Of the thousands of orders we\u2019ve sold, roughly 90% to 95% of those were regular homeowners who decided to go the DIY route and tackle the fence and\/ or gate installation on their own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those beautiful photos all over our website and in our Knowledge Center Photo Gallery? Almost all of them are from DIY homeowners that did the fence or gate installation themselves and were so proud of the outcome that they sent us pictures of their fence installation project. And we love getting them sent in too!\u00a0 Its always rewarding for us to start off with a person maybe a little nervous about installing the fence or gate on their own and end up with photos showing what an awesome job they did.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, you may be worried that all these DIY homeowners that tackled the installation on their own were the \u201cBob Vila type\u201d that this kind of thing came naturally to.\u00a0 Sure, we had some of those folks, but a large majority were average folks with average skills.\u00a0 Maybe they had done some landscaping at their house.\u00a0 Or tackled a kitchen renovation.\u00a0 Or even bravely took on a piece of dreaded Ikea furniture and got it assembled with no parts left at the end.\u00a0 Wherever you fall in that spectrum, you are more than qualified to tackle installing your own iron or aluminum fence with the right planning and patience.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are probably asking yourself how this could be so easy to do.\u00a0 Don\u2019t I need a professional installer?\u00a0 Not really.\u00a0 Making it easy to install starts with a good set of step-by-step instructions.
