Installed this exact fence in my yard. Freedom fence brand purchased at LOWES for $113 per section. The gate kit costs $119 plus panel kit ($87). An aluminum H post is required for hinge post to support gate. Each section is $113 plus concrete. Aluminum H piece is $41. Panels are 6 x 8 ft. Installation is easy for one person installing 4-6 panels per day. Fence looks identical to the one shown. I am 74 year old male and installed it all myself. I installed solar powered night lights that cost $12 each on E-Bay, and do not require battery replacement. Purchased 6 originally and have been very impressed with them and been using them for about a year from first purchase. Lights are 48 LED panels and I use them on garage doors, house entrances, front fence panels and around yard. They come on at night, dimly and when you get within 12 feet, they get bright automatically and highlight an area about 200 square feet for up to two minutes after you leave. Installed 13 panels plus one 8 ft wide gate past week, April 2020, and it is great looking. Cost $1,600 plus concrete and a couple days of my time.

[@MillennialLiving]

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. 🤣

[@CaliLakers1]

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

[@YouTh3r3]

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

[@davidjacobs8558]

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

[@Tim_Gravy]

@@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.

[@123bojac]

Your presentation is outstanding. I just had Lowe's install a vinyl fence all around my back yard. I live in NC and the fencing came from Hudson Fencing which is in SC. The fencing material from Hudson is of higher quality than what you buy right out of Lowe's it self. I found that out after I ordered it. The only problem I have is, I'm on a corner lot and that fence (with the double gate in the middle) runs 170 feet and the ground slops very gradually with one end about 5" and eventually the other end almost meet the ground. But as you look at the fence it's straight as an arrow on the top and bottom. I think I can live with it. We don't have pets to worry about and I'm thinking about running bushes in front.

[@MillennialLiving]

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.

[@lahawk2931]

@@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.

[@MillennialLiving]

@@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!

Thanks, very informative. We are getting our first quote next Wednesday. This helps me ask all the right questions. My husband and I are in Southern California, Corona. It gets really hot and really windy behind my home. The land is also hilly. I was worried about the fence warping. Thanks for explain everything about installation and also the different looks. I was wondering about the thicker rails some have on their fences. I have neighbors vinyl fences that really look bad. They seem to be warped, scratched and faded. I am assuming they didn’t stabilize it with the inserts and used chemicals when cleaning. For someone who knew nothing this has really helped me a lot.

[@nicholashalsey3730]

If there are any...any gabs under the vinyl fences and you have dogs that like to dig. The dogs will dig and if you have a big german shepard full grown. He will knock the gate open by pushing or leaning on the gate door until the posts bend open. And at other posts if there is any type of gap between the panels. That same heavy dog will gar loose the post until a panel comes loose and then pushes out. Wood fences did not have most of the issues because of the strength of the posts.

[@ThePetlowany]

By far the most informative video on purchase options and pricing for vinyl fencing I've come across. Going to be doing 320' around my property north of Tampa, and this was really helpful. Thanks!

[@MillennialLiving]

Thank you George! When you get yours done come back and let us know if there were any pricing variations for your region.

[@ThePetlowany]

@@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!

[@MillennialLiving]

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.

[@ThePetlowany]

@@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!

Great video - thank you for all of the details! My 13 year old wooden fence blew over today, and with 2 dogs, that is a big problem.

IE, my vinyl railings on my porch get very dirty and I need to power wash them a few times a year. The vinyl fence will be under huge pine trees, so I don't know if the sap will cause a problem... I'll be heading over to Lowe's tomorrow. BTW - great T-shirt!

[@meltham111]

Thanks for the video. Trying to decide between Lowes and Home depot.. What was the main deciding factor for you.. I know you mentioned that Lowes has a better fence quality. Lowes asked us to get rid of a lot of our trees and bushes.. Home Depot was willing to install without us remove them.. I was leaning towards Home Depot, after watching your video im still on the Fence.. ;)

[@MillennialLiving]

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!

I went through Lowe's and the guy that came and did the estimate for me would not give me the estimate to buy the materials to DIY it. So I asked him to give the employee at the pro desk the estimate so the employee can figure on how much fencing I need. He refused to do that. Lowes is a real headache don't know if this is a practice they do in their whole company or if it's just the store. Can you tell me how to figure out how much fencing I need since they don't want to help me.

[@MillennialLiving]

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.

When you said the reason you selected this fence brand is because the bottom rail will follow the lay of the land that is crap every other brand will follower the slope of your land as well.

