4ft H Edgewood Composite Privacy Fence Panel (Slate Grey)
Edgewood 4ft Privacy Fence

Before You Begin

  • If installing in-ground, call 811 before you drive pipe to check for underground utilities.
  • If installing surface mounted, refer to your Surface Mount install guide (BL19131/BL19132) for specific instructions instead of the steps below.
  • Build one full panel first — there is a learning curve. After one panel is installed, it is most efficient to drive all remaining pipes, then build panels onto the posts.
  • If your yard slope exceeds 3–4" per 6' panel, you will need to split your panel and purchase an extra post and set of brackets.
  • This panel does not include posts. See the Post section below to order the correct post kit separately for every post position in your run.

Returns: Please let us help resolve any issues before initiating a return. If a return is still necessary, it must be initiated with the retailer where the product was purchased.

Post: BL19127/BL19128

Posts are sold separately — no posts come with this panel

You will need one 4' H Post (1 pack) or (4 pack) for every post position along your fence run. Unlike other WamBam panels, this panel's box does not include a post/anchor kit — order enough to cover your full run before you begin.

Post Pounder Considerations

Pounders can be purchased/rented at your local hardware store, or on our website.

Good

Good: Sledgehammer 10-15 lbs Sledgehammer
10–15 lbs.
A basic option for very small projects. Requires two people to keep pipes level during installation.

Tip: Don't use a 5lb sledgehammer — it won't generate enough force to be effective, and driving the pipe turns into a slow, frustrating grind.

Better

Better: Manual post pounder Manual Post Pounder
12–30 lbs.
Best for projects with fewer than 10 pipes. Available at your local hardware store.

Best

Best: Gas Powered Post Pounder Gas Powered Post Pounder
Rentals are ideal for larger projects. Significantly reduces time and effort required.

Note: Choose a post pounder with a barrel diameter of 3" or greater. Pounder barrel cannot be longer than 24in. Pounder must have 3 inch or greater barrel diameter

Install Methods

Option A

In Ground

Build one full panel first — there is a learning curve. After one panel is installed, it is most efficient to drive all remaining pipes, then build panels onto the posts.

In-ground vs. surface-mounted install options

Option B

Surface Mounted

Before you begin, refer to your Surface Mount install guide (BL19131/BL19132) for specific install instructions.

Surface Mounted

Step 1: Determine Slope

Check your yard's slope before you begin — this determines whether you need additional posts.

Note: If slope is greater than 3–4" per 6' panel, you will need to split your panel and purchase an extra post and set of brackets.

Under 4 inch slope per 6ft panel: no extra posts required

Over 4 inch slope per 6ft panel: split the panel

Step 2: Set Stringline

Place the two stakes for each end of every fence run and tie string between the stakes. Your pipes will be driven according to this line.

Step 3: Mark Pipe Locations

Use loose stakes or mark the ground every 72" to determine exact pipe locations, measuring center-to-center.

Mark pipe locations every 72 inches center to center

Step 4: Tighten Donuts

Parts Required

P2 x1

Warning: Before you install your fence, ensure your donuts are tightened. Do not overtighten.

Step 5: Install Pipes

Parts Required

P2 x1

Drive your pipe into the ground. Check for level roughly every 6". To help maintain level, pound the pipe equally from all four sides until the lower gear touches the ground. Check that the pipe is level front-to-back and left-to-right. Center of pipe to center of pipe: 72".

Drive pipe into ground, check level every 6 inches

Step 6: Install Posts

Parts Required

P3 x1

Place your post over your pipe.

Step 7a: Level Brackets on a Slope

Parts Required

A x1 B x2

If your posts are on flat ground, proceed to Step 7b.

If your ground is sloped, identify the post that is on higher ground. Secure your bracket (A) as close to the ground as possible against the higher post. Use your rail to ensure the bracket on the lower elevation post is level with the first bracket.

Secure bracket against higher post on sloped ground

Step 7b: Install the First Bracket

Parts Required

A x1 B x2

Set your bracket (A) within the grooves on your post. Measure 2" from the ground and mark your first post — or stack your two brackets together to mark it instead. Secure the bracket with two ½" hex screws (B) from your panel box using the included hex bit.

Secure first bracket 2 inches from the ground

Step 8: Mark the Second Bracket

Parts Required

A x1 E x1

Without driving screws, place a rail bracket (A) over the bottom rail (E). Using a level, mark the location of the second bracket, then remove the rail.

Step 9: Install the Second Bracket

Parts Required

A x1 B x2

Install the bracket (A) to the post at your marked location using two ½" hex screws (B).

Step 10: Install the Bottom Rail

Parts Required

E x1 B x4

Secure the bottom rail (E) into both brackets using four ½" hex screws (B).

Step 11: Attach the C-Channels

Parts Required

D x2 C x6

Important: Before this step, swap out the hex head drill bit for the Phillips bit included in the bag for Part (C). Keep the hex bit close — you'll resume using it shortly.

Swap the hex bit for the Phillips bit

Align your C-Channel (D) over your bottom bracket. Secure each C-Channel with three ½" self-drilling Phillips screws (C) (six total). The Phillips screws are self-drilling and can drive through aluminum with light pressure; a drill bit is also included in the screw bag for Part (C).

C channel alignment and install

Step 12: Install the Top Brackets

Parts Required

A x2 B x4

Align your top brackets (A) over your C-Channels and secure with four ½" hex screws (B).

Align and secure top brackets

Step 13: Insert the Boards

Parts Required

F x3 G x1

Install your three tall privacy boards (F) by sliding them down through your top bracket and C-Channel. Then slide the short privacy board (G) down until it interlocks with the other privacy boards. Ensure the notch is facing upward.

Note: Posts may need to be pushed out slightly at the top to insert the boards.

Slide tall and short boards down through C-Channel

Step 14: Install the Top Rail

Parts Required

E x1 B x4

Ensure the rail goes to the back of the bracket. Apply downward force and secure the top rail (E) with four ½" hex screws (B).

Secure top rail into brackets with hex screws

Step 15: Add the Post Caps

Parts Required

P1 x1

If needed, trim your posts with a fine-tooth blade, then place post caps (P1) on the posts to finish your panel.

Trim posts if needed and press on post caps
