FAQ

Can I cut down my fence panel?
Yes, you can! For our Easy-to-Assemble panel kits, we recommend cutting to desired length, making sure
rails are 3" wider than the finished panel size so that the rails can be inserted into the post routes. For added
security, add rail clips, notches, or screws to the end of the cut rails. NOTE: If cutting one of the vertical
boards is necessary to achieve the desired panel width, draw a line the length of the board and slowly cut
using a fine tooth saw.
Can I paint or stain my vinyl fence?
No, painting or staining your vinyl fence will damage finish and void the warranty.
Can I make a gate from this fence panel?
If you’re installing an Easy-to-Assemble fence kit, you can’t convert a panel to a gate, but we do offer gates
kits in 2 sizes (4' wide and 5' wide) to coordinate with each fence panel style. Each gate kit includes two
Heavy-Duty Contemporary Hinges.
Will the vinyl fence posts support the weight of my fence, or do I need additional supports?
The vinyl fence posts will support the weight of your fence, however if you live in a high wind area, such as
south Florida (check local codes) you will need additional supports (such as an Aluminum Post Insert or a
wood 4x4). When installing a gate, you will always additional support because of the weight of your fence.
Please check local wind codes for verification.
Can I mount my fence to a solid surface?
No, you cannot mount your fence to a solid surface. The posts need to be buried into the ground in order
to provide proper support for the fence panel. Any other installation method would void the warranty.
What is included in my Easy-to-Assemble Privacy Fence Kit?
This kit includes: top and bottom rails; and vertical tongue-and-groove boards. Posts and gates
are sold separately.
