothing has chipped. Aluminum would have wanted touch up by now.

  • Pearl W. Verified Buyer

    Wanted something low around the vegetable beds that would keep the grandkids from cutting through. The 3.5 foot arched picket does it and I can still see them from the kitchen window.

    The white brightens that corner more than I expected. Dirt splashes off with a hose. Two seasons of tomatoes in and it looks the same as day one.

    Response from PVAF

    Thank you Pearl. Enjoy the garden.

  • Marvin E. Verified Buyer

    I own a duplex and the tenants were breaking the old wood fence every other year. Went vinyl so there is nothing to paint between move outs. That was the whole point.

    Clay at 4 feet across both units. Hose it down between turnovers and that is it. Pickets can be swapped one at a time if a tenant bangs one up. Nice not to replace a whole section.

  • Kenji W. Verified Buyer

    Corner lot, and backing out of the driveway used to be a guess with the old block wall. Swapped the return section for the 3.5 foot picket and now I can see down the sidewalk. Should have done it years ago.

    Kept the block on the long side. Tan matched close enough that the two do not fight each other. Safer, and it still reads as one yard.

    Response from PVAF

    Glad the sight line is better, Kenji.

  • Simone V. Verified Buyer

    I noticed there is no middle rail on these and asked whether that was a shortcut. The answer was that at 3.5 and 4 feet the pickets are short enough not to need one. That tracked with what I could see.

    A year in and none of them have flexed or twisted. It looks cleaner without a bar running across the middle anyway. I was overthinking it.

  • Hollis B. Verified Buyer

    We ripped out 70 feet of chain link that came with the house. Anything would have been an upgrade, but the arched top actually gives the yard a front edge. It reads like a choice instead of a leftover.

    White at 4 feet, posts in concrete. The neighbor across the street asked for the company name that same week. Cannot say that about chain link.

    Response from PVAF

    Thanks Hollis. Big step up from chain link.

  • Ramon V. Verified Buyer

    The fence is fine and the install was fine. Nothing went wrong and nothing really stood out, which is probably what you want from a fence. No drama in either direction.

    Clay at 4 feet, about 55 feet of it, done over two days. The price was close to what everyone else quoted. It does the job. I would call them again.

  • Adele M. Verified Buyer

    Put this in before listing the house and our agent said it was the best money we spent. The arched top gives the front some detail that a flat picket line does not. Small thing that photographs well.

    Tan at 3.5 feet with a gate to match. Two showings in, people were asking about the fence specifically. Sold in three weeks.

    Response from PVAF

    Congratulations on the sale, Adele.

  • Clyde R. Verified Buyer

    Two beagles that dig, so I needed something that would not rot where it meets dirt. Vinyl posts set in concrete and nothing down there for them to chew. So far they have given up.

    They still push their noses through the gaps when the mail comes. The fence has not budged. Cheaper than replacing the wood one every six years.

  • Barry K. Verified Buyer

    Went back and forth between 3.5 and 4 feet for a solid week. Ended up at 4 because the yard sits below the sidewalk and the shorter panel would have looked sunk.

    The guy on the phone talked through the difference instead of pushing the taller one. Finished height is 48 inches and it was the right call. Glad I asked.

    Response from PVAF

    Appreciate it, Barry. Good call on the 4 foot.

  • Dominic T. Verified Buyer

    Our run came out to about 47 feet, which is not a clean number of 6 foot sections. They cut the last panel down and you cannot pick out which one it is. That was my main worry.

    The arch still looks right on the short section. I expected a stubby piece at the end and did not get one. Nice work by whoever did the measuring.

  • Levi A. Verified Buyer

    Summer here runs past 105 for weeks and I wanted to know if the rails would bow. The installer walked me through how the panels get cut and set with that in mind.

    Made it through August with the top line still even across every section. Nothing warped and nothing pulled loose at the posts. That was the test for me.

    Response from PVAF

    Glad it held up, Levi.

  • Corinne B. Verified Buyer

    We share the line with a neighbor who did not want anything solid blocking her light. The picket spacing solved that and she split the cost with us. Easier conversation than I expected.

    White at 3.5 feet, about 40 feet of it. Both yards still feel open and the line is clear now. No more guessing where the property ends.

  • Rex C. Verified Buyer

    I asked about using this around the pool and they told me straight that 4 feet will not meet code. Appreciated not being sold something that would fail inspection. Not many outfits talk you out of a sale.

    We used it along the front instead and put a taller panel by the water. Same color on both so the two runs do not clash. Worked out better anyway.

    Response from PVAF

    Thanks Rex. Code first, always.

  • Otis F. Verified Buyer

    Clay was the one color I had not seen in person and I am glad I asked for a sample. It is warmer than tan and sits well against a brick facing. Photos online did not do it justice.

    We ran the 4 foot arched across the front and left the walkway open. The front of the house looks finished now instead of half done. Cost less than I expected for the length.

    Response from PVAF

    Thank you Otis. Clay is worth seeing in hand.

  • Harriet L. Verified Buyer

    Sprinklers were spotting the old fence and nothing would take it off. With the vinyl I hose it twice a year and the mineral marks come right off. That is the whole maintenance routine.

