Start the post installation with a gate, corner or end. Dig post holes to the appropriate depth,
approximately 6" wide. Fill bottom of the hole with approximately 6" of peastone/gravel and place post
onto gravel. Fill holes with concrete and tamp down each post and leave concrete about 2" from ground
level.

If installing a gate, the opening between th posts should be 1 1/4" wider than the width of the gate to
allow for the hinges. (Example: Use a 48" opening for a 46 3/4" wide gate.) Make sure the posts are
level and plumb. Brace the posts as necessary while the concrete is setting.

CAUTION: When installing your fence or gate, we recommend installing 1 post and section at a time.
NOTE: We've found that it is better to dig the next post hole (and place 6" of gravel inside the hole)
before attaching the panel to the previous post.
As the gate post (or corner post) is setting up, install the first fence panel. Insert the horizontal
rails into the routed holes in post A. Place the rails as close to the posts as possible.
