Ready to work

j Prepare the ground for the fence. It is important to clean the installation area of the flat vinyl fence to simplify the process as much as possible. Clear all shrubs, plants, trees or stationary objects that hinder the planning of the fence.

k Then measure the area. Depending on the size and shape of the yard, or the area to be isolated, you may need to walk straight along the building's red line or measure other configurations and shapes.

l Mark each column position. After purchasing enough columns, fence lengths, and the door kits needed to make the fence, mark the length between the column position and the desired column to ensure that the vinyl fence portion and hardware fit. You can't trim the vinyl fence section, so you have to determine your size.

m Arrange the fence section. Between every place you plan to dig a hole, it's a good idea to set everything up to make the installation process easier. Make sure your column is in the right position before burrowing.

Formal installation

j Dig holes for your fence pile. Holes 10 inches (25.4 cm) in diameter were drilled using an electric auger or a hand-type digger. The depth of the pile hole should be sufficient to support 1/3 of the length of the pile, plus a 6-inch gravel base.

k Place a fence post at a time. Once you have dug a hole in the column, the next step is to securely mount each column before attaching the column to the vinyl part. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions, but it is generally recommended to install columns that are fixed with gravel and concrete.

l Insert a 2" x 4" or 5" x 5" 2 feet (61 cm) long and secure the column to the wood using 1.5 inch (3.8-4 cm) screws on at least two sides. The pole is placed in a hole in the gravel base and the concrete is evenly poured into the hole around the entire pole. Stop at 6 inches (15 cm) below the floor to add soil to the grass during concrete curing.

Use a spirit level to check if the pole is vertical and then move to the next column hole. Continue to install all the pillars and return to the starting position to ensure that they are in the horizontal position again.

m Tilt the concrete. Use a groove to scrape excess concrete from the column and tilt the concrete down the column. This prevents water from collecting around the poles. Let the concrete dry completely.

n Install a vinyl fence section between each column. Normally, the vinyl fence portion will snap into place. Please follow the specific manufacturer's instructions for it section as some may slide to the middle of the column. If necessary, secure the rail to the end of each section with screws and then secure the rail to the pole on the ground.
