Thanks a lot for taking your time to post this video. I know UA-cam videos are super helpful to many DIY's like myself. Great job explaining the panels, how to install. Good luck in finishing your fence. You have a beautiful backyard.
Thank you for your video iam a single older lady that needs a good easy fence and you just sold me on I can do it lol going to start this weekend 😊 thank you for a easy to do video
Thanks for making this video and sharing with others the process of putting in the vinyl fence! Much appreciated! My wife and I are putting in about 60ft of vinyl fencing this weekend, barring it goes smooooth. Maybe we should just shoot for one panel at a time ;)
@@joshdoesreefing7241 Thank ya Josh! We managed to get 8 panels and posts up this weekend, with just 3 more panels to finish the side. Thanks again for the insights. It really does take some time, elbow grease, and patience to get the holes dug, get brackets fitted, get everything level, and get the surround filled up with concrete. Whew! And you did it Solo!
I am so excited for you to get that fence up that dog needs some training how annoying I’m sorry you have to deal with that yuck! Beautiful yard!!! I hope you get that up fast thanks for the video!!
Great video! When you get to the sloped parts, do you have to cut the panels and rails at an angle, or do they have a little wiggle room to go at that slant?
Hello Josh. Great video! Excellent work btw. I'm planning on installing a vinyl fence myself next year. Figured we could redeem a slam dunk quote withal we were getting a betwixt wave of qotes from 8k to12k. Like yourself we decided to do ourselves. Our yard is approximately 5000 square feet. We're looking at between 2k or more for materials. Once funds free up and spring arrives. I'll be getting to work. Fortunately I've some experience installing a fence. My late father back in the day taught me the exercise in setting in posts. Such a self great project to carry-out that will save you a ton of money. Your video gave me more insight and inspiration! Thankyou.
Thanks for watching and thank you so much for your kind words. Good luck to you on your project! You can definitely save a lot of money doing it yourself. It really isn’t that bad. The only thing I hate is when I run into roots that the auger won’t dig through. Then I have to break out the pick axe. I am way to fat and out of shape to swing that thing. But it is easy to push through to save the money. I wish you the best and let me know if you have any questions.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 I'm right behind you with being out of shape haha. Yes I'm well aware with battle of auger vs roots. The 🪓 will be used to the max if need be. I hope I don't run into this situation. Most likely I will post a videos with my progress. I appreciate your tips and inspiration. I'll definitely take you up on any Q & A's that might arise. Thankyou.
Looks good! How has the fence held up 2 years later? I'm doing my initial research to build one and I've seen multiple people say to use bags(plural) of concrete per post and to make sure they're 2.5+ ft in the ground.
I just purchased the exact same product. I’m concerned about the bottom of the post and recommended hole depth. Every expert I’ve seen say minimum 2 feet. But I don’t believe this emblem post is even 24 inches to bottom of rail. More like 21 inches and this puts rail rt on the ground. I’m going to call freedom and discuss because it doesnt seem rt. I’ve also been told to fill hole to 2 inches below hole top with concrete - then backfill with dirt. Probably 2 or 2 1/2 bags of concrete. I hope it all holds up for you. Thanks for the video.
Dog🐕: I don't care about your video! You said last time if I'm quiet, I could be in the video *cameo* and get in the p🏊🏽♀️l! Now I won't ever be quiet!! Me: 😆😆😆! Beautiful fence! Mine is going up in April after the artificial grass is installed. *definitely for privacy and to hopefully keep unwanted coyotes out!*
The inside is just under 5.5, so wood post will not fill the inside. They designed them this way so you have to buy the aluminum inserts they make. But you only need them on gate post.
When you stop a section , do you cover the two holes in the post until your ready to continue, so In case it rains , it won’t go in or just leave it open
This was very helpful, thank you. Is it 8feet end to end? Where do you measure the 8 feet to and from? And do you find 1 50 pound bag of concrete has been adequate?
I wanted to buy the exact fence that you have but I was told to buy the metal inserts to support it with winds. I only have wind gusts up to 40 mph maybe but I just don’t want to have the fence rocking back and forth during high winds. Did you have a problem when putting it in the ground 3 feet with cement only?
