Installation Instructions for Garden Fence with U-Posts
Garden Fence is designed with rectangular mesh spacing that decreases from 4 in. to 1 in. closer to
the ground. This spacing protects your garden by keeping harmful animals from getting out while
allowing easy access for picking your crop. It can also be used for support purposes, as well as for
home crafts. It is available in galvanized, PVC Coated Green, and PVC Coated Black configurations.
It is galvanized for long life.
Tools Recommended: Gloves, Rubber Mallet, Side Cutters, Flathead Screwdriver
For light duty or temporary fencing projects up to 4’ tall, U-Posts are the best choice for installing Garden Fence. For
projects over 4’ tall, T-Posts are the best choice. U-Posts are designed with tabs to make installation of Garden Fences
easy. Ensure that the post selected is at least 1 foot taller than your selected Garden Fence. For example, if using 36” tall
Garden Fence, select a 48” tall U-Post. Each post is manufactured with an anchor plate welded toward the bottom to
prevent the post from freely moving once installed in the ground. The number of posts needed depends on the length of
Garden Fence selected.
1. Before starting, ensure the space in which you are installing your Garden Fence does not have
any underground wires or pipe so as to avoid damaging them when installing the U-Posts.
2. Measure your desired fence perimeter. Confirm that it is less than or equal to the total length of
your selected Garden Fence.
3. Install your first U-Post at the one end of the fence perimeter. U-Posts should be pounded in
with a rubberized mallet. Be sure to install U-Posts with the tabs facing in the same direction
(see picture to the right) and facing outward from the perimeter area. They will install about 12
inches into the ground such that the anchor plate is below the dirt or grass line.
4. Allow for plenty of post to remain to install the fence. The U-Post may stick up slightly higher
than the Garden Fence.
5. Install a second post at the other end of the fence perimeter. If you are creating an
enclosed fence area, install a U-Post at the location of each corner or bend in the fence.
6. Depending on the total length of your desired fence, install additional U-Posts at 5 to 7 foot
intervals. Having your U-Posts at uniform intervals will make for a neater looking fence.
7. Once the U-Posts are installed, at a total distance not to exceed the length of your selected
Garden Fence, you are ready to install your Garden Fence on the U-Posts .
8. Unwind the Garden Fence on the ground.
9. Starting at the first U-Post, hook the Garden Fence onto the U-Post tabs. You may need to
bend the U-Post tabs out slightly using a flathead screwdriver. Ensure that your Garden
Fence fencing touches the grass and make sure the 1 in. end is on the ground and the 4 in.
end is on the top so the spacing gets wide as the fence goes up.
10. Continue along your fence perimeter hooking the Garden Fencing to each consecutive U-
Post. If your perimeter has corners, carefully bend the Garden Fence around the U-Post at
the corner.
11. Continue until the fence is in place and hooked onto each U-Post.
12. If your final fence design is less than the length of your selected Garden Fence, you can
carefully use a side cutter to cut your fence to size. Use caution as this can leave sharp
ends on your fence. Bending these cut ends over can mitigate this potential problem.
