7213⁄16" Layout installation • Using the worksheet as a guide, 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. For 6' sections using 2" posts (Actual Panel size is 71") (Center to Center post distance is 113⁄16" wider than panel) • To mark all other posts: For 6' sections and using 2" posts: from the center of an end point, measure 72 13⁄16" and mark with stake.
3 Start post installation with a gate, corner or end. Dig post holes to appropriate depth, approximately 6" wide. Fill bottom of hole with approximately 6" of peastone/gravel and place post onto gravel. Fill holes with concrete and tamp down around each post leaving concrete about 2" from ground level. 4 If using a gate, 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.
3 Repeat by digging next hole and filling with 6" of gravel. Then insert the next panel into the previously installed post. Place the next post into the dug hole and slide the post onto the rails of the panel as far as possible. Pour concrete around that post and tamp down, leaving concrete about 2" from ground level. Repeat until end of line. 4 Corner posts require some additional handling on one of the fence panels.
Gate Installation 1 Self closing hinges are included with all gates. Make sure hinges are set in the proper direction to accommodate either left or right handed gates or provide an inside or outside swinging gate. The post that will have the gate hinges screwed to it will be the (thick walled) "heavy-duty gate post". 2 Make sure the flange side of the hinge is the side the gate and post will be installed onto. Release tension of hinges with a standard screwdriver prior to installing.
5 Drive two 11⁄4" self-tapping screws through upper hinge into post (use the inside holes for this step). Repeat for bottom hinge. Screw additional eight screws into hinge. 6 Install latch per instructions (Varies by style). Re-tighten the spring tension of hinge to level started at (turn cam clockwise 1 ⁄2 turn).
