Common questions about the Semi-Privacy w/ Mid-Rail

What does the mid-rail actually do?

Two things: it adds a horizontal design line that breaks up the picket field, and it ties the pickets together across the middle of the panel. Mostly you are choosing it for the look.

Is this a privacy fence?

No — it is semi-privacy. It blocks the direct view into the yard while leaving gaps for air and light. If you need a complete visual block, look at our solid privacy panels instead.

What is the wind rating?

90 mph. The open spacing lets wind bleed through the panel rather than loading the posts the way a solid wall does.

How DIY-friendly is it?

Install difficulty is moderate. Panel assembly is straightforward; the labor is in digging and setting posts plumb and evenly spaced.

How long is the lead time?

It is made to order — plan on 4-6 weeks from order confirmation to shipment.
