That is a lot of great information. It definitely will be very helpful to everyone thinking about installing this on their own. We really appreciate you sharing this. Can you post the link to those solar powered lights? There's no such thing as too much solar powered lights in our yard. 🤣

Thanks for the info..sir do you mind putting the info on does solar lights from ebay?? Is so thanks

How did you install the post yourself? Did you use an auger? I have lower back pain but i want to do it myself

solar powered LED lights are getting brighter and last longer every year. also cheaper.

@@davidjacobs8558 I plan on running low voltage power through the panels. The top beam portion is hollow allowing you to run wire through it, just run 24 volt through it and have a new line every 4-5 panels. Way better than solar as you can turn them on or have them set to motion. Hear something rumbling i flick them on entire backyard lights up like a Xmas tree, had on my old fence and plan to install on new, my old backyard was about the size of this guys, and cost was about 300, 170 of that in wire and connectors.... each dimmable cap was 5 bucks on ebay at the time, if i remember it was like 6 bucks for a 2 pack for nondimmers. Also what's nice is i can hook my Xmas LED prehung pvc pipes right in the runs of the 24 volt with simple connectors. No need to run more wire.

That is awesome to hear! We're so glad we could help (and save you some cash too! 🎉) We've been hard at work on the house so there's more videos coming down the pipeline very soon! Check out our fence lights video if you wanna jazz yours up. They've totally transformed our yard since adding them.

Yeah we were shocked at how expensive wood fencing is plus all that added maintenance on top of it. My parent's neighbor installed vinyl 20 years ago and it still looks like new today. If you're gonna go with the vinyl you should check out our recent video showing our fence solar lights. They're a great alternative to those pricey solar post caps. Great tip about the military discount too 👍

You're welcome! The fence has been such a game changer for our pups. They've never had a yard of their own before where they could be off leash and it's great to see how happy they are to run around freely now. The investment was definitely worth it! Belly rubs to your 3! 🧡🧡🧡

Thank you for sharing that! It's great information to know for anybody that might come through here from your region. It sounds like it's a good fence overall too. Especially with no pets a 5" gap isn't too bad. We've seen some in our area that have massive gaps of probably a foot or so. Not sure how they managed that 😅 the bushes will add a nice touch and solve the issue in one go.

@@MillennialLiving Very informative. For folks that may have a gap there are several companies that make a metal panel that simply pushes down into the ground at the base of the fence to prevent a dog from digging under the fence. It can be used with or without a gap if you have a digger. Check out Petco for Dig Defence. We are looking into a fence to keep the neighbors dogs from pooping in our yard. Currently we don't have a dog, but inconsiderate neighbors will be forcing us to spend the money on a fence. We are unable to put a full on privacy panel as the code requires 50% visibility, and height restrictions.

@@lahawk2931 That is great information to have about the Dig Defence. Thanks for sharing that with everyone. I'm sure it will help a lot of us. We really appreciate you watching and hope that you can find the right fence!

@@MillennialLiving Question: Did you consider the shorter length fence sections (6') for less flexing vs the 8' ones? I'm removing a wood fence with 8' sections, and since I'll be trashing the wooden 4x4 posts I thought it might be a more rigid fence with the shorter panels. Thanks again!

Our sales rep told us that because of the slope of our lawn the longer panels would give us more ability to follow the slope to get as close to the ground as possible. With a windier area the increased flex can help with allowing the fence to flex with the wind. If it's vinyl and too rigid there's a greater possibility of the panels cracking if a strong storm comes through. If you're not having to deal with much wind then I would say it really just is all up to the aesthetic that you want. I personally like the look of the longer panels also because the shorter seem to have a more choppy look to them.

@@MillennialLiving Thanks for that. The winds from Hurricane Irma blew through here at about 85 mph, and I was curious about that longer panel consideration. Thanks again for the great video. Cheers!

Another great piece of information for people to know. Thanks for sharing this.

We did look at the online fence companies but ended up going with Lowe's. We went with the custom Lowe's vinyl fence you can order through a salesman and then installed by their contractor. If you're handy then one of the online options will save you some money. Earthbound, appreciate you watching and don't forget to give us a like and a subscribe! 🤣🇺🇸❤️

Thank you! We didn't have any existing fence but from my understanding they would roll that cost to remove it into your bid. I'm not sure how much it would be though since it would probably depend on how much fencing there is to remove and what type it is. That would be something I'd get a few bids for as you might be able to save some money by paying a different contractor just to remove the old fence vs having it all done at once by the fence installer depending.

Thank you so much! We have more videos coming up soon including a one year update on the fence too.

