| Bought a vinyl fence, any advice before I begin trying to assemble it? |
| Vinyl fencing can be surprisingly durable if you buy from a reputable fencing company. Most box stores sell cheaper versions where pickets are simply glued on one side. Over time, the adhesive fails, or worse, the fencing simply cracks/breaks. It's worth the extra money to buy higher quality vinyl if that's what you must use. The pickets are adhered through the horizontal anchors on both sides making them much more secure. Before instillation, make sure you've measured and marked your footings appropriately, dug the necessary depth according to your area, applied for necessary permits with your township, called the dog hotline, etc. there's really not much to it. Depending on how many posts you're going to have, it may be worth renting an auger or Dingo to speed up the process and save some blood, sweat, and tears. |

As someone thats done vinyl installation over the years, this is spot on.
