Customer Reviews for Vigoro Rockdale 43.8 in. Black Steel Fence Panel (3-Pack)

I would recommend because it goes with the related fence, but it does come off the hinges easily. I just put it back on.

We bought this to put around our a/c unit to keep the dog away. It was easy to put together and looks very nice.

Easy to install and holds up to the dog leaning on it. Great purchase.

We just purchased our home a few months ago. I was looking for a fence that would look good in front of my home and also keep the deers from eating my flowers/plants. Living in a seniors development we are limited to what we can put up on our property. When we first started putting it up we needed to come up with an idea how to make a piece of the fence a gate after a few ideas we came up with one. We needed a gate for the entrance of our home. Even when it is opened during the day it looks great. It is not a heavy looking fence it is very nice to look at. I do get a lot of complaints from my neighbors or when anyone is passing by just out for a walk.

Nice finishing touch. Easy to install even though there are no instructions. Wish the store had carried it in stock instead of ordering the product. This delayed the project.

Perfect fencing to keep my 17lb dog in the yard. Just wish the gates weren’t on back order.

I purchased 13 3-packs to go along my lot lines (the new build next door encroached on) and so far have installed 3 2/3 (11 panels) as I used 2 panels independently to secure a side yard gate. These are great, work well for my needs and once I got the hang of it (how to determine where to hammer in the stake) they were relatively easy to put in. The hard part is aligning the stakes so everything fits right and placing the connecting pegs in the applicable connecting rod tubes. I put these in myself (65 yo woman) and plan to put in another 90 ft along my other side yard (30 panels). I just purchased a matching gate online and even though it was very difficult to get all the stakes aligned, the connecting rods lined up with the connecting tubes from a multitude of stakes and posts, now that it's up and secure it looks great! And serves my purpose well. I bought this because I got extremely high bids for regular fencing then Outrageously high bids (from a Home Depot contractor) for just welded wire and t-posts, which prompted me to do this myself. I'm hurrying to get it done before the Texas heat kicks in, in order to give my fur-babies a safe place to be, off the leash and away from the road.

This gate seems pretty simplistic however there are no instructions to tell you what the 2 U hooks are for so I deemed them redundant. The installation process IS simplistic however as one 65 yo woman working alone found, it is extremely difficult to get one stake aligned with the adjoining stake and positioning the top and bottom insertable pegs to join the panels PLUS align with the stake in the ground, Alignment is a feat in itself. Simplistic? Yes..Easy? No! If you have a good-natured partner helping you it might be easier aligning and inserting the pegs. If your partner is not good-natured you will end up brawling on the lawn because the top peg and the bottom peg won't go into the slots together as well as being inserted into the stake in the ground at the same time!! 3 pegs aligned to insert into 3 holes together...does not an easy task make. BUT..it Is doable. Make sure you have a rubber mallet ready to 'reposition' everything accordingly. I've installed 11 of these fence panels and this gate was the hardest one yet to do as there are multiple posts and stakes that need to be positioned perfectly to get them to link together. Luckily my ground was soft, but after making multiple holes where the stakes needed to be in order to adjoin the panels I might have to follow up with Quikcrete. Uneven ground? Don't even think about it. I've got pet panels that can be adjusted to accommodate that. I think this fence and gate is great, it is complimentary to my home, the residential neighbors like it and it met my need to define my property line when the new build next door encroached on that.

This fencing was perfect size to keep the pets out of the garden,made very strong and sturdy very easy to install and nice look to it.it doesn't look cheap.

i needed something that was easy to install to keep our new puppy in the yard. It works great!

Well made, sturdy but light and graceful, easy to put up. I couldn't afford to do the whole garden in steel fencing this summer, so used this gate to provide access to garden otherwise surrounded by post-and-poultry netting fence. Gate is pretty stable by itself, but zip-tied it to garden posts to provide extra continuity. Since the garden area slopes slightly from left to right, I could put one half of the gate a little bit lower than the other to level them out without the problem I might have had with a one-piece gate. Not clear from description, but the slender pins slide down the closing edge of each gate half and can pin the gate shut by pushing them into the ground. Makes the garden easy to get into, but also easily secured against the rabbits, squirrels and skunks in our area, well worthwhile!

