Common questions about the Semi-Privacy 3" Picket w/ Mid-Rail

How private is semi-privacy, really?

Standing at the fence you can find sightlines through the narrow gaps; from normal distance the face reads mostly solid. It is the middle ground on purpose — screening plus airflow.

What is the mid-rail for?

It stiffens the panel as part of the three-rail build and gives the face a horizontal break that keeps tall sections from looking slab-like. Structure and styling in one member.

How long is the lead time?

Made to order — typically 4 to 6 weeks before shipping. Build that into the schedule along with transit time.

Is the 100 mph wind rating coastal-worthy?

It is a strong rating that covers many coastal and near-coastal requirements, but your local code has the final say. We install to coastal specs around Wilmington and can help you verify yours.

Can I install it myself or should I hire out?

A patient DIYer can handle the moderate rating — the work is in post layout and setting, not the panels. If you are in the Wilmington, NC area, our crews will do it start to finish.
