Digging postholes
Installing fences on sloped landscapes
Design and layout
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.
Most yards are relatively level and will allow for a fairly simple
installation. If your yard is steeply pitched or very uneven, be
sure to allow for the required mounting height of the adjacent
panel when setting your posts. You may need to "stair step"
the panels in extreme cases (fig. 1).
Post hole spacing is 72 in. post-center to post-center (fig. 2). Mark
post hole locations along string line. Double check all measure-
ments. Check local regulations for any special requirements for
post hole depth. 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. Backfill the holes with 6" of gravel to drain
water away from the bottom of the posts (fig. 3). Keep the height
of your fence panels in mind when digging your 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
