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

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.

This fence is pretty great quality and works as expected. We just needed a small fence to keep our corgi from leaving the yard. It took longer than expected to install because we kept hitting rock. We thought we could just hammer it in and move on, but every time we hit some hard we had to make sure it wasn't piping and then dig it up and remove any rocks. So I would say just make sure you have a shovel on hand. Other than that its not too bad. Ideally a two-person job. We only got half the fence done so keep that in mind when looking at the picture.

Nice and sturdy

The fencing comes in a package you assemble. It provides enough screws to fully assemble but the instructions leave some things out. The fence is held in place by metal poles that require embedment into the ground. I found I needed a post hole hammer to get them in. Each fence comes with a pillar used to cover the metal pole . The issue is that in order to secure the pillar and the fence rails you need to drill into the metal pole. A drill bit is provided but it is the wrong size and will not work when trying to secure the screws and bolts. The fence rails are held on by plastic fixtures with predrilled holes . When install on uneven slopes these holes will not align and will require some adjustment . Once assembled the fence looks great . During the assembly the fence posts fit through a top rail and into a bottom rail . I found I had to align and level the rails before putting the posts in. Also in order to maintain symmetry I had to dig into the ground to get the posts to align . The posts are plastic so this takes care and time . My wife and my neighbors all were very happy with the final look of the product . I have built wood fencing and this is relatively easier and more flexible to install.

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.
