- How is a closed picket panel different from a privacy panel?
- A closed picket panel uses individual pickets set tight together, so you keep the picket texture and lines. A tongue-and-groove privacy panel interlocks into one smooth face. Both block sightlines — this one just looks like a picket fence while doing it.
- Is a 100 mph wind rating enough for a coastal yard?
- It is a strong rating and one of the reasons to pick this style near the water. That said, wind requirements are set by your local code and sometimes your HOA, so verify what your jurisdiction calls for. We work to coastal specs around Wilmington all the time and can help you check.
- How long does a made-to-order panel take?
- Typical lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from order, plus shipping. If you have a hard date — a closing, an inspection — build that buffer in.
- Can I install this myself?
- Yes, it carries an easy install rating. The real work is layout and setting posts plumb in concrete; panels hang quickly once posts are in. Our Wilmington, NC crews can do the install if you would rather not.
- What maintenance does vinyl fencing need?
- Essentially none beyond washing. The color runs through the UV-stabilized material, so there is no paint to fail — hose it off when it collects dirt or pollen.
