Those are some pretty big and pretty high holes. It looks more like lawnmower to me.

Looks like things that happen when you have kids

Reminds me of the damage I did with my pellet gun back in the day…

Weed eater or bb guns

Yes. Definitely possible.

How big a weedeater?

BB gun
Bambams80HD
Did it hail recently? Could be that or someone shot it with a bb or pellet gun. Check for little bb’s or pellets.
Seems too high up for a lawnmower or weed wacker.

BB gun.
My wife shot at something on my patio and it ricochet up into the siding.
Looks just like this.
If they don’t go all the way through, pull a panel off and see if the BBs are trapped inside.
Document and set up a camera.
I’m betting you have a neighbor with a son that’s in the 10 to 16 year old range.

Absolutely.

I flung a rock hard enough to break a car window couple years back…. $300 down the drain.

Needs closer pics this shits a mile away

They have repair kits for those vinyl fences

Lawn mower. Yes.

There’s too many big holes to be a weed eater imo. Someone would have to be pretty stupid to cause that much damage and not notice.. My bet is a kid with a new toy, sling shot or pellet gun

Yup

When I lived in Montana all the vinyl fences would look like this after a hail storm
GeoDude86
That is some extremely brittle plastic.

Yes, cheaper vinyl fence will do this when hit with weed Wacker, my neighbors fence did this when I walked thr property line, but my fence did not do this. Must have been thicker material on my fence.

Looks more like lawn mower shrapnel to me

Lawn mower shooting rocks?
WorldNo9002
Airsoft gun more likely

The fact that the holes are are different my guess is weed wacker & rocks .

Mower, weed eater, bbs

Not a string trimmer, maybe a Stihl combi cutting head. Lawn mower would do it in that spread too. Or bb/pellet gun.

Looks like PVC termites. Easily fixed by bringing in a few Carpenter Bees. They do good work with their little bee hammers.

You should post this in r/forensics lol

How does one go about hiding these holes? Do they make patch kits for these fences?

Yup!

Get a pile of rocks and a Weedwhacker and find out

Could this be caused by a weedeater? Yes and you will find lots of gravel on the walkway nearby. Chances are good like the others I think you will find Pellets or BB’s. Could also be hammer marks from a 2-3yo. 😉

If the vinyl is really old and sun-bleached/brittle then.. maybe. Otherwise aint no way a lawnmower or string trimmer is putting a rock through 2 layers of vinyl.
My money is on bb or pellet gun.

At my prior house, this started happening to my neighbors fence, it was from Home Depot. My kids kicked a soccer ball at it and it made a soccer ball size dent/hole in it, so it doesn’t take much. Kids were 6 and 3 yo too. Thankfully neighbor never noticed as that part was behind a bush 😅

Or a bored neighborhood brat throwing rocks at your fence.

Probably find the bb or pellet at the bottom of the slat when you take it apart

Vinyl fencing is advertised as being so durable but I’ve seen so much damage that would never happen with wood.

Are those fences really that cheaply made?
