My chunky bulldog managed to bust through our new vinyl fence and popped one
of the posts off. We attempted to glue the post back in place however it
keeps falling off. I am unsure if i'm using the correct adhesive? or if
there is a correct way to repair the fence. Any suggestions or help would be
fantastic!
Thanks Heidi

April 1 ... oh well, you might be serious. There is a hollow space in there
that could be filled with a supporting member.

Isn't that a flavor of icecream?

Haven't been up close to a vinyl fence so I don't know who big the gap
is in these fences.

PC-70 fills spaces well, and sticks to almost anything. Havent tried
vinyl, but rough it up with sand paper or a surform, and make the
area of the vinyl that the epoxy is attached to as big as you can.
Like the size of two postage stamps at least.

Keep anyone from touching it for 24 hours.

Lately, I've only seen pc-70 in small containers, 2 oz?, but I buy it
in 2 four-oz. cans. If you never let anything that has touched one
material touch the other can, it will keep for years and years. A
little can go a long way, although you might need quite a bit here, I
don't know.

You can slobber on your fingers and use them to smooth out the glue,
but if it is all out of sight, that wouldn't matter here.

I've used Liquid Nails in the past to reattach a vinyl picket that had
broken loose. I clamped the picket for 24 hours or so. Seems to
be holding well many months later.

This is one of the posts that goes into the ground?

I just put up a vinyl fence. The instructions were to
fill the gate and end posts with cement and rebar.

Use any glue to just hold in the cement until it cures.
Use 3 pieces of rebar and fill the post
to a few inches from the top.

Vinyl repair cement sold for kiddie wading pools will work just fine
as will the usual PVC plumbing cement. Add reinforcements a sneeded.

In the long run, a shock collar and an "invisible fence" might be the
solution you need. Nothing will work until you get the dog under
control. If you get the dog under control, any fence will do.

Not unless the dog is well trained, which strikes me as unlikely.
An excited bulldog will be right through the shock zone before
the idiot ambulatory set of jaws figures out that it hurts.

I bought my vinyl fencing at HD.
There was a glue there that was made for the vinyl fencing. It's called,
get ready for it... PVC VINYL FENCE CEMENT (White) made by Erwin
Industries, Inc. Bulls Gap, TN
BTW, I filled the hollow horizontal rails with 2"x3"s for extra support
and strength.
