Cutting Vinyl Corner Post

The only cut you should make on the corner is at the nailing flange.

Hammer the first nail into the nailing slot. Keep these pests out by capping each post before you install it. Gap at the top where the post will meet the eaves. Make a diagonal cut in the corner of the fabric toward an inside corner of the cushion stopping about 1 inch from the cushion.

Step 2 make two diagonal cuts 1 2 inch long from the first cut to finish the y cut in the fabric. Remove 1 of nailing flanges from the bottom of the top piece. The way to allow for this expansion is to install the corner post down from the soffit or top of the corner. Repeat this y cut at each corner.

Step 2 set up the cut. Cut the post long enough to extend past the bottom of the starter strip by 3 4 in. Vinyl fencing is often hollow making cutting it difficult when using a circular saw regardless of the teeth on the blade. This can result in the vinyl splitting and cracking.
