I would recommend the steady Freddy fencing to customers who planned to have all 90 degree corners and no gates but would suggest looking for other solutions if installing gates. These are 4 times as expensive per linear foot than the regular fencing and I’ve had multiple issues. First the gates most be installed on level ground unlike the fencing itself and can’t adjust. This wouldn’t have been a problem if anyone had mentioned this before we’d pounded in all the posts for the entire fence as suggested by WamBam's instructions. This resulted in removing several poles and cutting them to prevent further mushrooming when pounding them back in. Then materials were missing from the package and had to be shipped to me over 5 days. When finally assembling the gate instructions included In the box were incorrect and had me use the wrong screws for various steps so I had to purchase more to finish. The top hinge has nothing to attach to other than the vinyl post. WamBam recommends buying a separate wheel (that they don’t sell or include) to help support the weight of this gate but is fine with you attaching a hinge to just vinyl. Overall, very disappointed that I spent $1000 extra to do a double 6’ gate to have this experience. If I’m paying a premium for a product, I expect it to deliver.


WamBam response: Hi Jacob. First, thank you for your honest feedback. I sympathize with your frustration and from what I have heard your project consultant Robert has worked hard to get you the replacement parts from delivery damage and additional screws quickly. No gate we sell is rackable. It's unusual to have a vinyl gate that is without individual customization. We do try out best to manage customer expectations to prevent install issues like this. Gate wheels need to be bought separately, it's one of the few items we do not offer. Despite your install frustrations here I do still want you to feel that you have purchased a quality product. Please reach out to us if you need anything further. You can ask for Jason.

It all went as planned thank you. Definitely not a job for the faint hearted!
Due to my unique project, it required some engineering thinking. Things I wish were different:
if you sold gates 36" or 48" with flat tops. Since I was on concrete there were parts I didn't need the ground anchoring system along with unused gate parts that I wish I could return. 2inch screws for hinge posts could be a little longer 3inch perhaps.

The diagonal support bar from. corner to corner has two nuts and bolts that could be drilled to not face inward toward the vinyl board and push the bar away from it. Perhaps the columns could have base covers for a concrete application, much like pergolas do.

Overall I'm happy with the outcome and privacy the gates offer!
