I can't praise this fence enough. We loved the fact that we didn't have to set the posts in cement. When our order arrived some of the pieces were damaged in shipping. We just called the company and they sent out replacements in just a few days. They were great to work with. The vinyl posts slide over metal posts that you drive into the ground. We have received so many compliments from our neighbors. I searched online for vinyl fencing, this was by far the less expensive of them all. I highly recommend this fencing.
