Common questions about the Tongue & Groove Privacy Panel

How is tongue and groove different from other privacy panels?

The boards physically interlock edge to edge instead of sitting side by side, so there are no sightline gaps and the face stays uniform over time. It reads clean from both sides of the fence.

Is this actually easy to install?

It carries our easy rating, yes. Boards and rails go together logically; the work that decides the outcome is setting posts plumb, deep, and evenly spaced.

What does the 100 mph wind rating mean here?

The panel is rated for winds to 100 mph. Because the face is solid, the fence blocks wind rather than passing it — great for patios, but it means post footings matter.

What else do I need?

Matching vinyl posts and post caps, sold separately. Map corners, ends, and gates before ordering so the counts land right.

How long is lead time?

Made to order — typically 4-6 weeks from order confirmation.
