Part 1 of 3 in our MythBusters Series!<\/p><\/div>\n

This statement \u00a0below was actually\u00a0brought to our attention by a customer who called us and said, \u201cI noticed this on another website and that\u2019s how I became interested in the no-dig solution. I thought there must be something to this if someone is attacking it so\u00a0publicly?\u201d<\/p>\n

“There are some vinyl fencing companies claiming they are digless vinyl fence systems – do they work?<\/strong><\/em>
\n Well – some companies think you can just pound (or “bam”) a round metal post in the ground and attach a vinyl post to it and like magic you are done sipping a cold drink enjoying your new cheap Chinese Fence (yes – they don’t advertise the made in China…). Not true at all – this is a gimmick, we feel it is faster to dig the holes, with all of the work screwing in each rail with multiple screws (weak connection), steel posts (not stainless…) and leveling, you have the same amount of time installing our much higher quality fence. From our experience these Chinese systems are weak (no metal insert in the bottom rail), do not save installation time (only 7′ wide), AND are almost impossible to to keep straight and level. Also, the 4 grooves in the posts collect dirt and insects and really are not aesthetically pleasing. What is the old saying – you can’t cut corners for quality – remember, our American Made vinyl fencing will last a lifetime, so do not fall for the gimmicks of a quick installation. Nobody honestly thinks a fence post with absolutely no concrete around them will last a lifetime, well we know they will not….”<\/em><\/p>\n

Firstly, in the spirit of WamBam we thought it would be both appropriate and fun to respond to this \u00a0by asking you to ask yourself some questions. You’re intelligent, so all joking aside, if the no-dig installation method is a gimmick:<\/p>\n

1. Why would customers who installed vinyl fence the no-dig way almost 20 years ago still be raving on about it?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