No, the instructions say that you do not add wood internally. The inside dimensions are 5x5, so would not fill it. They sell an aluminum piece that you use internally for only post that you are attaching a gate to.
I purchased the auger at Ag-Pro. They had to order it for me. The top/engine comes without the auger bit/blade. You have to buy it separate. I think both together were around $700. I have been asked to do a video showing it work and plan to do one this weekend. Thanks for watching and for the comments/questions.
You can have the panels delivered. I think it is a flat delivery fee around $60. May be the best way to go if you are getting a lot at one time. I get between 3-6 at a time, so I just pick them up.
It is easy to do. I had to do it in a couple of spots. I forget the measurement of each panel/insert, but you can measure it and trim off the runners by that amount. So if you need to take off 2’ and each panel is 6”, then just cut 4’ off the main two runners and leave out the 4 panels. The only thing I ran into when doing that is you will lose the little ears/tabs on one end of the runner, but it still works. Hope that makes sense. I will try to do a video if I have time.
I know this is old but did you add the expensive metal reinforcements they try to sell with this fence? Also was it easy to do on the slopes without cutting the fence planks? I have a poorly graded backyard and want to try this brand to save money. Fence contractors charge way too much! I don't know why people do not call their dogs in. They just let them out to harass neighbors. I love animals but people with dogs that are not good people irritate me lol! Nice work!
I feel your pain about the dog barking except my rear neighbor has a couple of great danes that put their front paws on top of the fence and snap at me when i trim down by the fence... i asked if he could do something about his dogs trying to bite me and we had an interesting discussion shall we say so now this is the way I'm going to have to go... By The Way did the fence help with the barking or at least muffle it? \
Also I got a quote for $1000 dollars for 5 panels and about 1/4 of panel. Do u think I should just buy the stuff from Lowes and do it myself. I have everything in my cart except the panel kit. It came up to about $652 without the panel kit. What u suggest.
I would say it just depends on you. In my case, I saved a few thousand doing it myself. So it depends if you really want to do the work and save a little or just pay to have it done. It is not that hard to do, but depends on the land/dirt. I have run into spots with roots and really hard dirt. It took a lot of work to dig the holes out. Most of them were not to bad.
No, doesn’t work with these post. They are 5” internally and states that it is not needed. They were designed to be installed without and sell an aluminum sleeve to install in the gate post.
To be honest, I am not sure. They walked it off when I got quotes 3 years ago, but don’t remember what it was. Just doing a panel at a time, I have not really kept up with it. I can count the panels I have up and give you an estimate on what’s complete. Still have a long ways to go.
It is fairly fast. I am going to say I can get a section done in 20 minutes. That is just me. May be shorter or longer times for others and depends on how hard the ground is in the location.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 ohhh okk I only ask because I too have a chain fence but planning on replacing it with vinyl. I guess I'll probably do as yu did.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 I'm not an expert on vinyl fence.. but I thought yu have to seat the pole on a wood and the wood peice go underground into the cement. I didn't know they had different one like yu have.
They do indeed. Mine says on the instructions that no internal support is to be used unless it is the gate post and you use the aluminum inserts for that. They make the post an odd size that no standard wood post will fill the inside.
So the thing is that wood post are either 4x4 or 6x6 and the actual size is less than that. The Freedom post are designed so that neither fit inside. The 6x6 are to big and 4x4 just bounces around in it. Also, it states on instructions that they are not used. Now I am just going by this one brand I installed. I am sure some brands of vinyl fence may require it. The Freedom fence at Lowe’s does not.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 could you do a video showing your gate with some advice for installing it? I'm trying to figure out how to do a double gate with the Freedom gates. What supports the gates where they meet?
I do not currently have a video for the gates and already have mine done. For the any Freedom gates, you buy the aluminum insert sleeve to go inside the post. You buy a gate kit to do a single and two gate kits to do a double. You will also need to buy a panel kit for each gate. They are not to difficult, but require some cutting. The max opening size I believe was 5 ft per gate. So a double could be 10ft. They do not require supports in the middle as they are supported by the post/inserts. You can buy different latches to lock the gates.
