DETERMINE THE FENCE LINE, POSTHOLE DEPTH AND CENTRES
We recommend you plan your fence set out/post
position on a piece of paper to save unnecessary
digging.
Accurately determine the boundary line to where
the fence will be installed, (in some cases a
surveyor may be required) mark this with a string
line as per the diagram below.
Determine your posthole centres using the table
below as a guide and mark out your posthole
positions on the ground with line marking paint.
NOTE-
Postholes can be dug by hand or with a mechanical auger. Use the footing depth table on page 5 to
determine your posthole depth and diameter.
Recommended footing depths listed here are for wind regions A & B plus terrain categories 2.0, 2.5 &
3. If you are building your fence in a cyclonic wind area, on top of a hill, adjacent to an escarpment, on
a ridge or in terrain category 1, you will need engineering advice beyond the scope of this publication.
Position the
boundary line half
the depth of the post
