$15k fence has problems ๐Ÿ‘Ž Luckily the proper fix isnโ€™t too difficult ๐Ÿ‘ #fence #build #carpentry

What happens here

To correct the identified gaps and secure the fence panels, a specific remediation process is required, as described in the video. You will need to start at one end of the fence section affected by the gaps. Systematically push all the top rails of the fence panels over. This action should "undo the tabs" that typically hold the panels in place within the posts. Once the tabs are undone, you can pull out the individual pickets or panels to allow for proper realignment. After disassembling a section, you will then push the vinyl piece that is supposed to be against the post firmly into position, ensuring it is flush. The video states this piece then "gets screwed." This implies using appropriate fasteners to secure the re-aligned vinyl piece to the fence post, preventing future gaps and rattling. Repeat this process for all affected panels along the fence line, working methodically from one end to the other to ensure a tight fit for each panel.

Goal: Prepare for and perform the re-alignment and securing of fence panels to posts.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill โ€” To drive screws for securing vinyl pieces to posts (implied by 'gets screwed')
  • Exterior-grade Screws โ€” Securing the vinyl pieces flush against the fence posts (implied by 'gets screwed')
  • Hands N/A โ€” Pushing top rails and pulling pickets during disassembly and reassembly

What they say

Hide

post and it gets screwed. So, when the wind blows, it doesn't sit here and rattle and this doesn't come back and then you have these gaps down the entire fence line. To fix this, you likely have to start at the very end of the fence, push all the tops over so you can undo the tabs and then pull all these pickets out so you can push this against here and then screw it in.
