No Dig Vinyl Fence Mounting Bracket & Stiffeners
Installing a vinyl fence system is already a relatively easy project, though Vinyl Fence Fittings offers products and installation methods that make the process much easier and will extend the life of your vinyl fence. The No Dig installation method for vinyl fencing requires steel posts to be set in place for the vinyl post to fit over, eliminating the need to set vinyl in concrete. However, there will be space between the steel post and the vinyl surrounding it, which makes the vinyl vulnerable to the effects of nature. Without stabilization, the vinyl is subjected to much more movement and thus breakage.
Heavy-Duty EZ Set Vinyl Fence Post Mounting Brackets
To extend the life of your vinyl fencing system, Vinyl Fence Fittings offers Heavy-Duty EZ Set Vinyl Fence Post Mounting Brackets. These brackets are often also referred to as Post Stiffeners or EZ Set Post Donuts. The bracket fits eternally to the steel post and internally to the vinyl post, meaning it fills the gap between the post and the vinyl and stabilizes the entire fence system.
Typically, two brackets are needed per post, one near the bottom and another near the top. These brackets include the bolt, nut, and washers. Mounting brackets are available in various sizes and for round or square steel posts, making it easy to convert an existing fence to a vinyl fence system.
EZ Set Brackets
Another option to stabilize your no-dig vinyl fence system is the EZ Set Brackets. These are installed similarly to the Heavy-Duty EZ Set Vinyl Fence Post Mounting Brackets however, they are made of aluminum rather than heavy-duty plastic, are strictly for round posts, come as a set, and include a few more pieces of hardware with more assembly required. These are available as a set, as two are needed per post, and are also a great stabilizer of posts for no-dig vinyl fence systems.
Which Is Better?
Neither is necessarily better than the other. Both products are great options and will stabilize your vinyl fence system as it should. The Heavy-Duty EZ Set Vinyl Fence Post Mounting Brackets are offered in more options, and while the EZ Set Brackets are offered in a pair, they are a bit pricier. The choice is up to you.
