- 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.
