- Choosing A Vinyl Fence. Tags: Hey everybody! Today’s video is everything you need to know when trying to choose between your vinyl fence options. For us it was very frustrating seeing reviews but nobody would say how much it cost them. We’re breaking it all down on how much we paid for our Freedom Emblem 6 Foot Vinyl Privacy fence installed by Lowe’s and also how much the other options we got bids for cost.

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.
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.
this video is PERFECT! i was looking for exactly this. I got an outrageous quote and want to build a nice vinyl fence myself and buy all the materials myself. thank you for this video!

Excellent information. Thank you. I was thinking about a pre-stained cedar board on board but when I started pricing everything out I had to pick myself off the floor and decide on Vinyl. Don't forget if you are a military vet Lowe's gives a 10% discount on everything if you have a MyLowe's card and register online.
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 👍
Thanks for this insight! actually went with Lowes as well based on your review and advise (got the 10% off too) on waiting for the sale. please keep up with the great reviews.
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.
yes thats the next step. will use your links for that to help out a bit.
We really appreciate the support!
Thank you! I’m so overwhelmed 🤦🏻♀️
You're welcome! Hopefully this helped a little bit! We were in the same boat when we first started looking into all the fencing options
Thank you so much ! This was very helpful! We have 3 little Pomeranians and your thumbnail got me lol Its just so hard for me to take them all out on leashes it would be amazing to have a fenced in back yard. We live too close to a road so i wouldn't dare let them out without a leash or a fence. thanks for all the great info!
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! 🧡🧡🧡
Thanks for the video. This was/is very helpful as I have been looking into adding vinyl fencing around my property and since my HOA only allows white vinyl six foot fences...this was most helpful and right on time for me. Thanks again and I have subscribed.

Great review. Made me think since I was looking into putting money on a wood fence. I think I may go with this instead and look into it at Lowes. Thanks!
No problem. Make sure to come back and let us know how everything goes. Check out our fence light video to jazz up your future fence. It took our fence to the next level. 🇺🇸🐶❤️

What did you end up going with? I prefer the look of painted wood, as vinyl is too shiny....but, the older we get I know that we need to take into account the considerable maintenance of painted/stained wood.
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.
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!
Its best to put it on yourself when you can and save alot on $$$ for other things you need, I just bought my fence and Im waiting for a good day to install them and so excitet for it
If you're handy then definitely it's the better way to go. Joel, appreciate you watching and don't forget to give us a like and a subscribe! ❤️🇺🇸🤣
Lowes sells a contractor package deal that takes 10% off any time if you buy 10 or more sections. see the yellow label next to the white price guide for non-contractors.
Another great piece of information for people to know. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you...well done and very informative video.

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. I have been trying to decide between wood and vinyl, and your video totally helped! My only concern I had,,, does it get dirty easily? 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!
We've had ours for a few years now and I haven't had to wash it yet. I think it's because of where we live(burbs of Chicago). We have pine trees around ours and haven't had issues with sap. Thanks for the love on the shirt 🙏 M Diaz, come check out our main channel 5 Minute Eats. Link: czcams.com/users/5MinuteEats

Thank you for doing this video very informative. I have my fence install coming up soon. Where did you get the lock for the gate?
Thank you so much. The lock was an option when we looked into fences. Everyone offers it. Don't forget to subscribe!
Thank you for this video. I’m shopping for a fence. I like the idea of the bottom, top rail and post having steel inserts. By chance, did you look at Duramax. I stopped into Lowe’s and saw their little skimpy vinyl fence parts. I assume you went through their beefier custom design. I’m still trying to decide.
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! 🤣🇺🇸❤️

You saved me a lot of headaches, I have an ActiveYards supplier by my house but they only offer the Dogwood Home Series privacy fence and not the Haven. For those looking at the ActiveYards stay away from the Home Series, it's very flimsy, your better off with the Lowes version that he is showing. Thank you for posting.

