Privacy Fence

A privacy fence is a solid or nearly solid fence that blocks the view into a yard, a patio or a site. This category has three ways to get there: Fortress Estate composite pickets in a steel frame, white vinyl privacy panels, or privacy slats and the Gardenode Solstice kit for a double wire fence that is already standing.

What is a privacy fence?

A privacy fence closes off the view through the fence line. Where an open fence marks a boundary and keeps people out, a privacy fence also keeps eyes out: from neighbors, from the street or from a public path.

Composite, vinyl or slats: how do they compare?

  • Fortress Estate: a welded ornamental steel frame in gloss black, filled with wood or composite pickets of 3/4" x 6", for privacy without rotting posts.
  • Vinyl privacy panels: white tongue-and-groove pickets that close the panel completely, in a material that never needs painting.
  • Privacy slats: strips or composite slats that add privacy to a double wire fence you already have.

The Fortress Estate privacy fence system

The Estate system combines a steel frame with composite pickets. These parts are listed in this category:

  • Estate Privacy Fence Panel, 75" high, in widths of 74" or 94"
  • Estate Composite Picket, 72", in Palmetto Brown, with picket fasteners in bags of 6 and 1.25" screws in bags of 45
  • Estate Walk Gate 4' (51") and Estate Drive Gate Leaf 6' (71")
  • Estate Steel Bollard: a 6" square steel post with a 3/16" wall, 60" long, in gloss black
  • The Estate Enclosure System

Fortress ships by freight from Garland, Texas.

Vinyl privacy fence panels

The white vinyl privacy panel is 6 ft high and 8 ft wide, with tongue-and-groove pickets. Each panel comes with one 5" x 5" post, 8 ft long, so a straight run needs only one extra post at the far end. The matching vinyl gate, 6 ft x 4 ft, has the same pickets and frame.

Adding privacy to a wire mesh fence

Already have a double wire fence? Privacy slats come in rolls of 164' that weave through the mesh, and clips in packs of 10 lock the ends. The Gardenode Solstice kit fills one 8'2" double wire panel with vertical composite slats and an aluminum top rail. It is made for 4' and 6' double wire fences, in Anthracite Gray or Brown.

A screened fence catches more wind than open mesh, so on an exposed site use longer posts set in concrete.

How tall should a privacy fence be?

Choose a height that blocks the view from where people look in: the street, a path or a neighbor's window. The heights in this category are 75" for the Estate panel, 6 ft for the vinyl panel and 4' or 6' for the Solstice kit on a double wire fence. Many cities and homeowner associations set a maximum fence height, so check the local rules before you order.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What is the most private type of fence here?

The vinyl privacy panel, whose tongue-and-groove pickets close the panel completely. The Fortress Estate panel with composite pickets is also built for privacy.

How tall are the privacy fence panels?

The Fortress Estate panel is 75" high and the vinyl panel 6 ft. The Gardenode Solstice kit fits 4' and 6' double wire fences.

Which privacy fence needs the least maintenance?

White vinyl never needs painting. Fortress Estate uses composite pickets in a steel frame, for a low-maintenance fence without rotting posts.

Can I make my existing wire fence private?

Yes. Weave privacy slats through a double wire fence, or fill each panel with the Gardenode Solstice composite kit.

Do you sell matching gates?

Yes. Fortress Estate has a walk gate and a drive gate leaf, and the vinyl privacy fence has a matching 6 ft x 4 ft gate.

Do I need a permit for a privacy fence?

Rules differ by city and homeowner association, and many set a maximum height. Check the local rules before you order and install.