Sadly you lost bout 6" or more of your land by going up against an existing fence especially if your neighbor decides to remove the chainlink fencing to give rocky the barking dog more room to roam.
you should have jumped on that and got a loan for 10,000 dollars to have done all of that out there you are showing, you cannot get that much installed today for 25,000 bucks.
Thanks for the comment even though I am not really sure what this means. I am not a professional, just a home owner. The videos I do are not meant to be “how to” videos, just how I do things as a home owner. Nothing I build/do is probably the right way or up to standards! Lol
Thanks for the video! How deep do you dig the holes? I feel like the holes should be 2ft deep but on Lowes website it was the posts are 9ft long which doesnt make sense to me. Also, do you use the slide in metal rail's any where: on the ends where a gate will be, on the corners, etc.. ?? Thanks!
To be honest, I never actually measured the depth of the holes. I just guessed and stuck the post in to gauge, then continued digging as needed. I would say it is about two feet. I only used the metal inserts in the gate post. Didn’t use them anywhere else. I started my backyard fencing project at the end of 2017 and have had no issues. Fence is holding strong and I am still glad I went with it.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 thank you! One more question: I’m going to put in a 5ft gate but Lowe’s doesn’t have the gates available until the end of October, so basically I will be installing the fence and then later adding the gate, I worried about setting the gate posts because I won’t have the gate to measure and be 100% sure it will for sure fit. What would you do in this situation, just wait to set the gate posts until the gate is in hand?
I would measure the 5’ opening and add 1/2” on each side. Then set the post for that measurement. The gate kit requires you use a panel kit. So you will be cutting to fit anyway. I put my gate post up first and the cut/installed the gate.
Bro you did SOOOOOOOO well for someone just doing their own. And by themselves, and with slight slopes here and there! That's awesome man!
Thanks a lot for taking your time to post this video. I know UA-cam videos are super helpful to many DIY's like myself. Great job explaining the panels, how to install. Good luck in finishing your fence. You have a beautiful backyard.

While I like dogs, this one is a pain.
Beautiful back yard, that fence looks good.
Thank you very much for the kind words!
Did you put any cement around the poles to support them and keep them straight?
Yes, I use 1 50lb bag of cement per post. For the gate post I use two bags.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤GREAT VIDEO. I THINK THAT MY DAUGHTER AND I CAN DO THIS OURSELVES AFTER WATCHING YOUR VIDEO.
Thanks for the video. I’m trying to decide between this or getting fencing that matches my deck
Thanks for watching!
I like this fence so far. I do have concerns about the longevity of it. Time will tell.
Great information! Thank you!👍
Great video! When you get to the sloped parts, do you have to cut the panels and rails at an angle, or do they have a little wiggle room to go at that slant?
So they can do a slight slope or grade without modifying. But I have had to cut a couple of them.

Ty great job
Very relaxing video. Not a time sensitive job. But a great dumb-dog/ neighbor fix...
Is it re-enforced with metal inside the bottom rail or is it extra thick vinyl? Great video... That dog though lol......
No sir, no re-enforcing in either. No metal and same thickness vinyl.
I wish it did have something.
Thanks for watching!
Did you not use wood post on the inside or did you leave them hollow? This video has helped me understand these fences so much.
The inside is just under 5.5, so wood post will not fill the inside. They designed them this way so you have to buy the aluminum inserts they make. But you only need them on gate post.
The fence does follow the contour of the ground without any extra cutting or customizing too the fence?
You should have just built a fence around the dog 🤣
When you stop a section , do you cover the two holes in the post until your ready to continue, so In case it rains , it won’t go in or just leave it open
I just leave it open and haven’t seen any issues. But not saying I am doing it right either! Lol
Do you put concrete inside the 5x5 post or just around. And if not inside post do you put anything. Dirt/ gravle.??
I like your video
Thanks Shane!