Perfect for keeping my small dogs in the backyard!

We bought 3 of these for fencing for a garden chicken run. We already had 4 we use for gates in various areas we want to block dogs, goats and horses. They're very pretty. I can tell you they do stand up to time and weather as we've had them for several years now. Would definitely recommend

These look very pretty. I used them to create a small area for a dog pen. Very easy to assemble, actually going to buy one more set to make the pen bigger. So far, So good.

It would have been helpful if instructions indicate to only using one post if making square corners, a lot easier to post and hold sections that way.

I needed a new fence for my vegetable garden, but I didn't want to dig post holes and pour concrete. So these were perfect. I suspect they may not be tall enough to keep out the deer, but they never got into my garden before so I'm hoping they don't try now. With a bit of forethought, planning, measuring and staking/stringing out the plan, it went together easier than I had expected based on some of the reviews. I placed 20 sections by myself around my 12x18 foot garden. It took some time and patience, but it wasn't hard. Some lessons learned: - I failed to ensure they were level vertically, so one side leans outward a little. I plan to reinforce some sections of fence with a metal fence post to make sure the longer sides are sturdy. - the stakes that are driven into the ground, over which the fence panels are placed, have two fins at right angles on them. Give some forethought as to which direction those are facing. When adding the aforementioned metal fence posts (as an afterthought), I couldn't add them at the fence joints because these fins were in the way. - because I needed a gate to get into the enclosed garden, I left one panel unconnected and unstaked on one side so that it can be swung open. Still looking for a good/easy way to secure the gate closed. This last fence panel is about 1 inch off from meeting up with the first panel, so my measurements/planning were not exact enough. But because I've left the last panel unconnected, it's not that big of an issue. - I made the mistake of starting at a corner, rather than starting where I wanted the gate to be. So the last panel I put in was a bit harder because the first panel had to be pulled up to fit the last panel under it. I recommend starting right where you want the gate to be, and then proceeding in the direction where the next fence panel can be placed down into the previous one. Just waiting for this cold weather to end to start with the planting.

When we built our new home we purchased 15 of these to keep our small dog in our yard while we worked on landscaping. This was suppose to be temporary, but we've had them up for a year now and still working great....even survived last years' snowmagedon, 50 mile an hour winds and hot summer sun! This spring we will be adding sod and other landscaping and will be adding more of these fences to our back yard and garden to keep out bunnies and other little critters. Easy to install, anchors well into the ground, heavy weight metal, and decorative. Worth the money we paid.

Nice. Seems well-made so far. I enclosed the grassy portion of our front yard as the dogs' urine was causing too many burn marks in the grass. It's a little taller than I expected, but that's a personal preference - not something included in reviewing the product. Panels are sturdy and solid. An improvement I'd like to see is a gate option. Since I used these to enclose a yard, I don't have a gate to enter into the yard. I just had to leave two panel unattached to one another so I can swing it open to enter the yard. Other than that, it's a great decorative fencing.

It is very pretty - our yard looks prettier with the fence in. We can now let our dogs out the back door without leashes. But it was harder to install than I had anticipated - and it didn't have to be. Each section hooks onto the last and it would have been easier if you could do that step -and THEN pound in the stake. But you couldn't pound the stake in from above. So it was a bit fussy to install. The job took just a few hours. Now that it's done I'm very happy with it.

Easy to install, durable keeps the pup in the yard.

Item perfor as described

I like the looks but wish that it was more substantial. Not bad for the price

The fence is very nice around my vegetable garden. So far, it has kept the groundhog that was eating my plants. I did find it a little difficult to put the fence up by myself.

It isn’t too sturdy but guess you get what you pay for.

Love this fence. Installed last year but could not find the gate. This year was able to get gate..... The fence and gate were both easy install. The only.potential prob would be if the ground is uneven or you hit rock when installing. The gate works great and was the finishing touch. Gives it aprof look. I get a steady.flow on compliments on this fence. Highly recommend.
