Repeat by digging the next hole and filling it with 6" of gravel. Then, insert the next panel into the 

previously installed post. Place the next post into the hole and slide the post onto the rails of the panel as 

firmly as possible.

Pour concrete around that post and tamp it down, leaving concrete about 2" from ground level. Repeat 

until the end of the line.

Step 3

Corner posts require some additional work on one of the fence panels. The rails of one panel need to

be notched 1/2" to allow the rails to nest adequately within a corner installation.
