- Is this a privacy fence?
- No. Picket fence is a decorative boundary — it contains kids and pets and defines the yard while keeping views and airflow open. For screening, look at the privacy styles in our vinyl fence line instead.
- How long is the lead time?
- Typical lead time is 4 to 6 weeks because every panel is made to order. Get your full order in at once — panels, posts, caps, and gate — so it all ships together.
- What posts and parts do I need for a full run?
- You need 4x4 vinyl posts between panels, post caps on top, and a gate wherever you want through-access. Corner, end, and gate positions each take a different post routing, so count them off your layout or send it to us.
- Is there a matching gate?
- Yes — the Classic Alternating Picket gate uses the same pattern and sharp caps. Order it with the panels so the color and pattern come from the same run.
- How does vinyl picket hold up compared to wood?
- The color runs through UV-stabilized vinyl, so there is no paint to peel and nothing to rot. Wood pickets look great the day they are painted and then start asking for maintenance; vinyl just needs a rinse.
