Step 1
PREPARE VINYL FENCE LAYOUT
Installation instructions for fence lay-out, setting posts, cap installation and clean up, are common for each fence style we offer.
IMPORTANT
Consider soil conditions, slopes, utility locations and property lines when positioning posts. In frost regions, dig the post holes
deep enough to ensure concrete extends below the frost line.
Duramax Vinyl fences are designed for level or sloping terrain. For significant sloping terrain you will need to modify some of the
posts and panel components. Lengthing out the routed holes in the posts and cutting the pickets at the angle of slope will help
with assembly on uneven terrain.
1. Locate property lines.
2. Drive stakes at each end of property lines. Then stretch a string between each stake and
extend the string 2’ beyond property line
(Fig. 1a).
3. Mark each end-corner post locations with a stake. For gate posts, refer to gate section for gate
opening size.
IMPORTANT
Use the 3-4-5 rule as shown below
to ensure for square corners
(Fig. 1b).
POST LOCATION table summarizes sizes and measurements for posts, fence sections and gates.
On Center Distance - refer to the center of one post to the center of adjacent post