Just to be clear...you stated you paid $7816.00 for 272 linear feet which came out to $28.74 per linear foot, with the 10% discount from Lowes.? Did that include all supplies, parts AND labor (contractor) AND tax...out the door

[@MillennialLiving]

Yes that's correct. When Lowe's gives you the project cost it's with everything included start to finish. Unfortunately they don't give a breakdown of cost so I'm not sure which parts were tax, install, supplies, etc.

Lowe's didn't give a breakdown of each item on the bid, just noted the Emblem 6x8 panel, New England post caps, 4ft gate, etc so I don't have exact item numbers. But if you're needing to rack the fence panels to contour to your land I think you would need the ready to assemble variety as opposed to a pre made panel. I hope that helps a bit!

We purchased the Lowe's fencing and we are planning on installing it ourselves. I was expecting better help or at least better help in designing and purchasing the parts. The guy we ended up with seemed to know what he was doing but we are missing some parts and I have a question about the corner post. I understand the end posts get the stiffener but so far I haven't seen anything to add strength to corner post. Also, some people say put the concrete in first, others say add it later. I have two questions: 1. What do I do to stiffen the corner post? 2. Concrete first or concrete after installing the post?

[@MillennialLiving]

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!

[@macster1457]

if you're going to have a company install it, then hiring your own installers will be a lot cheaper than Lowes. Lowes hires sub contractors and charge you a lot more money than if you go directly to the same sub contractor yourself.

[@MillennialLiving]

Interesting point you bring up. Where we live, we contacted a few installers but they charged the same price as Lowe's. The bigger issue was they weren't as professional which you want when spending almost $10k. Macster, appreciate you watching and don't forget to give us a like and a subscribe! ❤️🇺🇸🤣

Thanks for the video. Does the Lowe's fence come apart easily if you need to replace a panel? It looks like it all locks in solid which I like, but I worry I wouldn't be able to take it apart if one were to get a hole in it.

Had Lowes come out to estimate same fence and they want $7700 for 157 feet ?? $49 per foot ? I'm in Chicago but dam!

We live in the Chicagoland area(Schaumburg). Did you go for a color ? Or one that's taller ?

[@edpp6572]

Nope white same as yours, same white color and same brand, I have 3 gates ( 2 that are 36 Inches and 1 that is 48 inches) can that make a difference ?

It's possible, I'm not sure about how the difference in size of gate would affect it but I know for our one gate it was over $500 all in for the gate, posts, stiffeners and hardware.

I have an existing wood stockade fence. Will I be able to use the existing wooden fence posts? Will the vinyl posts slide over the wooden posts?

Sorry Ken, we're not sure of the answer to that offhand. If you call up lowes and talk to their fence salesman they should be able to tell you if that's possible.

Hi, what do you mean by Miami Dade rated? I also live in MIA and I am curious if this is something I should know

[@MillennialLiving]

Miami Dade wind rating is the the strongest a vinyl fence can get. Miami Dade rating is sustained winds of 75 mph and gusts of 115 mph. If you live in that area then that's what their fence code requires. The rest of the country doesn't require that but if you pay extra then you can make it as strong as the Miami Dade area.

Can you do an updated video on your fence after having it for a while and things you would do differently?

[@MillennialLiving]

Definitely. We're waiting on the weather to get a little warmer to give an update. We should have it live by late April/Early May. We've had it for almost 3 years and no regrets. Very pleased with it.

[@antolinfrias7226]

I putting this fence around my backyard which includes my 15' wide driveway, do you think i can put two panels as gate door? Would this be a problem?

[@MillennialLiving]

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.

Hows that fence holding up? Im considering doing a vinyl fence from lowes but its the freedom 6' vinyl privacy fence. I have 300 linear feet with and that includes two walk through gates (like yours) and one double wide. I was going to install this fence myself using some concrete. What do you think my privacy fence would cost if I had it delivered from online retailer other than a big box store. What online source would you recommend I order it from?

[@MillennialLiving]

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.

What is the difference between the 6'h x 6'w panels and the 6'h x 8'w? Which one would be better.

[@MillennialLiving]

6x6 panels will probably end up costing you a bit more overall because it will require more panels, posts, digging/cement in order to enclose the yard vs the 6x8 panels. The 6x6 will be a bit more rigid though due to the posts being closer together so it could be more sturdy unless you're in a high wind area, in that case you would want more give. Lastly, the overall aesthetics is what you have to consider. Personally I think the proportions of the 6x6 looks strange compared to the 6x8 but that's purely personal preference.
