I’m ordering a bunch of fence panels, gates and posts. Can I have my posts shipped separately in advance of the remainder of my order? Is there any disadvantage to doing this?

This is never done. First, if you want your posts shipped separately you will incur a separate (additional) shipping fee at extra cost. Second, splitting your fence panel / gate / post order into 2 orders will not speed up your order in any way.

If you’re interested in preparing for your install in advance of receiving your products, we recommend reviewing: a) the On-Center Spacing Chart, and b) the installation manual.
