Abstract

A vinyl fence system for replacing an existing wood fence configured to be installed utilizing posts of the existing wood fence. The fence system includes vinyl post sleeves that are slipped over and cover the existing wood posts. The fence system also includes vinyl fence panels made of individual vinyl pickets connected along their lengths by connectors. The panels are configured to be locked together and surface mounted to the wood posts by fasteners, such as screws, passed through the vinyl fence panels and the vinyl sleeves and into the wood post. The fence panels configured to lock together using stiffeners positioned in horizontal rails located on the fence panels, with fasteners, such as screws, extending through the stiffeners, the rails, and into the boards of the panels. Decorative covers are utilized to cover joints and fasteners, and a top rail is located over the ends of the boards.
