Post Location:
Measure the width of the fence panel (X) plus the width
of the post (Y). This is the common center-to-center
measurement (unless there is a cut-down panel) for post
hole location (Fig. 4).
Post Installation:
Dig the rst two post holes. Hole size should be dug based
on the following determination: Depth is determined by
your local frost line measurements plus 6" for gravel/ ller
(Fig. 5). Width is 6"
Insert 6" of gravel/ ller into the bottom of both holes and
then set both posts into the ground and level the rst post.
Add wet or dry concrete mix according to manufacturer’s
instructions to the top of the rst post hole. Make sure your
post remains level with 3
