This document is an assembly instruction manual for the Zippity Maui Garden Fence Kit 3-Pack, available in white (ZP19065) and charcoal (ZP19066) colors. The product is a garden fence designed for easy assembly, as indicated by the "Easy Does It!" tagline.
Function Description
The Zippity Maui Garden Fence Kit is designed to provide a decorative and functional border for gardens or other outdoor spaces. It comes as a 3-pack, allowing users to create a continuous fence line or separate smaller enclosures. The fence panels are intended to be installed directly into the ground, offering a relatively simple setup process. The design suggests a modular system, where multiple panels can be connected in a straight line or at corners to fit various layouts.
Important Technical Specifications

Materials:
- The screws are specified as "Self-Drilling Stainless Steel," suggesting durability and resistance to corrosion, which is important for outdoor use. The material of the fence panels (slats and posts) is not explicitly stated but is implied to be a weather-resistant material suitable for outdoor garden use, given the product's function and the availability in white and charcoal colors, often indicative of PVC or a similar composite.
Assembly Time:
- Approximate Assembly Time: 30 minutes for the entire 3-pack. This indicates a quick and straightforward assembly process.
Usage Features
Ease of Assembly:
- The manual emphasizes "Easy Does It!" and provides a 30-minute estimated assembly time, highlighting user-friendliness.
- Step-by-step instructions with clear diagrams guide the user through laying out materials, assembling individual fence frames, installing the fence into the ground, and connecting panels.
- A QR code is provided for users to access an assembly video, offering visual guidance.
- The design uses self-drilling screws and pre-drilled holes, simplifying the fastening process.
Installation Flexibility:
- The fence is designed for direct ground insertion, with posts that are 8 inches long for stability.
- Hard Ground Installation Options: The manual provides specific solutions for installing the fence in hard ground:
- Loosening the top 6-7 inches of soil with a claw hammer and adding water.
- Using a 1 1/2" diameter auger bit (commonly used for planting tulips) to drill 12-16 inch deep holes, filling them with water, and then inserting the posts. This suggests the product is adaptable to various soil conditions.
- Panel Connection: Joiner clips allow for connecting panels in both straight lines and at corners, offering versatility in fence layout.
Durability:
- The use of stainless steel screws suggests resistance to rust and corrosion, enhancing the product's longevity in outdoor environments.
