Installation Guide

Mark the fence location using string and line

stakes (Fig. 1).

NOTE:

Plan gate placement, opening and hardware

clearance before installing fencing.

If frost line does NOT exceed 30"

Dig post holes 10" in diameter and 30" deep

or to your speci ed frost line, plus 6". Use the

center-to-center measurements of the fence

model being installed for the center-to-center

post distance.

If a fence panel is being used that is less than the

width of a full panel, or if posts are being used other

than 5" in width, measure the width of the panel and

add the width of one post, that will be the center-to-

center post distance of the holes (Fig. 2).

Center-to-center

Measurement

If frost line DOES exceed 30":

Dig hole to the appropriate depth and then add

6" of gravel for post drainage. Add concrete

according to manufacturers instructions until

a depth of 30" remains and let concrete set to

create a footing.

NOTE:

Do not pre-dig all post holes. To ensure

proper post spacing install post-panel-post-

panel-etc.

Set post in hole ensuring it is plumb and level.

Fill hole with concrete according to manufacturers

instructions. Make sure panel will be 2" above

ground, or check with local building codes on

fence height requirements (Fig. 3).
