This 5 ft Surface Mount composite fence joins ten Charcoal boards within a single aluminum rail pair. The wood grain texture runs across the closed face of the nominal 6 ft wide section.
Wood fibers and recycled plastic form the wood plastic composite infill. Private Black galvanized steel posts complete the horizontal composite fence system. Each post has a welded steel base plate; you provide the ground anchors.

Limited warranty periods (residential / commercial use):
- Structural defects in Charcoal boards and covered metal fence parts: up to 25 / 10 years.
- Covered Charcoal board color changes: up to 25 / 10 years.
- Coastal metal coating defects: up to 5 / 3 years.
- Non-coastal metal coating defects: up to 15 / 10 years.
- Covered metal finish fading, all locations: up to 8 / 5 years.
For metal coating coverage, use the nearest shoreline of an ocean, sea or saltwater bay. Salt or brackish tidal estuaries also count. Measure in a straight line from the installed part. A distance of 10 miles or less is coastal; farther away is non-coastal.
Qualifying defects under normal use must meet the written terms, including color and coating claim conditions. Metal coverage applies only to covered parts and eligible factory finishes.
Normal airborne coastal salt and salt spray alone do not exclude qualifying coating claims. The metal warranty excludes direct saltwater immersion or splash damage.
Remaining coverage transfers with property ownership. Products must stay at the original site. Keep records of the products and original purchase date. Transfer or replacement does not restart coverage.
For approved claims, Modern Yard refunds or replaces defective boards or parts. The original net purchase price determines the amount. The amount drops over time under the warranty schedule.
Metal coating compensation is 100% in the term’s first half, 50% in the second. Other claims follow separate schedules.
We do not pay for labor, installation, removal, reinstallation, freight or shipping. This changes if required by law or if Modern Yard expressly agrees in writing.
Email service@mymodernyard.com with purchase records, photos, product details and the issue. Expect a decision or next steps within 7–14 business days. Contact Modern Yard for full warranty terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this panel use the same boards as the 5 ft gap layout?
Both use Charcoal infill, but the layouts need different quantities. This closed panel takes ten boards. The 1-inch-gap design takes eight boards and spacing accessories.
What does 2.5 board packs mean in Component Needs?
Each pack contains four boards, so ten boards represent a 2.5-pack material share. Add the board demand across the project before rounding the order to whole packs.
How tall are the finished Surface Mount posts?
The posts finish at 63 inches beside the 61-inch fence. The 74-inch stock product has a welded base plate, and its ground anchors come from you.
