Is there a construction detail for this fence? - I'm looking to do a variation of this for my class and this is the cleanest, prettiest example I've seen. »

Are the panels tempered glass or acrylic panels??? How thick are they??? I've used Acrylite panels (from Tap Plastic) for some outdoor small art projects, but not sure if using them for a fence gate (our next project) is a good idea. Acrylic doesn't weather over the years like I assume glass would. Advice?? »

Emily Hurley It looks like glass to me. I wonder how acrylic would far in the sun after a while.

nFORMAL design I know you wrote this a year ago, Emily, but I think that most acrylic has serious UV inhibitors in it now...should work fairly well.

WhAt type of glass panels were used? How thick we're they? - I am looking tomdo alternate panels in glass. I think something like this would make the privacy fencs less solid looking and let in some light as it will be close to the house. »

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Debra Prinzing to Landscapes Make a Privacy Statement

Opaque panels look like glass, but I suspect they are some kind of unbreakable material. By slightly spacing each horizontal panel, the designer created an interesting see-through effect. This detail pairs beautifully with the dark-stained wood posts and more traditional fencing at the left.
