- Is shadow box a privacy fence?
- It is semi-private. Face on, the staggered pickets cover the gaps; from an angle you can catch glimpses through. The payoff for that trade is airflow — the fence does not turn the yard into a still-air box.
- Which side should face the neighbor?
- Either. The staggered construction means both faces look finished, which is exactly why people pick shadow box on property lines.
- What is the wind rating?
- 90 mph. The staggered gaps bleed wind through the panel instead of loading the posts like a solid wall.
- How hard is the install?
- Rated moderate. If you can set posts plumb and on consistent centers, the panels themselves will not give you trouble.
- What else do I need to buy?
- Matching vinyl posts and post caps, sold separately. Send us your run lengths and we will help you get the counts right.
- How long is lead time?
- Made to order — typically 4-6 weeks from order confirmation.
