SET END-CORNER POSTS

1.  Dig all End-Corner post holes first, 10” for 5”x5” post and 8” for 

4”x4” in diameter and 24” deep 

(Fig. 2a).

2. Insert End-Corner Posts into holes and set them in concrete filling 

hole to 2” below ground level.

3.  Make sure all posts are level and plumb. 

4.  Stake a string line across the top of the End-Corner posts to mark the desired height of the Line posts 

(Fig. 2b).

5. Now stake out the positions of the Line posts along the string line 

(Fig. 2b).

 

IMPORTANT

You will first need to determine the “post on center distance”, the measurement from the center of one post to the center 

of the next. 

Example for Privacy Fence:    Section width  = 90”  Post size  =  5” (5x5)  Total “Post On Center distance” = 95”

LAYOUT FENCE AND POSITION POSTS

IMPORTANT

Post depth and width will be determined by local weather and 

soil conditions.  In frost regions, dig the post holes deep enough 

to ensure concrete extends below the frost line.  Please check the 

building code in your area specifies a frost line depth.