Your video answered so many questions we had regarding picking our fence. Your research was so thorough and helpful. Please make more videos!
Thank you so much! We have more videos coming up soon including a one year update on the fence too.
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.
You welcome! We've had ours for a few years now and they still look like the day we had them put in. The vinyl fence makes the house pop. Great curve appeal 😀 Trini, appreciate you watching! Come check out our main channel 5 Minute Eats - czcams.com/users/5MinuteEats 🤣❤️🇺🇸

Very informative and well done video! Very concise and easy to follow! This is actually the same model I’m looking at getting from Lowe’s. I have 2 questions for you.
1.) was this the “Ready-to-Assemble” one where they have to place each picket in?
2.) May I ask roughly how much did it cost for them to install it?
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! 🤣♥️🇺🇸

Very Informative. Thanks!! Did you have an existing fences that needed to be taken down? Wondering if that would be an additional charge.
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.
Great review and run down of the major manufacturers and PLF costs. How large is your backyard area acre wise? Thanks.
Thank you so much! Roughly a fifth of an acre. Chad, appreciate you watching and don't forget to give us a like and a subscribe! ❤️🇺🇸🤣
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!
Thank you George! When you get yours done come back and let us know if there were any pricing variations for your region.
@@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!
Great video and thanks. Lowes quoted me $6821 for the exact fence. My yard is 190 LF.

just the fence or thats the price with the labor to?
I can not wait, im having a privacy fence installed in a few weeks! I love the way you can lock that gate. Did they install that gate lock for you or did you have to install it yourself? Thanks, that was very helpful information.
The lock was installed by Loews. Not expensive at all and it's nice to have the option to lock it if we need to. Mary, appreciate you watching and don't forget to give us a like and a subscribe! 🤣♥️🇺🇸
Very precise, detailed, and informative. Thanks for sharing all of your work. If possible, can you send some close up pictures or video of the section by the side gate that comes in contact with the garage, I think? There's a post about 12 inches from the garage. Wonder how they finished it there.
We're working on a two year update and will make sure include that. What they did is cut the vinyl and make it flush with the siding of the house.

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.. ;)
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!
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you so much !
This was a great review.

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.
You welcome! Don't forget to subscribe
The post is cemented into place but the panel can be replaced.
Here's a video how:

Pretty cool. I wish they had 8 to 10 foot privacy fences. 😎
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 😄
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.
Nicholas, thanks for sharing your experience. This is definitely something to think about when buying a fence. Appreciate you watching and don't forget to like and subscribe ❤️🇺🇸🤣
Thank you so much for this video. We have a very active 40 pound dog (not the one in the profile pic) who has done serious damage to our 6' wooden privacy fence. She and the neighbor dogs lunge at the fence and have knocked out or broken several wooden planks. How do you think the vinyl would stand up to active dogs and possible barrier aggression between neighboring dogs? Thanks!
I don't know if the vinyl fence panels will hold up with the dogs jumping on it. If you do go with vinyl then I think you should get it Miami-Dade rated so the posts are reinforced. Linda, appreciate you watching! Come check out our main channel 5 Minute Eats - czcams.com/users/5MinuteEats 🤣❤️🇺🇸

@@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.
Great presentation, clear and to the point and included advice on things to avoid. I will check out the box stores.
Thank you so much. If you get a bid, come back and let us know how much and your region. So others can have more of an idea what to expect.
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?
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 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?
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 🇺🇸❤️

Thank you! 🎉
Not every Lowes used barret vinyl. Eastern Wholesale fencing is another which IS miami dade approved.
Rolf thanks so much for the info. Really appreciate it. In our area we don't have that option. Thanks for helping others make an informed purchase.
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?
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.
Great video! I live in miami dade as well and was considering Lowes. I had a quote from home depot but, they said it would take 3 months. How did you get Lowes contact for fance i could not find on their website
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 - czcams.com/users/5MinuteEats 🤣♥️🇺🇲
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.