I plan on starting my own project.... im gonna buy maybe 2 panels a month
Lowe’s trying to charge me more then 10 grand and my fencing isn’t even as long and big as this young man
I'm looking to install this same fence. How did you install with some of your elevation higher and lower? Did you have to cut the pieces?
I wish you would show us how to use the auger. Thanks!
No problem. I will try to do a video on it in the next couple of weeks.
Just confirming you need a 50 lb bag of cement per post? I have a 4 ft fence and I bought the metal inserts for each post.
I cant imagine why you wouldn't want to listen to that dog bark incessantly
Did you cut the top on an angle where the yard slopes?
How high are those fences they look over 6-7ft high and you dug the whole only 12 inches deep correct?
10/13/2023. 7pm central time.
In my lay out there is a corner at a gate. Q: Can the latching side of a gate work on a corner post?
This was very helpful, thank you. Is it 8feet end to end? Where do you measure the 8 feet to and from? And do you find 1 50 pound bag of concrete has been adequate?
Yes to both.
Fence has been standing for years now in some really heavy wind. In my opinion, that is all the concrete you need.
That’s great to hear. Thank you again!
Thank you!
I wanted to buy the exact fence that you have but I was told to buy the metal inserts to support it with winds. I only have wind gusts up to 40 mph maybe but I just don’t want to have the fence rocking back and forth during high winds. Did you have a problem when putting it in the ground 3 feet with cement only?
No issues here.
We have had tornado winds come through and still standing with no inserts.
Thanks for the bid. Do you have 4x4s in each hole?
I think the sleeves are designed to cover lumber. Can’t tell what you did thrre.
No, the instructions say that you do not add wood internally. The inside dimensions are 5x5, so would not fill it. They sell an aluminum piece that you use internally for only post that you are attaching a gate to.
I know they do make actual sleeves to cover lumber, but these aren’t those.
1. How much did the auger cost?
2. Does Lowes deliver the panels, posts etc to your home? Delivery cost?
Great work!
I purchased the auger at Ag-Pro. They had to order it for me. The top/engine comes without the auger bit/blade. You have to buy it separate. I think both together were around $700. I have been asked to do a video showing it work and plan to do one this weekend.

You can have the panels delivered. I think it is a flat delivery fee around $60. May be the best way to go if you are getting a lot at one time. I get between 3-6 at a time, so I just pick them up.
That dog is so annoying.
Good job there with the fence
why did you deside not to do the Aluminum post Insert? looking to do one of their kits and i thought they were requred?
Fast forward July 2022. I just got a quote to install 13 panels 14 posts 8k. Inflations real.
Great fence thanks for the tips. Why not using sika post mix?.
No reason really. I have just never tried it.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 the unboxing really help me decide instead of carrying wood one by one in my suv.
How do you trim a panel if it’s too long? Like towards the end of a run and it ends up being too long?
It is easy to do. I had to do it in a couple of spots. I forget the measurement of each panel/insert, but you can measure it and trim off the runners by that amount. So if you need to take off 2’ and each panel is 6”, then just cut 4’ off the main two runners and leave out the 4 panels.

Is the top rail and bottom rail same or does bottom have metal piece to keep from bulging out from heat etc?
They are the same.
I know this is old but did you add the expensive metal reinforcements they try to sell with this fence? Also was it easy to do on the slopes without cutting the fence planks? I have a poorly graded backyard and want to try this brand to save money. Fence contractors charge way too much! I don't know why people do not call their dogs in.

Do you cement the post in ground, if so or if not how far in ground?
Yes, I put a 50lb bag of concrete per post.
Blessings and thank you much for the information, question u do not have to put gravel in first in the hole and then the concrete
I would say no. It is needed for wood post for water drainage. I wouldn’t think it is necessary for vinyl.
Also I got a quote for $1000 dollars for 5 panels and about 1/4 of panel. Do u think I should just buy the stuff from Lowes and do it myself. I have everything in my cart except the panel kit. It came up to about $652 without the panel kit. What u suggest.
