Study Notes
Top and Bottom Rail
- Top rail is also referred to as a Slot Rail.
- Different sizes of top and bottom rails are used, with 2" x 6" being a common size, but competitors may use 1.5" x 5.5".
- The 2" x 6" size is slightly stronger and more durable against wind and push/pull forces.
Wall Thickness
- Wall thickness is typically measured for post wall thickness.
- The most common thickness is 0.15", but some manufacturers offer 0.20".
- The integrity of the post comes from the galvanized metal post inside, so there is no significant difference between 0.15" and 0.20".
Panel Sizes and Interlocking
- Panel sizes (pickets) vary, but most are tongue and groove interlocking pickets.
- Standard fence sections are typically 8' wide (On Center) and 6' tall.
U Channel and Privacy
- A U channel (2 U channels per side) is included in each section of Vinyl Fence for 100% privacy.
- The U channel covers any cracks or gaps between the section and post, ensuring complete privacy.
- Some competitors may not include a U channel to make their quotes cheaper, but this results in a less private fence.
Post Sizes
- Post sizes are typically 5x5, but other sizes are available, albeit less common.
- The top/bottom slot rail is 2"x6", but other common sizes include 1.5x5.5 and 2x7.
