Installing a fence around your property is a rewarding undertaking that can enhance your home’s curb appeal, privacy, and security. With the right tools, materials, and a bit of know-how, DIY installation of any type of fence can be a fulfilling and cost-effective endeavor. If you’re looking for some advice, you’re in luck: we’ll provide you with a step-by-step guide for installing both vinyl and aluminum fencing from Big Sun Fencing.
Before you begin installation, you must accurately mark the boundaries of your property to avoid encroaching on neighboring properties—this is not only for legal/municipal purposes, but for safety reasons as well. Check with your local municipality to determine if any permits are required for fence installation in your area. Obtain any necessary permits before starting the project. Finally, purchase all necessary materials for your fence project, including fence panels, posts, gates, hardware, and concrete for post installation. Then you can get started!
Vinyl Fencing: Begin by laying out the fence line according to your property boundaries. Use stakes and string to mark the position of the fence posts. Dig holes for the fence posts using a post hole digger. Place the posts in the holes and fill them with concrete to secure them in place. Ensure that the posts are level and plumb.
Once the posts are set, attach the vinyl fence panels to the posts using screws or brackets. Ensure that the panels are level and aligned properly. If your fence includes gates, install them according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using hinges and latches to secure them in place.
Aluminum Fencing: Similar to vinyl fencing, begin by laying out the fence line and marking the position of the fence posts. Dig holes for the fence posts and set them in place using concrete. Ensure that the posts are level and aligned properly. Once the posts are set, attach the aluminum fence panels to the posts using screws or brackets. Ensure that the panels are level and aligned correctly. Install gates according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using hinges and latches to secure them in place.
