Sturbridge No-Dig Vinyl Fence

• Call 811 before you dig to check for underground utilities.
• Build one complete panel first, then drive all remaining pipes, attach posts, and build out from there.
• If your yard slope exceeds 3–4" per 6', split your panels and add an extra post and brackets.
• Install the top rail at least 48" above ground to conform with most pool codes — always check your local regulations, as requirements may vary.

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.

Our US-based customer service team is available Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm EST.

For faster service, have your item number (BL19103) and part name ready. A batch lot number (found on the end of the box) is also helpful if available — it helps us identify and resolve any production issues on our end.

Your panel comes with 1 post/anchor kit. You will need 1 BL19042 to finish the fence run.

If you are installing a gate, you will need two finishing posts — one to finish the run, and one to support the gate. See next diagram for help visualizing.

Start with one full panel — it's the best way to learn the process and confirm your spacing before committing. Once the first panel is complete and verified, drive your next pipe anchor and build each remaining panel one at a time.

Important: Call 811 before you start driving your pipes!

Hammer a stake at each end of every fence run, then tie string between the stakes. This line keeps your pipes aligned as you drive them. Need help? Watch this video!

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

For a slope of less than 4" per 6' panel, no extra posts are needed. You can trim the top of the post to follow the grade once your panel is built.

For a slope greater than 4" per 6' panel, you will need to split your panel. Purchase an additional post and set of brackets before continuing.

Mark the ground every 72" to determine exact pipe locations, measuring center-to-center.

Parts Required

A x1

Before driving your pipes, remove the top donut from Pipe Anchor (A) by pulling the tabs to unlock and lifting the outer donut free. Need help? Watch our leveling donut video.

Parts Required

A x1

Drive Pipe Anchor (A) into the ground at each marked location, checking for level roughly every 6". To stay level, pound equally from all four sides. Continue until the lower gear touches the ground. Remember: center-to-center spacing must be 72".

With all pipes in the ground, reinstall the outer donut onto each Pipe Anchor (A) one at a time. Check each pipe for level. If a pipe is slightly off, pull the donut tabs outward and rotate the donut to shift its position and compensate. Refer to the donut levelling video for help.

Parts Required

B x1

Slide Post (B) down over Pipe Anchor (A). On flat ground, bury the post 3–4" to avoid a floating look.

Installing at a non-standard angle? Watch our angle bracket guide before placing your brackets.

Parts Required

C x1 G x4

On your first post, measure 2" up from the bottom of the post and 1⅛" from the front edge. Mark this position, then align Bracket (C) to your mark and secure it using four Screws (G). This is your bottom rail bracket.

Parts Required

D x1 C x1

Cap one end of Horizontal Rail (D) with a loose Bracket (C). Rest the other end in your installed bracket, level the rail, and mark the position of the loose bracket on your second post. Remove the rail — this mark is where you'll secure your second bracket.

Parts Required

G x4

Using the mark you made in Step 9, align Bracket (C) on the second post and secure it with four Screws (G).

Parts Required

D x1 G x4

Slide the bottom Horizontal Rail (D) into both brackets. Once seated, secure the rail to each bracket using four Screws (G) — two per bracket side.

Parts Required

C x1 G x4

On your first post, measure 41½" up from the top of the bottom rail and mark the position. Align Bracket (C) to your mark and secure it to the post using four Screws (G). This is your top rail bracket.

Parts Required

D x1 C x1

Cap one end of remaining Horizontal Rail (D) with a loose Bracket (C). Rest the other end in your installed bracket, level the rail, and mark the position of the loose bracket on your second post. Remove the rail — this mark is where you'll secure your second bracket.

Parts Required

C x1 G x4

Using the mark you made in Step 13, align Bracket (C) on the second post and secure it with four Screws (G).

Parts Required

E x6 F x5

Drop the pickets into the slots in the bottom Horizontal Rail (D), alternating between Thin Pickets (E) and Wide Pickets (F). Push each picket fully down until it sits flush against the bottom of the rail slot. Do not secure the top rail yet.

Parts Required

D x1 G x4

Starting at one end, align the first picket with its corresponding hole in the top Horizontal Rail (D). Walk the rail down over the remaining pickets one at a time, feeding each picket into its hole as you go. Once all pickets are seated, slide both ends of the rail into the top brackets and secure with four Screws (G).

Parts Required

H x1

If your posts extend above the top rail, trim them down to the desired height. Press Post Caps (H) firmly onto the top of each post until they are fully seated.
