These fence panels are fine. Easy to install and attractive and work to keep our dog off our new grass, but within a few weeks/months I noticed some rusty spots such as shown in my photo, which was disappointing. We were careful not to damage the coating during installation (or any other time). I also purchased the gate, which I will review separately, and it has fared worse, especially around the latch and the latching mechanism is falling apart in less than a year of use.
