Using the wood as a lever was GENIUS!! My dad and I had spent a couple of hours trying to get the top rail off, and we were striking out until we saw your video. Thank you so much!
dude, you saved my ass. thank you. Fence took me 40 minutes in total to fix the fence. Thats watching the video going to and from the hardware store and installing the new panels. You the man!
Thank you for this educational video. I've never seen this type of fence up close, but after viewing this video, I was able to quickly repair a storm damaged section of fence. You made it understandable and easy, even for a 75 year old grandpa.
Thank you!! I found a new hole in my fence last night about baseball sized and it looks like the gate was messed with to get it! I woke up about 3:30am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep because I was unsure how I was going to fix it.. Now I know.. I'm sure I'll sleep better! Thanks again!
Oh my god thank you sooo very much. I have the same exact fence and my 3 boys have made around 12 holes with a baseball 🥲🥲🥲. I was wondering how I could fix this because I just can’t take my eyes off the holes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ☺️
This is great, helpful info. My fence has lattice at top. Never thought about lube to slide top back on, plus never took fence post top off to get leverage. This vid taught me a lot. Thanks.
So do u think putting sand in the post about 2 feet up will help keep the post in place in the event of a hurricane, my fence stayed up during Milton but I was worried about it because it went down when Ian came through, my post broke off at the ground level they were set in concrete too.
I'm back for a 2nd time to review this as I started putting my repaired mid rail in and didn't have enough room to slide it to one side to then get it to the other side. Then I was reminded of the 2x4. I might also need to slide the other rails over in the fence as you did too.
Thank you for posting this video. I've built several wood fences before but now have a vinyl fence. I needed to learn how to take down a portion for an upcoming tree removal and garage build, and your video is very helpful.
This video just saved me almost $1k that the original fence installer wad going to charge just to replace two pieces of panel. Also, Not long after installation hurricane-rain caused a down-slope post to rise up about six inches. Any suggestions for how to lower that post without having to dig around the cement, bust it up, and re-pour cement to level the post?
Thank you for the tutorial! I had to replace 3 panels due to some careless weed torching. LOL. Fortunately the local fencing supplier had exact match. I think I’ll use Roundup next time
Basically, it's the same thing on the gates. You may have a couple screws on each side at the top. You just unscrew them and pull them apart, replace the slat, then put them back together.
@@deuceliter That makes sense to me. I didn’t understand why the installer wanted to take my gate door off, take it back to his shop, repair it, return it and charge me $300. Thanks again for the info.
You would need to buy a new panel kit. I bought 4 spare panels with our fencing project, so i had extras. We have the same fence system as in the video. Lowes - Freedom Emblem
Thank you for the video. Well I also have the same type of fence but minds is leaning from high wind were I live what would you suggest to strengthen it back in place?
I have the Cyress Vinyl Fence from Home Depot. The one that looks like wood planks. All I did when replacing a broken panel, the ones that run vertically, I just bent it. I was surprised how much it could be bent without breaking or leaving a line mark. You have a white colored vinyl fence, so this wont really benefit you becuase fading isnt an issue with your fence. My fence I was told that i would see fading by 10 years. Well, the manfactor was wrong, it started fading in 4 years. When I called them and sent them pictures, how ironic that the fade was in acceptible range and I was not eligable for replacment. So I did some research and did my own tests and my final concolusion was buy a clear coat that made for garage floors with UV protection, yiou can get a gallon for 65-75 bucks. The Kyrlon UV outdoor spraty for any surface covers only about 6 panels and maybe one post. Too expensive. The garage clear coat is the bang for the buck. The clear coat brought back the pattern embedded in the vinyl. I almost restored it to its original color. From the street you cant tell which faded and which ones did not fade. The clear coat makes it shine! As for yellowing, the clearcoat states no yellowing. We'll see after a year. But the clear coat spray test I did a year ago, had no yellowing. Mineral oil works too but a heavy rain can wash it off. Mineral Oil is the key. All vinyl restoration sprays contain the secret ingrediwent of mineral oil (the amount they add varies) Mineral Oil already a UV blocker. Mineral oil on your tires work better than any tire spray becuase its thicker and last longer. Tire shine is around 19 bucks, mineral oil 3 bucks.
Hurricane Ian destroyed my 6' tall vinyl fence & with $12,000 insurance deductible I can't afford to get everything fixed. I can do this myself! Bless you!
Yes you can!!! I put mine back together myself.... Grant it, it's not straight anymore and some posts are still damaged, but the fence is fully up... Drive around and look for piles on the street... I found all the panels I needed in other people's trash!!
@@deuceliter I'm good here in DeLand FL just going to need some rigid foam packs and a winch and board my dog one weekend because the next door neighbor she has a retired police dog that doesny like my other dogs. So. Yeah. Fun fun.
Now the next question. I have tons of marks from the mower wheel. I have tried magic eraser, bleach, chlorine, soap, degreaser etc.. nothing will take them off. I hate to replace the bottom section but is there paint? i scrubbed for honestly 35 mins and it faded a little bit no where near gone. Thanks for posting bro. Nice work
Try a power washer. It will remove most stuff. But be aware that high pressure water can damage plastic, wood, concrete etc. So don't put the nozzle too close, until you know if it's going clean, but not damage. Be careful not to hit hands or feet with it.
Yes you would need to dig up the old post which is a bit of work if they are concrete. These are the freedom fences from Lowes and are fairly simple to work with.
@@deuceliter cool...im ready to put up a fence but dont want to have trouble if i have to replace a panel like in wood stockade it sucks to do..unless you bracket them....but yeah your video was helpful for sure. I just wanted to make sure it was possible to remove without taking out post. Thank you
@@christopherscotto7897 Oh that's unfortunate. You can use a flat head screwdriver and try to work it off but it will most likely break. When you replace the cap, only put a small amount of cement in one corner incase you need to remove them again in the future.

