Common questions about the Closed Picket Gate

How much privacy does closed picket actually give?

With the pickets set tight, casual sight lines are blocked — it screens far more than open picket. If you need maximum privacy and wind block, a solid tongue-and-groove privacy style does more; closed picket is the better-looking compromise.

How is this different from a solid privacy gate?

A solid privacy gate reads as one flat surface and blocks wind along with the view. Closed picket keeps individual picket lines and a lighter look while still screening. Pick based on how much wall you want to see.

What is the lead time?

Made to order, typically 4 to 6 weeks. Order it alongside your panels so the whole fence ships as one batch.

What post and hardware does it need?

A 4x4 vinyl gate post with an aluminum insert, plus hinges and a latch matched to the gate's weight and use. Send us the details and we will spec the hardware with the quote.
