I have a 4' high scalloped vinyl picket fence that I need to cover. Will this sag if I attach it to the posts (posts are approximately 8 feet apart)?

Any of these tarps will be tight if you pull it and strap it (zip tie) tight enough. I had posts that didn't meet up with grommets but with a little persistence I figured it out and it has stayed straight all summer.

Ours is on a chain link fence. It is attached with zip ties at the top rail and the bottom rail. We have had it up for about five months and have had no trouble with it sagging. If you can attach it at the top and bottom it should work well.

No it should not sag. I hung it on a fence with posts approx. that far apart. If for some reason you have a problem you could always run a wire across the top in the green to keep it straight.

I would think that it would. When I attached mine, I used zip ties every foot or so. and attached it to the bottom as well, so the wind wouldn't blow it up. It's been up about a year now and is weathering nicely. You could probably put a zip tie into the grommet holes and then use a heavy duty staple gun and secure it that way. (I'm from Texas, I don't know what "can't" means, tee hee. Hope my suggestions help you.

It will probably sag because it is not stiff enough. It is designed to be attached about every two feet. It stays pretty straight if it is pulled tight every 2 feet.

Most likely. You would be best to attach to pickets or fence frames top and bottom.

to be honest, i don't know... i guess it would depend on the spacing of the support poles, and how taut you have the fencing material... sorry i can't be more helpful...

Yes they will fit a 4 x 4 vinyl fence post. The only thing I had to do was to drill holes in the posts to attach them. But they fit perfectly.

Yes, absolutely - otherwise it will be wobbly.It put mine up years ago and the post is still sturdy. The slow plow has taken out the cross arm and mailbox, but the post remains secure. I bought a second kit to get a new cross arm. The new post cover part is still in the box in my garage rafters, just in case.

Think about it....if you bought an 8 foot section and folded it, you will not have the grommets on one side to fasten to the fence. If privacy is a concern, there are darker screens you can purchase. Otherwise, you can purchase two 4 foot sections to overlap.

Yes I think it would. It is pretty strong. I think as long as you don't have too long of spaces between the fence posts it should be all right. You may want to double it up too make it stronger. Hope this helps. Have only used ours as a cover for berries to keep birds and squirrels out.

I honestly can't remember, I am currently using it for our patio door. The poles span about 80 inches, with the two outer poles touching in the middle and there is no sagging even after my 3 year old was hanging on the curtain. One of the brackets bent slightly but I was able to force it back into a level position. Try contacting the retailer to be sure. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Should be ok. I've installed 8 ft tall 4x4 fence posts on top of railroad ties (actually bridge timber) using these. But it really depends on what you're building. If this is a fence where you'll have lateral support with 2x4 or other material, then you're ok.

Yes, but you will need longer screws. I have mine mounted on 4X4 fence post. I use stainless steel screws instead of the one that came with the pole. Good luck to you. YY

I had to cut a piece of 5" square Vinyl fence post cut to 7" in length and attached it over the wooden 4 x 4 wooden post and secured it with 4 stainless screws then slid the entire mail box over the post till it bottomed out on the Vinyl post then attached the bolts furnished with the mail box. My height is 52- 55" to the bottom of the mail box door. to meet my postal height regulations. Hope this helps. Roland Verrone

This product will definitely sag. I would use some type of steel cable instead if you don't want it to sag.

I did not set posts. I built an arched frame over a trampoline and used it as a shade cover in that manner. I will tell you that the corners do hang out further than the center of the shade cloth and there is some stretch to the material in and of itself.Whatever the measurement is , I would allow an extra six inches in the pole settings and buy at least two adjustable straps to mount it with. You might want to check out Harbor Frieght. Also, a slight pitch will help you get leaves, etc off the top of the shade in a much more easy manner than a flat top. Good luck.

I don't think it will fit. My posts are exactly 4" and the fitting is very snug.

I attached mine to a 2" x 10' PVC pipe (cut to 9.5') . No sag. I store it in a 4' x 10' Pvc pipe with end caps.

The actual roll of fencing material is 3 feet high, and we installed it on posts that were slightly lower than that. As a result, there is some pooling of the fencing material on the ground, which helps discourage intrusions from below.

We also put ours on a 6 foot tall fence post. But, I don't know why this pole wouldn't work. Good luck

I got this for my father but off the top of my husbands head, he doesn't think it would work a 4" post. I will find out what my father thine though!
