What You Absolutely Need to Install Your Fence

• Fence panels
• Posts (If you’re stepping your fence on a slope, make sure your posts are tall enough.)
• Anchoring system
• Post caps (Vinyl fence only — aluminum posts include caps.)
• Post pounder (Optional, but it makes installation faster. See options here.)

Optional (But Common)

• Gate(s) — Our gates include hardware. For added stability, we typically recommend sizing up your post anchors when installing a gate.
