What kind of fence you have for your property depends a great deal on your taste. In case you have chosen a vinyl fence to be installed and wondering how to start, don’t worry, we are here for you with our step-by-step guide.

1. Gather the Supplies

The first step to installing the vinyl fence is gathering the supplies like stakes, ropes, level, concrete, and panels. Care should be taken while gathering supplies like vinyl fence panels in tampa fl and other basic things. Having appropriate, and premium products is the key to having the right installation. 

2. Create a Fence Line

After gathering the supplies, the second thing you need to do is mark the fence line. However, you need to do your research before doing it. There are legal attributes that you need to check before starting the installation procedure. In the case of front fence installation, the maximum height you can have is 4ft. while for back fence this height can be 6ft or more. 

3. Dig the Post Holes

After you have marked your fences, you are all set to dig your post holes. You can either take the help of a power auger or do it manually. The appropriate depth to dig a post hole is one-third of the height of your fence. 

4. Set and Level the Post

After all the post holes are dug, now is the time to install the posts. The base of the post holes should be filled with gravel and then posts should be leveled on them. This leveling of post on the gravel allows the proper drainage. 

5. Secure the Post

Just like any other fence, vinyl fencing needs the securing with concrete. After the posts are set the concrete is poured in post holes with a 6-inch margin. This settles the posts and also gives room to add soil or grass to match the posts with the surroundings. 

6. Cut the Fence Panels

In case you are not using the already cut panels, you need to use the tape measure and cut the panels as per your required height. You have to compare the length of your fence panels and then cut them to the same height. 

7. Install the Bottom Rail

Before installing the panes, you need to install the bottom rail that will carry the planes. You will need screws and a screwdriver for this step. In case your posts don’t have holes, you would need a drill to make holes for the screws too. 

8. Install Panels

After the bottom rail is installed, you will install the panels with the help of the level. It will ensure that each panel is plumbed appropriately before you move to your next panel.

9. Install Finishing Component

With panel installation, the major part of your vinyl fence installation is done. Now, you will just install the top rails and caps, a gate, and latches and locks to give it a finished look. 

Following these steps will guarantee you the successful completion of the vinyl fence installation.
