For a 6' vinyl (i.e. light) fence, it's probably just fine in the humid summer of NY, not so much in arid Arizona... I find your comment about removing the concrete interesting and encouraging - I've got a post or two that are splitting and I've considered replacing them, but didn't want to deal with the concrete. Sounds like it won't be that bad! | |
