- Is horizontal privacy as private as a vertical privacy fence?
- Yes — the tongue-and-groove boards interlock with no gaps either way you run them. Orientation is purely about the look; the screening is identical.
- Is a 110 mph wind rating right for coastal properties?
- It is one of the strongest ratings in our vinyl lineup, which makes this panel a serious candidate near the coast. Confirm what your local code requires — we work to coastal specs around Wilmington and can help you read yours.
- How long is the lead time?
- Made to order, typically 4 to 6 weeks before shipping. Add transit and give yourself margin on any hard deadline.
- Anything different about installing horizontal panels?
- The install rates easy, but horizontal board lines expose sloppy layout — an out-of-level post shows in every course. Take extra care with post heights on sloped ground, or have our Wilmington, NC crews handle it.
- Is there a matching gate?
- Yes — the G77 horizontal privacy gate comes in multiple heights, widths, and colors to match this panel, so the fence line continues through the opening.
