Tobin does a fantastic job installing his vinyl WamBam Fence<\/p><\/div>\n

Denise, Lisa, CJ, et al,<\/p>\n

I completed the fencing project of about 200-feet of Plain Jane vinyl fence in three sections with two gates over the last two weekends by myself. \u00a0It has been over 20-years since I worked on a fence, so this one was a bit\u00a0different. \u00a0Not hard, just\u00a0different in a good way with my neighbors being amazed at the swift progress and professional appearance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

With a view like that, we'd like to share a beverage with you on that porch! Oh, and the mountains are nice, too.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I thought I would share some thoughts and pictures with you and the other “Wam-Bammers”.<\/p>\n

When things got real ugly:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bent tip LOCKED the post in the wrong position and height such that would NOT move up or down or even twist-around with a 36′ pipe wrench. \u00a0After an hour or two I dug down through the “hard pan” to almost the base, but then exhaustion turned into innovation. \u00a0I used a compression fitting to adapt a water hose to the 1.25″ OD Wam Bam steel post and literally “hosed it out” after pounding\/loosening the dirt plug out. \u00a0 This might work as well to water-dig a hole (messy though).<\/p>\n

A quick tip when close to another fence\/wall and the steel post\u00a0inevitably\u00a0leans the wrong way. \u00a0Although counter-intuitive, bend it to you a bit more, but then twist it around 180-degrees with a pipe wrench. \u00a0Be care full to have the lower yellow anchor already in place because the pipe wrench will burr the steel post, (and watch your hands as well).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Looks great!<\/p><\/div>\n

When things got way pretty:<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the remainder of the pics show, the three sides and two gates look and work great. \u00a0We used the Plain Jane for continuity with with our existing rear porch deck railings. \u00a0We also think the 4-foot height and\u00a0open rails are\u00a0more\u00a0neighborly than a 6-foot solid panel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Someone has a green thumb<\/p><\/div>\n

Other stuff:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The gate on a 45-degree angle looks and works great since I used the hinges to obviate the whole angle issue. \u00a0However, I had to use an old (it was in the bottom of one of my tool boxes for 20+ years waiting for its moment…) wood gate latch that I could reverse. \u00a0The Wam Bam latch was not\u00a0reversible\u00a0– being either upside down or with the handle tang backwards.<\/p>\n

I have a 4-pack set of the posts leftover. \u00a0Maybe some day I will enclose the entire side yard and around the front as well. \u00a0The mini-wiener\u00a0dogs vote YES, but the “SheFO” votes NO and I am apparently a laborer with no votes.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading, peeking at pics. \u00a0Please let me know if I have a shot at the $100 contest, (but don’t mention that possibility to Sheila).<\/p>\n

Tobin from\u00a0Winnemucca, NV<\/p>\n

"Hey, what's with this fence? Now we can't roam the neighborhood anymore!"<\/p><\/div>\n

Tobin also gave us a rave review on Homedepot.com (where he purchased his fence):<\/p>\n

I wanted to try this product because of the innovative approach. I was NOT disapointed! Everything arrived OK and the instructions were great. Their website and news letter were done first rate and fun to read. This fence panel – along with the rest of their gates, posts, etc, were thought out as a full product line – not simply copied in the cheapest manner as some products are.<\/em>
\nYou still need to think about how to lay it out, but if you make an error – you can actually back up and it all works out OK.<\/em>
\n 
\nThanks Tobin, for being such a great customer and for taking the time to share your experience!
\n 
\nPS We vote “YES” to enclosing more of your property with a WamBam fence! And yes, you definitely have a shot at the contest!<\/p>\n
