1. Layout and Planning
1.1. First stake out the area and run strings around
as shown in Figure 1. Gates need to be located
on level ground.
1.2. Proceed to dig post holes approximately 3” to
4” wider than the gate on centers See Figure
2 (on next page) for post hole depth.
1.3. Be sure to separate the gate posts from other
fence posts. Gate posts have a thicker wall
than other fence posts. To prevent your fence
from running short of the next gate post DO
NOT install more than one gate for each line
of fence to be installed. Additional gates will
be installed when the fence reaches the desired
gate location.