Glad it was helpful! 🙏 1. It was the ready to assemble. That way they could contour the fence to the slope of our yard. 2. We mentioned how much we paid in the video, that included install. Lauren, appreciate you watching and don't forget to give us a like and a subscribe! 🤣♥️🇺🇸

Our main deciding factor was the level of confidence in getting everything done right that Lowe's gave us. I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere but in our region HD basically just sells you the fence and install but passes you along to a contractor they work with to handle scheduling and any other issues. The contractor they sent was not very professional and was actually the same company we had scheduled another bid with for a different brand of fence. In that interaction they had no idea what was going on, scheduled us, forgot our appt, showed up without notice after we tried to cancel the appt they had no record of... it was a mess. When they showed up as the HD representative it didn't give us confidence that they'd do a good job. Lowe's acted as the point of contact for us with our contractor through them and told us if anything wasn't done correctly or any issues they would handle getting a team back out to rectify any issues. Overall both Lowe's and our contractor were professional and communicative. We also had to have some fence line cleared of branches and such. We had to do it because we wanted to go all the way up to the property line and there were some bushes right on the border and a few low hanging branches. Our rep did tell us though that there were some spots we could leave if we wanted to but that if there are strong winds or storms and the branches rub or hang onto the fence it could cause damage. So imo if you're spending a lot of the fence I'd rather spend a little bit more money (or effort if diy) to remove the branches in order to not have issues down the line. I hope this helps!

Our fence is holding up really well. Haven't had any issues with it. You will save money by ordering it online and doing it yourself but there's more headaches with it and a lot more work. When it's delivered you'll be responsible for unloading the pallets off the truck too if you go that route. If you did go with Lowes and have them install it during a time when you save 10% you'd end up paying practically what you would to diy but have the peace of mind of professional installation and guarantee. www.vinylfence.com is a good option if you're still wanting to diy. They have the equivalent of the freedom 6' fence.

Hi Peter, unfortunately we don't know the answer. We had Lowe's install it for us and we were out of town so I didn't get to see how they did it. I recommend you calling up a fence company and asking them. If you're missing any parts then get with Lowe's. They delivered the wrong product to us and they immediately sent over two people to go over every part they delivered and when they figured it out, the correct order was brought the next day. Here's the number for Freedom fencing: 888-418-4400 It's been a few years now and the vinyl fence was the best improvement we did to the house. You won't regret it 🇺🇸❤️ Hope this helps!

Thanks Edward! If there's anything we left out please share so that this comment section can help others

I don't think it would work since the panels would really need to have reinforced support on either side of the driveway (which you could do) but also in the center to prevent sagging. That would be where the issue would come in since you wouldn't want to put a post in the center of your driveway. They do sell oversized gates specifically for things like that. You may have to purchase that part special from the manufacturer and it will be pricey as gates tend to cost more than a panel in general. But I would say it's worth it to have it done right and not encounter issues upon installation.

We live in Chicago and when we said Miami Dade we meant the wind rating. The strongest a fence can be is Miami Dade rated which means it can withstand winds up to 115 mph. Ivan, come check out our main channel 5 Minute Eats - kzfaq.info 🤣♥️🇺🇲

You're in luck, they do make some fences in 8ft high sizes but they're pretty pricey. I wouldn't mind having an alligator filled moat for added privacy 😄

@@ernestreyes9147 If you pushed it with a little force it won't break. Your dog might be able to after several tries. Plus, he might leave scratches on it. Talk with your salesman what he thinks. Maybe he'll recommend getting it Miami Dade strong.

1. Lowes told us we had to get the permit 2. Asked one neighbor if we could trim parts of his shrubs to make it easier to install other than that we didn't need permission since it's on our land. 3. The fence was on our land so they didn't go in on it. Would have been nice lol Thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe!

Yes they came around 8am and were done by 5pm, that included assembling the panels, digging the holes and the installation of everything. According to our Lowe's rep the pre-built panels you can buy in the store and diy can't be racked since they're already put together but I would assume the pro-install kit has a different top and bottom rail that allows for racking since they put it together as they go to follow the land. If you're looking to diy you may be able to ask the store rep about ordering the pro kit instead of the ready made panels. If you do get a fence installed come back and let us know your region and your price plf so that others can have an idea of the differing prices 👍🏻

The first thing you need to do is find out how many feet of fence you need to cover. Go find your homes plat to determine that. It will have a diagram in feet of your land. Then once you have the number of feet then you can DuckDuckGo for websites that will calculate how much of fencing you'll need for your home. Otherwise, what I'd recommend is call up a few fence places and have them come out and give you a few quotes. They'll give you a free quote with a breakdown of everything. Hope this helps.
