Installation Guide
2
Please read these instructions carefully before installing 
your Barrette fence. If you have any questions or issues 
installing the fence, please contact us at 1-800-336-2383
for assistance.
Before You Begin…
Check your local zoning laws.
•  Local zoning laws and Home Owners Associations may 
regulate the location, style and height of your fence or 
even require a permit signoff beforehand.
Contact your local utilities companies.
•  You must have the utility companies clearly mark 
your property for electrical, gas or water lines to avoid 
puncturing any unseen underground utilities.
Pay to mark your property line.
•  Being proactive will save you time and money from any 
disputes from neighbors.

Sketch Plan and confi rm materials needs
•  First, draw or sketch out your fence plan to paper. This 
drawing will help you estimate materials and plan location 
of corners and gates. Show the house, driveway, deck, and 
property lines. Then measure accurately with tape measure 
and identify those on your sketch.
•  Layout should show fence lines and gate locations
•  Determine number of sections and posts needed
•  The opening left for gates should be the width of the gate 
ordered. A 48” walk gate opening should be left for a 48” 
gate (which is made at an actual width of 46.5” to fi t a 48” 
opening)
Installation Tips
•  Gates need to be installed on level ground
•  Gates and fence panels should be installed so that the 
bottom of the fence is 2" above ground level to allow for lawn 
maintenance/cutting.
•  Once installed, the top of the post will be at the same height 
as the top of the tallest part of the fence panel.
•  Separate and identify your posts. The rails from the fence 
panels will be inserted into the pre-punched holes of the 
posts.
