Installing vinyl fencing on your own
If you want to install a vinyl fencing yourself, make sure that the dimensions of the fence correspond to the area on which they will be installed, since you will not be able to trim the sections of the fence. First, you need to decide on the place where the fence will be located, its length and height.
For self-installation of the fence, it is not necessary to have a lot of experience or special skills. Vinyl fences, as a rule, have detailed installation instructions. Besides, you can turn to Front Gate Vinyl company’s support service.

Vinyl will last a lifetime if you stock up with a level gauge, tape measure, manual or mechanical drill, a screwdriver when installing the fence.
The next important step is the selection of support pillars. They can be metal or brick. The first option is simpler in construction, the second – requires certain skills during installation works, but differs in higher decorativeness.
Vinyl fencing on your own
Don’t install your panels tightly together. Vinyl will expand and change depending on the weather. Too tight installation of the panels will affect the durability of the vinyl fence.
Also, you’d use a level gauge to make sure your panels are straight. Use it for the top line of fences. Make sure that they remain straight after you have poured concrete, as well as during concrete laying. Alignment is very important, so make sure you double-check before cementing.
Leave a gap between the edge of the gate and the hinge post.
Use extreme caution when using concrete to avoid spilling material onto the fence. In case of a spill, clean promptly in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Supports are fixed in a pre-prepared recess with sand and cement. After installing the first corner posts, the location of the subsequent posts is determined with a rope.
