          Hi Glenn, unfortunately, this product does not have an option for 6" pickets.

          By|Sep 9, 2025


            no instructions on assembling the pcs of wood with the long boards. do they go at the very top of the uprights or down a little? The only instructions I find are for installation.

            Answer This Question

            Annie, here are the instructions that were listed under the Installation guide on the Product Details section. To install loose pickets to backer rails, use 8d or 10d box nails. Start at one end of the rail and check for level and plumb every three or four pickets. If you wish to build a solid “privacy” fence, butt the pickets without leaving a gap in between. To build a spaced picket fence, cut a board the width of the desired gap and use it as a spacer. Remember to check for plumb every few pickets. Use three backer rails for fences 6' tall and higher and two rails for shorter fences. Note: Attach rails 4" from the top and bottom of pickets to minimize picket movement.

              Why is this 3 1/2 and not just 4 ft ?
              ByMay 12, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Edgar, The panel is listed as 3-1/2 ft. (42 in.) tall instead of 4 ft. because that is its actual finished height — fence panels are often sized in nominal heights that differ from whole foot increments once manufactured. This sizing helps meet common residential fence height requirements and makes the panel easier to install without additional trimming. If you need a full 4-ft. height, you might consider pairing it with a taller panel or adding a topper, and your local Pro Desk can help explore available options.

                  brain, this fence panel does not come with screws. The appropriate hardware needed for installing the panel will need to be purchased separately.

                    Are the panels UV protected
                    ByMar 25, 2025
                    1 Answer | 
                    Answer This Question

                    While the cedar wood used in these panels is naturally resistant to rot and decay, the product information doesn't specify if they are UV protected.

                      Lumber yard next time
                      though the labeling states "cedar" many pieces are not, they are pressure treated so the coloring doesn't even match up. Bevels were bad, thickness of slats doesn't match....the list of things wrong continues on. The quality of these slats was sub par, oh, and thank you for the nice termites that came in the box too. They had already eaten their way through some of the slats in that box. We are extremely disappointed as we purchased panels last year at our local store and out of 5 local stores no one has those panels any longer. this was as close as we could get to what we needed. Also we wanted the 8' sections that were available but upon added to cart weren't. After our delivery arrived they were. Never again.

                      Dear roseisarose, Thank you for letting ProWood know about your frustrating experience with the selection of lumber that your local store has in stock. We do value you as a customer and can assure you that our lumber is normally of excellent quality. Treated wood is typically still wet when it's delivered to our retailers. As wood dries, it may split, cup and warp, which are natural occurrences of wood. We will look further into this matter. If there is anything that we can do, or if you would like to discuss this further, please e-mail our customer service department at CustomerService@ProWoodLumber.com, referencing this review, and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.
                        Some Assembly Required
                        Wasn’t expecting to assemble these bad boys but nothing was missing. Didn’t want to spend a bunch on a new fence so this kit was fine.
                        by
                          The fence is very pretty. However, and this was totally my own fault. I did not read. This is a KIT. Thankfully I’m very handy with powered pools and it only took me an hour to put two fences together.

                          The package came damaged on one of the boxes. Some of the planks were so beat up I couldnt use them. All shipped boxes had planks that were not acceptable.

                            I purchased this cedar fence kit as a backdrop to my driveway garden and to hide my trash cans. The backer 2x4s were very fresh cut and wet so quite heavy. This was an issue in shipping and box was received with some damage. FedEx dropped it at the end of my driveway with no attempt to bring to my house. Screws were included but in a Ziplock bag that shredded and many screws were lost in shipping; IF there was a screw bit included, then it also was lost. Pickets were in good shape, attractive and uniform in length. It went together easily but use a string or a level because eyeballing it won't get it right. I used two coats of Cabot's Timber Oil Stain in honey teak to stain and protect it.

                            The product arrived in a long box. The majority of the pickets are relatively good quality but they are super rough sawn. I had to sand them all with an electric sander to make them presentable. It was a lot of work , if I had a planer I might not have minded so much but it was a pain to do. The wood was slightly damp so I decided to hang the fence and stain it later. .jist sated putting it up and it looks nice
