Common questions about the Horizontal Semi-Privacy

Z77 or Z78 — how do I choose between them?

Z77 is solid tongue-and-groove: full privacy, full wind block. Z78 spaces the boards: partial screening with light and airflow. Pick based on whether the fenced space needs breeze or needs a wall.

How long is the lead time?

Made to order, typically 4 to 6 weeks before shipping. Plan around that window plus transit time.

Is it DIY-friendly?

Yes — it carries an easy install rating. Just respect the horizontal lines: keep post heights level and consistent or every course will advertise the error. Our Wilmington, NC crews are available if you want it done professionally.

Does the vinyl need painting or staining?

Never. The color runs through the UV-stabilized material, so maintenance is a hose-down when it gets dirty — no peeling, no repainting.

Can I get a matching gate?

Yes — the G78 horizontal semi-privacy gate is built in this style and quoted to your opening, so the board lines and color continue through the entry.
