so incredibly simple to install even for someone who is NOT handy. (i am extremely handy though and i was so pleased at the ease of putting it together.) you don’t need anything tool wise other than a rubber mallet BUT you could get away with a regular hammer though i recommend against that. first drive the stakes into the ground, measure with a very cool paper marker that comes with the fence, literally slide the posts over and then one by one gently drop the planks horizontally between. i am not kidding - no cement, none of the tedious stuff. given the easy set up, removal is also just as simple. this fence really looks gorgeous and is the perfect touch to my yard and hiding those FUGLY trash cans! i cannot wait to get more. and then i might start finding excuses to get more after that, too.
