Pre-Installation (continued) PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE FENCING LAYOUT (See Diagram): □□ 2A. Establish total area to be fenced. Insert stakes 6 in. inside of proposed area extending an additional 3 ft. laterally so as not to disturb string lines when digging post holes. □□ 2B. Attach string line to staked area. Verify corners are square using the 3 ft. x 4 ft. x 5 ft. method. □□ 2C. Fence corners are determined by where strings intersect. □□ 2D.
All Purpose Post Installation 1 Dig hole: □□ Dig hole 12 in. wide x 30 in. deep. 2 12 in. Add Gravel □□ Add 6 in. gravel (depth now = 24 in.) 3 30 in. Set Post □□ Add 160 lbs of concrete. 4 6 in. Next Post □□ Set post at a maximum of 72 in. post-center to post-center. Cross Rail Installation IMPORTANT: Through temperature changes of seasonal weather, Wood Composite Fencing will experience thermal expansion in the pickets and cross rails.
Cross Rail Installation NOTE: For sloping landscape, step brackets down. Picket Installation STAPLES Staple Pattern Holding the staple gun sideways, shoots 4 staples in a box pattern in each “picket and cross rail intersection” so the staples hide vertically in the grain of the picket. To prevent staple buckling when fired into pickets, go slow, push the staple gun firmly and make sure the fence panel is not bouncing back towards the gun. Shorter 1 1/4 in.
TRADITIONAL PICKET STYLE Traditional style consists of 14 Dog-ear and 10 Square Top pickets between posts, and it is important to leave a 1/8 in. space in between each picket. A minimum of 1/8 in. picket spacing is a necessary precaution to avoid the thermal expansion of the pickets, from pushing into each other and building pressure. A small space in between the pickets will prevent the pickets from ever touching. The Traditional Picket Style is more of a semi-private fence. □□ 1/8 in.
Gate Frame Kit Installation Follow the Gate Frame Kit instructions in the box to install each gate. All hardware is included. Use 1 gate frame kit for a single gate; use 2 gate frame kits for a double drive gate. Gates are designed to “swing in.” Gate pickets need a minimum of 4 in. above the ground grade to swing properly. Pickets should be installed in a single layer Tradition Picket Style row for gates only.