I’m using this to repair my fence after Hurricane Ian. Thanks so much for creating this!
Glad to help, hope you didn't get to much damage! This repair was from hurricane Irma a few years ago.
Oh my god thank you sooo very much. I have the same exact fence and my 3 boys have made around 12 holes with a baseball 🥲🥲🥲. I was wondering how I could fix this because I just can’t take my eyes off the holes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ☺️

Nice job! Blew a hole in mine and didn’t know how to fix. Now I do. Thank you
No problem!
Can't thank you enough for doing this! I completely have a mental grasp on how to do this now. 💪🤓👍
Glad to help Gman, good luck!
Thank you sir .. answered my exact questions after Milton 👍
No problem!

Thanks I Appreciate the video.
I have to repair a customer's fence just like the one you did in a couple days.
This is going to help me straighten out my Vinyl privacy fence in my back yard. THANK YOU! :)
Great video such useful golden nuggets! Thank you. Do you have a link of what they call the top rail. The whole panel shows up in my searches.
Like the soap idea

Great video. Is it the same process for replacing a slat in the gate door? The top looks a little more involved.
Basically, it's the same thing on the gates. You may have a couple screws on each side at the top. You just unscrew them and pull them apart, replace the slat, then put them back together.

This is the video i needed
lové, inspirations for installing & repair for my backyard fence
Thank you for the video. Well I also have the same type of fence but minds is leaning from high wind were I live what would you suggest to strengthen it back in place?
You will have to dig around the post, get it plumb (level), then backfill it with concrete.
Great presentation. Punched a hole in one panel. Hoping I can now replace in the spring. Thanks.
Thank you Michael! Always keep a few extra panels just in case. Things unfortunately do happen!
I learned something new today. Yes, saw your neighbor spying on you too.😂😂😂
Can I use vinyl mobile home skirts to repair my vinyl fence?
I would like to see a video on repairing Freedom vinyl fence and posts leaning over slightly, after a hurricane.

Hurricane Nicole is passing over and part of my fence is leaning. I had no idea how the hell to get this apart. Now I do. Thanks for the video.
Stay safe! Nicole is over us right now as well.
@@deuceliter I'm good here in DeLand FL just going to need some rigid foam packs and a winch and board my dog one weekend because the next door neighbor she has a retired police dog that doesny like my other dogs. So. Yeah. Fun fun.
Great video! Nicole took out a section of our fence this morning and I've been stressing about it all day! You have eased my worries!
Does the bottom rail come out fairly easy too? I could see it being more of an issue since you probably can’t get as much deflection?
It's not bad, just slide it all the way to one side then it will pop out easily.
It has been very hard to find a 9 1/2’ top fence railing. Do they come this long?
Excellent video, very clear and informative!
Does anyone know where I can get replacement panels (not the entire kit)? I've searched Home Depot and Lowes:(
They were sold out recently when I needed to buy more. If you go on Lowes website you can set up a reminder when they come back in stock. Good luck!

How do you install a vinyl fence section onto a regular bracket?
Big thanks can’t wait to do this
How do you make a 1 inch gap get tighter ( upper post and rail right next to post)?
This was perfect! Thank you.

2x4 useful but I got to make sure it's small enough to fit in there,,, or a crow bar type tool
How many more layers of fence will your neighbor go for?
What do you do if the tabs on the top rail are broken? My fence keeps separating from the post at the top when it's windy. Thanks!
Put a screw in top rail and that will prevent it from sliding 👍
Thanks so much!! This video is perfect!!
Is it possible to replace part of a post? Or part of gate for similar type fence?
Yes you would need to dig up the old post which is a bit of work if they are concrete. These are the freedom fences from Lowes and are fairly simple to work with.
Thank you!
No problem!
How do I fix a pvc posted with an attached door that is heavy making the post loose ?
Did you install the aluminum post inside the PVC? Those are there for this reason, to strengthen the posts for gates.
THank you❤
Thanks! Your da best bro!
Thank you. That was great.
where did you get the panels
This kit is sold at Lowes. Freedom vinyl fence panels
Are these posts in concrete
Yes, all posts are concreted.
@@deuceliter cool...im ready to put up a fence but dont want to have trouble if i have to replace a panel like in wood stockade it sucks to do..unless you bracket them....but yeah your video was helpful for sure.

Thank you Steve!
This was great thank
You!!
No problem!
Thanks!
God bless you
Thanks! May He bless you as well
This is the easy part in repairing a damaged fence the hard part is straightening the fence post that are leaning.
Use enough concrete on each post, and they shouldn't lean. You'll have to dig around the side opposite of the lean and pull them back straight.
My neighbor just punched a hole with garden tool thx for this video. He no speak English when he break fence.
Me gusto tu video
Gracias!
And what happens when they cement them
All of my posts are cemented. If the post is damaged, just dig around the concreted posts and remove it.
The top part is cemented to the post
@@christopherscotto7897 Oh that's unfortunate. You can use a flat head screwdriver and try to work it off but it will most likely break. When you replace the cap, only put a small amount of cement in one corner incase you need to remove them again in the future.
Fix a vinyl post.
You'll have to dig it up and replace it with a new one
