How to reinforce vinyl fence post?

If you are looking for a fence in your racecourse, but still in a confused state, then, the vinyl horse fence must be the perfect choice. As a substitute for wood, the vinyl fence was introduced in the early 1980s and is quickly becoming the material of choice for fences due to its simple assembly, simple installation, durability, and low maintainability. Since the racecourse needs a very strong fence, how do you strengthen your vinyl fence? I will tell you later.

How to correct the problems encountered

No support

No concrete added

No post reinforcement

Use cheap/wrong door hinges

No support

The drooping door that sags the vinyl fence door itself is very easy to repair. Simply cut a heavy vinyl door support and install it with stainless steel self-tapping color-coded screws. Then for vinyl privacy doors with a width of more than 5', you may need to add an auxiliary diagonal support.

No concrete added

It must be said that adding concrete is crucial. After all, concrete is the basis of the doorpost of a vinyl fence support door. But you need to make sure that the concrete you are adding is real100% concrete. After all, some companies simply mix sand, small stones and Portland as concrete. The solution to this problem is to remove the sloping doorpost, clean the hole, make sure it is deep enough, and use about 120 pounds of premixed wet concrete to solve the problem.

No post reinforcement

In the same category with the previous problem. The vinyl gate will have a constant dead weight on your vinyl hinge post, that is why you need to reinforce the hinge side with aluminum i-beam then sleeve your vinyl post over after the concrete is set (give gate posts 24-36 hours for a great set).

What is the right, industry-recognized way to support advanced vinyl doors? Heavy-duty aluminum extrusion, I put a beam with a high-quality vinyl column on top. Is there any other way to save money? Without any support, using a 4x4 column, I even saw a wood 2x4 stud with several stakes to correct the vinyl post. Work for a while and then fail.

Use cheap/wrong door hinges

Fencing companies cut corners will eventually short-circuit your vinyl door hinges. Either they use wooden door hardware instead of heavy-duty stainless steel powder coated black, or they end up using light box store hinges. The vinyl hinge should be stainless steel and strong enough not to be twisted in your hand. Check the brand of the box store with the distortion in your hand, how easy it is to distort the damage caused by the imaginary storm by hand.

The vinyl door needs to be fixed on both sides (front and side are fixed with stainless steel screws). The reason is to fix the hinge to the vinyl gate. The wooden door hardware is manufactured for the front, which means that the screw will work from the vinyl over time and the gate will fall.
