A general rule of thumb is to place 1/3 of the post into the ground.

Check local regulations for any special requirements. The fence

will be stronger if the end, corner and gate posts are set at least

6" deeper than the line posts. Using a posthole digger or power

auger, dig the holes 10-12" wide and 6" deeper than needed.

Backﬁ ll the holes with 6" of gravel to drain water away from the

bottom of the posts (ﬁ g. 1). Keep the height of your fence panels

in mind when digging your postholes.

Starting in the corner, mix concrete in the ﬁ rst hole per the

instructions on the bag. Mix thoroughly and install the post into

the hole and tap the post

to the proper depth. We

recommend a 2" gap from

the ground to the bottom

of the bottom routed hole

in the post. Use a level to

ensure the fence post is

plumb. Brace the post with

temporary supports as

the concrete sets (per the

instructions).

Check local ordinances and regulations before building your

fence. Before construction, contact your local utility companies

to mark any underground cables and pipelines. In addition, it is

a good idea to discuss plans with any neighbors along your

proposed fence line.

Step 3Preparation

Digging postholes

• Determine the number of posts, panels and gates needed to

complete the job based on the total linear footage. Take into

consideration post, panel and gate widths when determining

the total number of each.

• Adjust layout to accommodate as many full panels as possible.

If you must use a partial panel, place it in the farthest rear

corner of the property.

• Locate property boundaries and drive stakes into the ground

at corners and ends of fence line, based on local municipality

regulations.

• Stretch twine or heavy string between stakes and pull tight

to mark layout of fence line.

• Be sure to measure your fence panels and gates prior to

determining the location of the postholes. Place posts in the

following order along string line:

• End/corner posts • Gate posts • Line posts
