Complete the following steps to assemble the corner post.
Determine the position of each corner post and mark the site with a stake or flag.
1.
Using the measurements in the diagram to the right, measure and drill two (2) 5/16" mounting holes
2.
through the bottom of the corner post. Use a center punch to mark the location and to prevent the drill bit
from slipping out of position. Clamp the pipe in a vice or have an assistant hold the opposite end of the
pipe to keep it in position.
These mounting holes must be parallel and in line with each other. These are the mounting holes used to
secure the bottom of each corner post to each ground post.
NOTE:
If you purchased a cable to run around the perimeter of the fenced area
at the top of the corner
posts
, measure 1" down from the top of the corner post and drill a 1/4" hole through the 1.90" pipe.
Once all 1.90" corner posts are prepared, take the 102676 pre-drilled ground posts and drive each into
3.
the ground. If a ground post driver was purchased, slide it into the top of the ground post (mounting
hole end) to drive the post. If no driver was purchased, use a small wood block to protect the top of the
post. A 2-3 pound hammer usually works to drive the post. Drive the post until the
lower mounting hole
is approximately 2"- 3" above the ground. WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND GLOVES WHEN DRIVING
THE POST!
NOTE:
To keep the height of the corner posts equal, drive all ground posts to the same depth. Use a
string line if needed to keep the ground post height uniform. Drive all ground posts so they are plumb
(straight) so all corner post are straight when these are attached. Check the ground post with a level as
you drive it into position.
