Installation instruction
-
Mark the fence location using string and line stakes (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Plan gate placement, opening and hardware clearance before installing fencing. -
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. 2).
Post Installation:
Dig first two post holes in diameter based on size chart below* 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. 3). -
Insert 6″ of gravel/filler into the bottom of both holes and then set both posts into the ground and level the first post. Add wet or dry concrete mix according to manufacturer’s instructions to the top of the first post hole (Fig. 4). Make sure panel will be 2″ above the ground. After setting first fence section, proceed systematically with post, panel, post, etc.
-
Insert board into the bottom post route. Then insert the board into the bottom post route on the other post (Fig. 5).
-
Ensure that the lock tab is securely inserted into the post (Fig. 6).
-
Continue working your way upwards inserting boards until all 13 boards are installed (Fig. 7).
-
Apply glue on inside rim of post tops then attach to posts (Fig. 8). Repeat these steps until completed.
