How do you install vinyl fencing at angles other than 90 degrees?

Question

I need to put a panel up at an angle greater than 90 degrees. As far as I know, there are no such kits available. I bought the fencing from Home Depot and they tried to give me some joist hangers and told me to bend them?? Any suggestions welcome.

Answer 1

There are several ways you can do this...besides bending some joist hangers, hehehe... Not knowing your comfort level with power tools, or what kind you have access to, here are 3 fairly easy methods of creating just about any angle you need for fencing.

First trick that comes to mind, is to shave the corner post to the angle you need. (Tablesaw, circular saw, or reciprocating saw)

Second trick is to 'build' a corner post to the angle you need...this is particularly handy, if you have a very large angle. (Tablesaw, and miter saw) You would want to use treated lumber, prime it with a good oild base primer (Kilz would work well), and then paint it to match... you would also want to 'cap' your post.

Third trick is to cut the vinyl rails at the angle you need (and the steel support, if any), and apply trim to help cover any gaps. This one will work, if you do not have to go too much farther than 90 degrees. (Recriprocating saw, and miter saw)

Good Luck!

Answer 2

cos (60) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse It's know that a triangle with sides: Adjacent = 1 Opposite = sqrt(3) Hypotenuse = 2 has a 60 degree angle So, cos (60) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse cos (60) = 1 / 2
