Layout Installation
- Establish your fence line by staking out the areas you wish to enclose. Locate each point in which you will need an end, corner or gate post and mark it with a stake (Fig. 1).
- For 6′ sections using 2″ posts: measure 723⁄4″ from the center of an end point and mark with stake (Fig. 2).
NOTE
- Installing on sloped terrain will reduce distance between posts.
- If you are left with a space less than a full panel, the panel can be cut down to fit the space by using a hacksaw. “Notch” the cut ends of the horizontal rails so they will sit inside of post.
- Attach string to each stake to provide straight guide lines.
- Plan gate placement, opening and hardware clearance before installing fencing.
Post Top Installation:
Use a rubber mallet to gently drive the post tops onto the posts (sold
separately). Be careful not to damage the post top (Fig. 3).
Post Location:
Measure the width of the fence panel (X) plus the width of the post (Y). This
is the common center-to-center measurement (unless there is a cut-down panel)
for post hole location (Fig. 4).
Post Installation
Dig first two post holes 6″ in diameter and down to your specified frost line.
Insert filler/gravel into the bottom of both holes and then set first post in
post hole. Add wet or dry concrete mix according to the manufacturer’s
instruction to the top of the hole for first post only and level it.
Example: When your frost line is 36″ insert 12″ of gravel/ filler and 24″ of post with concrete surrounding (Fig. 5).
Gate Installation
The opening between the posts should be 11⁄2″ wider than the gate width to
allow for hinges. (Example: Use a 48″ opening for a 461⁄2″ wide gate.) Be sure
posts are level and plumb.
Panel/Post Installation:
- As the post is setting up, install the first fence panel. Insert the horizontal rails from the panel into the punched holes from the previously installed post. Place the rails as far into the post as they will go (Fig. 1).
- .Place the next required post into the dug hole, and slide the post onto the rails of the panel as far as possible. Plumb and level the post and add concrete according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- After setting the first fence section, proceed systematically with the post, panel, post, etc. (Fig 3).
- After the concrete has set, fasten the fence section to the posts using #8 x 1″ self-tapping screws (Fig. 4).
IMPORTANT
Be careful not to over-tighten screws.