    No paint, no stain, no sanding. That was most of why we went vinyl and it has held true for two seasons. The white still looks white.

  • Sean M. Verified Buyer

    Looked at the scalloped panel first but the dip in the middle made the yard feel lower. The arched one curves the other way and that reads better on a flat lot. Sales guy showed me both on the same run.

    Same pickets and rails underneath either way, so it came down to the top line. Went 3.5 foot in white. I would pick the arch again.

    Response from PVAF

    Thanks Sean. The arch does sit better on flat ground.

  • Kirk D. Verified Buyer

    We get serious wind through the pass out here and the old fence rattled all night. Wind was the whole reason I asked about the posts. These do not rattle, and I think the gaps between pickets have something to do with it.

    The posts are 5 by 5 and set deep in concrete. Came through a rough February stretch with nothing loose or leaning.

  • Wendell H. Verified Buyer

    One section showed up with a scuff on the bottom rail and I flagged it while they were still setting posts. They swapped it out the next week without any argument.

    Would have been better to catch it before it left the shop. Everything else about the job was clean and the tan is the right shade for our house. I would still use them.

    Response from PVAF

    Sorry about the scuff, Wendell. Thanks for the patience.

  • Felix O. Verified Buyer

    Our side yard drops about a foot over the run and I figured an arched top would look off. They stepped the sections down instead of trying to follow the grade.

    Each panel keeps its own curve and the steps read like they were meant to be there. Beats the wood fence next door that just tilts. Glad I asked instead of assuming.

    Response from PVAF

    Appreciate the write up, Felix.

  • Beatriz S. Verified Buyer

    Deposit to install ran a little over two weeks, which beat the four to six weeks another company quoted. They called the day before to confirm like they said they would.

    Two guys and one truck did 60 feet of clay picket in a day. They swept the dirt off the driveway before leaving. No mess left for me. Easy to deal with.

  • Tamsin O. Verified Buyer

    Picked the 4 foot arched panel for the back corner where the kids play. It keeps the ball in the yard without making the space feel boxed in. Sight lines matter in a small yard.

    The gaps between pickets are wide enough to see through, which was the point for us. Not a privacy fence and we never wanted one there.

    Response from PVAF

    Thanks Tamsin, sounds like the right pick.

  • Arman P. Verified Buyer

    We are in Rancho Cucamonga and the west side of the yard cooks all summer. Went with white expecting it to yellow the way the old panels did. That has not happened.

    The color runs through the vinyl instead of sitting on top of it, which I did not know before. Two seasons in it still matches the section that sits in shade.

  • Jerome B. Verified Buyer

    A branch came down in December and cracked one picket near the end of a section. Figured the whole panel was toast. Called and they told me to read the number off it before doing anything.

    Turns out they are numbered from the left because the arch changes each length. The replacement came the right size and slotted right in. Small thing that saved me a headache.

    Response from PVAF

    Thanks Jerome. Glad the number system paid off.

  • Casey L. Verified Buyer

    Added a matching gate in clay with the fence and the color is dead on between the two. I half expected it to come out a shade off. Latch sits at a good height and the kids can work it themselves.

    The gate posts feel heavier than the line posts, which I take as a good sign. Six months in and nothing sags or drags. Latch lines up the same as day one.

  • Meredith C. Verified Buyer

    Our HOA only allows white or tan out front, so having both in the same panel style made approval easy. I sent the board the spec sheet and had a yes inside of a week.

    Install got scheduled around that and they held the date. The 3.5 foot height kept us under the board limit with room to spare. Whole thing was less painful than I expected.

    Response from PVAF

    Glad the paperwork went smooth, Meredith.

  • Emmett S. Verified Buyer

    Old wood picket had been rotting at the base for years and I was tired of painting it. Pulled it out and put the arched vinyl in at 3.5 feet, white. The line looks straighter than the wood ever did.

    Big difference not having to stain anything every other spring. The dog-ear caps look close enough to the old wood that it still suits the house.

  • Blake T. Verified Buyer

    Got three quotes for about 90 feet of picket and these guys landed in the middle. They were not the lowest. What tipped it was that the same crew that builds the panels also shows up to install.

    No surprise charges after the deposit. We went 4 foot in clay and it has held up through a windy fall. Solid value for what we paid.

    Response from PVAF

    Appreciate you going with us, Blake.

  • Roxanne A. Verified Buyer

    Went with tan at 3.5 feet around the side yard so the dog could still see out. She sits and watches the street through the pickets all afternoon. Fence marks the line without walling anything off.

    The tan is closer to our stucco than the white sample was. Rinsed it once with the hose in June and it looked new again. No complaints so far.

  • Roman C. Verified Buyer

    We ran the arched picket in white across the front yard at 4 feet. The lift in the middle of each section is what sold my wife over the straight top. From the curb it breaks up a long flat run nicely.

    Posts went into concrete and the crew wrapped up before lunch on the second day. Two neighbors have already asked who did it for us.

    Response from PVAF

    Thanks Roman, that front run turned out great.
