Common questions about the Riveted Straight Top Picket w/ Dog Ear caps

Why pick a straight top over an arch or scallop?

Simplicity. There is no pattern to keep aligned across sections, it suits both traditional and modern houses, and it stays the easiest profile to extend later if the fence grows.

What do the rivets buy me?

Each picket is mechanically fastened to the rails, so the panel stays tight through heat cycles and wind instead of developing loose, rattling pickets down the road.

What is the lead time?

This panel is made to order — plan on a typical 4 to 6 weeks before shipping, plus transit.

Is 85 mph wind rating enough for my area?

For most inland yards, comfortably. If you are on open or coastal ground, check your local wind requirements — we carry higher-rated styles and can point you to one if your code demands it.

Is there a matching gate?

Yes — the riveted straight top picket gate (style G50) matches this panel in profile, caps, and color, quoted to your opening.
