The holes are the wrong size
The fence panels dont fit into the holes. The result is I am having to pay my contractor to cut each hole bigger. Complete waste of time. Please can someone contact me

    I already had 2x4 posts (actual size 3.5x3.5) in the ground so I positioned the vinyl post over them. Had to cut them off to size, but was no problem. I also bought the decorative post tops to finish them off. And I also bought the Veranda fence to mount between the posts. Everything working fine and looks great.

    Excellent product! Easy to cut and paint! Lightweight, but solid when placed in a concrete base. I use them to create posts within garden areas to house electrical outlets.

    Bought this to go with 2 8’ sections of 3’ tall Veranda fencing to add some curb appeal. The 72” length was perfect when cut exactly in half. Very easy to cut with miter saw.

    I actually didn't use this as a fencepost, but to create a waterproof, lightweight storage unit for the black tank hose on my RV. I had previously been using two empty battery storage boxes, which caused me to have to coil the hoses up, and I was worried they would get crushed and damaged. This long, straight fence post has an ideal space to fit the hose, even with its collars and the elbow; and ideal balance between wall strength and light weight. I cut a 5-foot length for the main hose, and later added a second level for a partial length, zip-tying them onto the bumper. Easy peasy! I used two post caps, one to close up each end, after I drilled holes to allow it to dry out as I drive, thus eliminating the worst of any lingering odor. It's perfect and I know it will last a long time and be quite serviceable.

      Fence went up fairly easily. Bought a gate and an 8 foot length of fence which I had to cut to around 5 feet. Had a little trouble inserting the fence slats into the frame. Had to use soapy water to make them slide in better. The slide-in post attachments worked very well.

      The Veranda fence is easy to put together (did myself) but I cheated a little... I put each of the pickets through the bottom railing and then stood the whole thing up (tricky) and then put the top railing on, across each of the pickets. I tried it the way the instructions did, but then found a short cut that worked for me. I used a no-dig system to attach each post to, but don't know that I like it as much as the more traditional, hold digging, concrete way. The no-dig system tended to twist as I pounded them into our hard, clay soil and then that makes the whole fence look a little crooked. Overall, very nice looking fence!

      Storage tube for RV
      I bought two pieces of this vinyl fence post sleeve to make some under frame storage for my Casita travel trailer. One will be used for the sewer hose and the other one has not yet been designated. I wasn't sure how sturdy these sleeves would be but was very pleased at how rigid they felt when I got them. the wall thickness on them is one eighth inch thick. I used some uni-strut 1/4 inch all thread 3/4 inch aluminum square tubing and some aluminum flat bar to mount them under the trailer. I also purchased the end caps that go with the post sleeves and am very happy with how they mounted. I installed some rain gutter inside of the sleeves to act as kind of a drawer. I got the idea for this project from other RV owners who have done this and thought it was a great idea. Having used uni-strut ( two 30 inch pieces ) I will be able to add more tubes if needed with a minimum amount of effort.

        Met All My Expectations
        I used two of these as storage sleeves in an RV. One for a waste hose and one for a six foot folding ladder. They were perfect for my application.

        Sewer Hose Storage!
        Seriously - it's a PVC fencepost. Very solid - took me forever to saw through it by hand... because I turned it into an RV sewer hose carrier mounted to the back bumper of our 5th wheel :-) RV-specific hose carriers cost over $100; this cost me (plus 2 end caps) about $30. The 5" diameter easily accommodates the hose plus the bayonet ends. Most RV bumpers are designed to hold these hoses, but the inside of the bumper is rusty and rough and eventually causes worn spots and potential holes. Trust me - when you're dumping a blackwater tank - you do NOT want leaks!!! Due to its purpose in life, it's also not something you want to store inside the RV. The smooth PVC fencepost protects the all-important "Stinky Slinky". I drilled some air holes in the bottom to help it dry; and zip-tied it to the bumper. One end cap is glued on - the other is held in place with a screw eye so it can be removed. A short piece of cord connects the screw eye and cap to the carrier.

        Alternative uses, Cat Scratching Post
        We have two PVC Vinyl Fences surrounding our property. If my cats were outdoor cats, they would be walking them. That thought, combined with the ease of sterilizing and washing pvc, gave me the idea to convert this Fence post to a climbing and scratching post for cats. Standing upward, with a 4 inch square opening, it needs one bolt to secure it to a solid wood bookcase. It can be unbolted to be cleaned. The carpet on it can be replaced. The pvc is easy to cut, if you want to match the post height to a piece of furniture. Home Depot employees told me, when I told them what the post would become, people come to the store all the time to buy components to make their own cat scratching posts! Playtime, mama cat climbs this to the top in seconds, while her kids stretch on the bottom and scratch. Nearly time for a new carpet, replacement will be easy! This cleans more easily and has more uses than the sisal covered short wood post/condo that sits next to it.
