High Wind Installation

All of our vinyl privacy fence panels (up to 6' in height) have been engineered and tested to accommodate

high wind loads. In order to withstand high wind loads, the additional installation steps below must be

followed. Please note, testing completed on a 6' x 8' size panel confirms that all tongue and groove picket

privacy fences 6' and shorter will accommodate high wind loads.

High Wind Installation WITHOUT Fasteners:

Below are the wind loads tested without any fasteners connecting the pickets to the rails:

Panel Privacy: 100mph sustained winds up to 116mph wind gusts

Panel Privacy with Lattice: 70mph sustained winds up to 84mph wind gusts

T&G Privacy Fence: 90mph sustained winds up to 110mph wind gusts

Step 1

Reinforce each post to at least

22" above ground with either

an aluminum insert (prior to

installing the fence) OR fill

each post with concrete (after

installing the fence) as shown

in figure 1. If using concrete,

be sure to tape off the rails to

prevent it from flowing into the

rails. If reinforcing the post with

an aluminum insert, the insert

can be shipped from the factory

already cut to size.

Step 2

Install a #10 x 1" self-tapping

stainless steel screw inside the

post on each side of the top rail

(see figure 2). #10 x 1" screws

may be purchased from us or a

local hardware store.
