Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My husband and I put this fence together as a team. The instructions are clear. It does take time to put everything together, but besides the time factor, it is easy assembly. The important thing to know is that it's not 100% no dig because to do it correctly, you need to dig out a 4 inch square hole where the post go so that your vinyl posts are 4 inches buried in ground. This is shown in the fence diagram in the product image shown here on amazon as well as the instructions it comes with. So what you do is dig out a small 4 inch square hole, then drive your steel post into the ground (centered), then put the vinyl post overtop and into the 4 inch hole. This creates the right height for the post and picket to be near in height and creates stability for post. Here is what we did to make it run smoother: we made a string outline around the yard where fence would go, using bamboo rods and string. This provided clarity and guide to kept fence straight as we go. My husband dug out the 4 inch holes and did the steel post using a post driver (got for $35). While he was doing his post around the perimeter, I was taking the vinyl post and measuring where the bottom bracket would go. I then used the actual bracket as my guide to mark the 4 holes for the screws. Then I predrilled the screw holes using the drill bit they provided in your kit. The predrilled holes made it much easier to efficiently put brackets on once post in place. We did all the post and brackets, then added the horizontal 6 ft pieces, then last step was to put in the pickets and secure ends with screws. This process created a nice flow. It took us from 9am to 7pm to fully complete ours. We bought 14 boxes, plus a gate and end post. We used them all and had to make 2 special cuts. The fence is 3ft in height so it does look like an attractive small picket fence. We installed for our 3 dogs and 2 of which are big dogs and it truly does the job keeping them inside securely, while looking attractive. Hope this review helps.