I would say it just depends on you. In my case, I saved a few thousand doing it myself. So it depends if you really want to do the work and save a little or just pay to have it done. It is not that hard to do, but depends on the land/dirt. I have run into spots with roots and really hard dirt. It took a lot of work to dig the holes out. Most of them were not to bad.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 blessings and OK thank you much and I appreciate it much. God bless
The dog barking in the background forced me to close the video. Sorry 🤷♂️
Did you use any 4x4 wood inside the post ?
No, doesn’t work with these post. They are 5” internally and states that it is not needed. They were designed to be installed without and sell an aluminum sleeve to install in the gate post.
I’m getting this fence since I have the same annoying dog problem.
Lol
Im so glad im not the only one thats putting up a fence because of barking ass dogs thanks for the video
Excuse me ! How long is your vinyl fence? Lineal feet?
To be honest, I am not sure. They walked it off when I got quotes 3 years ago, but don’t remember what it was. Just doing a panel at a time, I have not really kept up with it. I can count the panels I have up and give you an estimate on what’s complete. Still have a long ways to go.
How did you slide the last panel in the post?
Tip forward. You can move them around before you put concrete in.
GOOD JOB!!!!!! DID YOU USE GRAVEL IN
THE HOLES
Thanks!
I generally use gravel only with wood post. I use concrete with these.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 so you just put the vinyl in the concrete?
Yes, vinyl is in the concrete and then dirt on top of that.
How long does 1 section take to comeplete?
It is fairly fast. I am going to say I can get a section done in 20 minutes. That is just me. May be shorter or longer times for others and depends on how hard the ground is in the location.
Did you screwed the top panel before you install the cap?
I am not exactly sure what you mean.
You didn’t use any screws at all? I seen other videos where they do.
I haven’t found that they were needed as they have tabs that hold the panels in the post. Once the concrete sets, it’s not moving or pulling apart.
You would need to use screws if you have to cut the runners shorter as you would be cutting the tabs off of one side.
149 bucks a panel at lowes today.
How did you add the last one in the rail
I am afraid I do not understand the question......
The last post is done the same as the rest. You either buy a line post to continue or an end post.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 ok thanks
Hope that answered your question. Let me know if you need more specific info. Will answer the best I can.

My question is.. would you remove the chain fence in the end?
You could if you wanted. It will be behind my fence and I will not know it is there.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 ohhh okk I only ask because I too have a chain fence but planning on replacing it with vinyl. I guess I'll probably do as yu did.
I am leaving it mainly so the neighbors dog doesn’t jump against the new vinyl fence all the time.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 I'm not an expert on vinyl fence.. but I thought yu have to seat the pole on a wood and the wood peice go underground into the cement. I didn't know they had different one like yu have.
They do indeed. Mine says on the instructions that no internal support is to be used unless it is the gate post and you use the aluminum inserts for that. They make the post an odd size that no standard wood post will fill the inside.

Check with your city or county.
you should have jumped on that and got a loan for 10,000 dollars to have done all of that out there you are showing, you cannot get that much installed today for 25,000 bucks.
Luckily at the time of the video, I got it all done well under that cost.

To be honest, I never actually measured the depth of the holes. I just guessed and stuck the post in to gauge, then continued digging as needed. I would say it is about two feet.
I only used the metal inserts in the gate post. Didn’t use them anywhere else.
I started my backyard fencing project at the end of 2017 and have had no issues. Fence is holding strong and I am still glad I went with it.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 thank you! One more question: I’m going to put in a 5ft gate but Lowe’s doesn’t have the gates available until the end of October, so basically I will be installing the fence and then later adding the gate, I worried about setting the gate posts because I won’t have the gate to measure and be 100% sure it will for sure fit. What would you do in this situation, just wait to set the gate posts until the gate is in hand?
I would measure the 5’ opening and add 1/2” on each side. Then set the post for that measurement. The gate kit requires you use a panel kit. So you will be cutting to fit anyway. I put my gate post up first and the cut/installed the gate.
@@joshdoesreefing7241 awesome info. Thanks again!
