Step 1: Fence Layout
Call 811 or visit www.call811.com to have the local utilities department locate and mark all underground
lines that may interfere with your Fence Layout.
When determining the Fence Layout there are many things to consider. Below is a list of main points that
should be considered when completing the Fence Layout.
• Property Lines
• Approximate Measurements
• Gate Locations & Sizes
• Distance Between Line Posts (8’, 10’, 12’)
• Number of Rails, Spacing Between Rails & Rail Placement (Inside or Outside)
*For a safer fence, we recommend placement of rail on the animal side of line posts.
• End & Gate Bracing Assemblies (Horizontal/Diagonal or Horizontal or Diagonal)
• Corner Bracing Assemblies (Rounded, Double 45 degree or 90 degree)
*For a safer fence, we recommend Rounded or Double 45 degree corner assemblies.
• Types of Terminations (One-Way Tensioner, Termination Loop, Termination Bracket or T-Bracket)
• If area being fenced requires a two-way Barrel Tensioner, mark these locations
How much Rail do I need?
Use this formula to calculate how many rolls will be needed for your installation.
______________ x _____________ = _________________ / 660’ = ____________________
Total Footage # of Rails Total Rail Footage # of Rolls Needed
Example: 1315’ x 4 = 5260’ / 660’ = (7.97) 8 Rolls

Using the provided graph paper in the back of this manual, complete your Fence Layout. Be sure to:
• Note all gate locations, sizes & opening direction.
• Mark individual measurements on fence layout.
• Decide on the spacing that will be used between line posts.
• Decide which side of the post you will place your rail.
• Mark all end, gate & corner bracing assemblies locations & types.
• Decide on termination types & tensioner locations.
