- Measuring Tape
- Marker or Pencil
- Safety Gloves (recommended)
- Safety Glasses (recommended)
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Area: Clear the installation area of any debris, rocks, or vegetation. Ensure the ground is relatively level.
- Assemble Panels: Begin by assembling the horizontal and vertical PVC strip panels. Slide the horizontal strips into the grooves of the vertical posts. Ensure they are securely fitted.
- Install Protective Top Covers: Once the panels are assembled, install the protective top covers onto the posts. These caps help prevent water accumulation and enhance the fence's appearance.
- Position Ground Stakes: Use the provided Ground Stake Positioning Board to mark the exact locations for the metal ground stakes. Place the board on the ground where the fence will be installed, aligning it with the desired fence line. Mark the stake positions as indicated on the board.
- Insert Metal Stakes: Carefully hammer the galvanized metal ground stakes into the marked positions. Ensure the stakes are driven deep enough (approximately 19.7 inches) into the soft ground (soil, gravel, or sand) for maximum stability.
- Attach Posts to Stakes: Once the stakes are in place, insert the bottom of the fence posts onto the metal stakes. The posts are designed to fit snugly over the stakes, providing a secure connection.
- Secure Connecting Pieces: Use the provided connecting pieces and screws to join multiple fence panels together if you are creating a longer or corner enclosure.

4. Operating Instructions
The VEVOR privacy fence panels are designed for passive use as a privacy screen or enclosure. Once properly installed, no further 'operation' is required. Ensure the panels are securely anchored and regularly check for stability, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and longevity of your VEVOR privacy fence panels.
- Cleaning: The smooth PVC surface repels dust and stains. Clean the panels periodically with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the fence for any signs of damage, loose connections, or shifting stakes. Re-secure any loose components as needed.
- Drainage: The umbrella-shaped protective caps are designed to reduce water accumulation. Ensure that water drains properly around the base of the posts to prevent soil erosion or pooling.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your privacy fence panels.
Common Issues:
- Fence is unstable:
- Ensure ground stakes are driven deep enough (19.7 inches) into the ground.
- Verify that the posts are securely fitted onto the metal stakes.
- Check if the ground type is suitable (soft soil, gravel, or sand). If installed in hard ground, stakes may not be fully inserted.
- Panels appear misaligned:
- Recheck the alignment of the ground stakes using the positioning board.
- Ensure horizontal strips are fully seated in the vertical post grooves.
- Difficulty inserting stakes:
- Ensure the ground is soft enough. If the ground is too hard, consider moistening the soil or selecting an alternative location.
- Use a hammer or mallet to drive the stakes, ensuring even force.
