Common questions about the Shadow Box

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.
