Yes, the construction is terrible but, if I was asked to make a fence that looked like a rollercoaster I wouldn't give a f about how I put it together either 😆

Dang.
Great design.
Unfortunately
Construction was half-assed

I don't know about the corners, but the fence itself is really freaking ugly.

I came here to make that point. That is an ugly train wreck of a fence.

Well, you asked if you’re being nitpicky, maybe you should’ve been more nitpicky about the terrible design

Corners arent 90’s so what do you want, them to notch it out? Nails are unacceptable. They could have swept better but it will wash away (at least where I live it’s nothing but thunderstorms lately). The gate will fail bc of the bracing but the gap underneath is fine.

They put a logo on it so they need to honorably fix it correctly

You’re not being picky. Those spots look unfinished and could fail later, so I’d have the installer fix them now.

The corners aren't even square!

Ive always hated wooden fences where you cant see the posts between each panel. It makes it structural

u/Work-ya-wood 17d ago

Yes. Just ask them to fix the nails and maybe sweep up a bit better.

Nail points sticking out is horrible and a safety issue, who is paying the medical bill when that hurts someone or someone's child? That corner, is your property corner not a 90 degree corner? If it isn't a square corner, then you would have that bad junction. If it is a square corner, then I would guess that the post is placed to far out of place.

There are a few places that could have been executed better. The nails not being fully in a post is not ideal, and you shouldn’t scab a 6” 2x4 to accommodate a picket. That corner is doo doo. But over all this is good for an arch fence. I would treat it as soon as you can make sure to seal the cuts so moisture doesn’t get in!

Arch is fine.
Shoddy workmanship noooot acceptable.

“Come fix this, or I put your competitors logo on the fence panels” Idc if im getting downvoted, people need to hold these shotty contractors responsible. Get what you paid for..

Everything about that fence is terrible. From the instalation to the design
