3ft H x 6ft W (1 Panel + 1 Post) No Dig Zippity Newport Fence Kit, White Vinyl Picket Fence, Easy Install Outdoor Fence for Backyard or Patio, DIY Decorative Fencing, ZP19002

Very happy with this gate and fence system. Plenty strong enough for our very small dogs. And it was a pleasure not to have to use cement or dig holes. Just follow the directions exactly on the gate and it's excellent. It does come with spring loaded hinges so that was a plus. I would buy this product again

Went together flawlessly!!!

My husband and I put this fence together as a team. The instructions are clear. It does take time to put everything together, but besides the time factor, it is easy assembly. The important thing to know is that it's not 100% no dig because to do it correctly, you need to dig out a 4 inch square hole where the post go so that your vinyl posts are 4 inches buried in ground. This is shown in the fence diagram in the product image shown here on amazon as well as the instructions it comes with. So what you do is dig out a small 4 inch square hole, then drive your steel post into the ground (centered), then put the vinyl post overtop and into the 4 inch hole. This creates the right height for the post and picket to be near in height and creates stability for post. Here is what we did to make it run smoother: we made a string outline around the yard where fence would go, using bamboo rods and string. This provided clarity and guide to kept fence straight as we go. My husband dug out the 4 inch holes and did the steel post using a post driver (got for $35). While he was doing his post around the perimeter, I was taking the vinyl post and measuring where the bottom bracket would go. I then used the actual bracket as my guide to mark the 4 holes for the screws. Then I predrilled the screw holes using the drill bit they provided in your kit. The predrilled holes made it much easier to efficiently put brackets on once post in place. We did all the post and brackets, then added the horizontal 6 ft pieces, then last step was to put in the pickets and secure ends with screws. This process created a nice flow. It took us from 9am to 7pm to fully complete ours. We bought 14 boxes, plus a gate and end post. We used them all and had to make 2 special cuts. The fence is 3ft in height so it does look like an attractive small picket fence. We installed for our 3 dogs and 2 of which are big dogs and it truly does the job keeping them inside securely, while looking attractive. Hope this review helps.

The end result is worth it, but you won't have a good time if you're working on a larger area by yourself.Here are the things that I learned:1) There are no real instructions or guidance for working on ground that isn't level- just a few sentences in the instructions that suggest that it's possible.2) A standard fence-post-pounder breaks the ground-level marker ring clean off these short posts within a few drops, but luckily it's useless anyway. Get a 10lb sledgehammer instead.Here is the key lesson I learned:3) Horizontal continuity and the appearance of parallel lines from one panel to the next for the top and bottom rail is the most important thing- far more important than height of the bottom rail above the ground, or the relative height of the pickets in relation to the post caps. From one panel to the next, the brackets and rails should be perfectly horizontally aligned with the previous panel's at the starting point if you're not using a step-like installation method on uneven ground.If you mess this part up, the whole thing will look jagged and terrible. The flow is: Finish one panel, align/level the brackets for the next panel precisely with the previous brackets, and continue to level or angle your rail as needed.Here are some general things:1) This is too expensive for a single short galvanized fence post, cover, cap, and fence panel.2) There are no plumbing/leveling donuts like on the Wambam models to justify this being about the same price. You'll have to do the (much) harder work with leveling and plumbing yourself.3) Seriously, what is the point of that plastic yellow ring?All of that being said- I like how it turned out. It just isn't easy or quick to do by yourself if your yard isn't flat.

I wanted to make a barrier between my driveway and that of my neighbor, as their trashcans were always blowing over and spilling the trash therein onto my lawn. I wanted the barrier to be effective, yet not hostile. For this purpose, I hit upon putting up a classic picket fence as the barrier. It would come off as a lot friendlier than anything made of wire. After a little research, I found Zippity fence. As I had just put up a solid vinyl privacy fence, I knew what fencing would cost and the whole deal of digging holes, pouring concrete, etc. Zippity promised to give me the fence I wanted without having to go through all that. To keep costs down, I bought all the 9 sections of fence that I needed via Amazon Warehouse, only choosing the sections marked "Like New" or "Very Good". Those sections merely had damage to the boxes, not to the fence sections themselves, except in one case. And Amazon promptly made good on that, sending me a replacement section.I had a handyman install the Zippity fence. He carefully laid out a string to keep the fence straight and used a sledge hammer to drive the metal post of each section into the ground. Then he had to lay the connecting piece of the next section into the bracket of the first section, and screw them together in that position. He had no problem installing this fence. I have already gotten numerous compliments from neighbors and passers-by. I really love the fence. It's perfect for that suburban picket fence thing.

ok

This thing is great! We use it on our porch as added security just in case someone opens our door and the dogs get out. This way, they can't get off the porch. The really impressive part if the hinges. Very heavy and well made hinges. The spring closure feature is just right. Not so strong that you have to struggle to open it when you have stuff in your hands, but strong enough to securely close the gate.
