Grand Empire Panel Fence Review 38 Panels and around 46 stakes and 2 gates cost around $1300 Pretty simple to install and you can move anytime and add to the fence.
Great video. Thank you for clarifying the installation process and showing us the outcome. I have a question for you. Do you know if this would work on a slope, this kind of fence?
This fence is not made for the hard Piedmont soil of the Carolinas. You have one shot with the stake (can't adjust at all after they are in deep enough to test) I tried everyway and I'm always off just slightly.
I installed this last August, and am very pleased with the look and durability of the fence. However, the gates are a different story. I have 3 gates; 2 on each side of the house and one in the rear of the back yard. My problem is none of the pairs of gate panels are even, despite my exhaustive attempts to adjust them. Needless to say, unless the left and right sides of the gate are perfectly aligned, horizontally and vertically, the latch mechanism isn't going to work properly. Two of the gates are so bad I don't even use them, and the other one I have to pull the left side up so it aligns with the right and close the latch while keeping it aligned, and it still doesn't look very good. In short, did you have the same challenges, or am I missing a key aspect of gate installation? At this point, I'm exploring alternative latches, as the existing latch seems very poorly designed, even if installed properly. Any tips are greatly appreciated!
Ya I actually got finished about a hour or so ago. Did 34 feet of fence. Only easy one was the first one. Every single one after was hard because my ground isn’t soft. If you got good topsoil it would go in much easier. But for me it was a lot of hammering. I went to get a rubber mallet and did the best I could. Turned out pretty nice. Just going to lay some mulch to match the other mulch around my garden and pool and put it on the fence post where they go into the ground. Make it look a lot better. Thank you for your help!!
My son is 8 and pretty strong (he's autistic) and we want to put up temporary fencing in backyard of rental home. Do you think this will hold up? We were thinking the XL fencing.
We just put ours up and it went real smooth. I like it a lot. The only thing I don’t like is the gate. I don’t like the latch.
im putting mine up 2day, man u got yours all planned out 👏
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing. Very helpful.
Thank you for this video! 😎

You mentioned that pond twice, seems like you miss it! Nice fence.
how tough is it to install on a slope? looks like there is a bit of grade near the house.

I also have two gates & they will not align properly, I have two dogs to contain so that's a bummer
Same. Gates look like crap.
Looks great!!
How do you locked the stakes/posts with the arrow? I believe after you driven the arrow into the ground, the ground covers the screw hole.
Great doggo
The panels come in fixed widths. Anyway to adjust the width to accommodate the required length of the fence?
The fence has been a blessing.
Good grief. I have hammered for 15 mins and mine still aren't all the way in. And it went in CROOKED!! And I can't get it out. Grrrrrrrrrrjhhhh
Since I have moved my fence around several times since I have done this video, I learned you don't need those ground stakes.
I can do a quick update video.
@@videocam22 how did you remove the stakes that are in ground? I goofed and have to move some just a inch or two. Thank you
@@jennifersimpson2986 I used a pair of plyers and moved it back and forth and then pulled them out.
How's is holding up 2 years later?
So this installs well on slopes? Assuming it "free Floats" on the posts?
You can adjust the ground anchor up or down to adjust for higher or lower.
Just bought this today. Any tips on easy installation? Looks great by the way
Thanks
Once you put your first couple sections down you get the hang of it. The ground was much softer then now.

I have had no problem really like how easy it was and the stability.
So how much was all of this?
Is it metal?
How much did you spend on all that ?
Where did you get the fence from?
They sell them at lowes we’ve been debating do we buy an install ourself or what
Where do I order this? I can’t find it!
got mine at lowes today!
Lowe’s
Yeah dont wanna damage that end.... Then uses a steel hammer to the side of it.... 🤣🤣🤣🔨🔨🔨
Doesn't look neatly placed at all....I like the fence but not how you placed it...
