New Fence Construction
Required tools/materials:
•
Cordless Drill, Level, Tapered drill bit with countersink attachment
•
4'x4' treated lumber (fir or redwood for posts)
•
2'x2' treated lumber (fir or redwood for posts)
•
1''x4' treated Lumber for horizontal trim
•
2'x6' treated lumber for top cap
•
2'' deck screws- use contemporary color
1)
Dig holes 6' apart and at least 18-24'' deep. Insert 4' x 4' post into holes and fill with concrete. Make
sure post is plumb and level and 6’’1’’ inside diameter from post to post.
2)
Install horizontal rails neat the top and bottom of the posts (6-12''). Make sure the horizontal rails are
flush with the back of the 4'x4' post.
3)
Have helper hold flattened bamboo roll against the horizontal rails. Pre-drill the bamboo poles with
drill bit slightly smaller than the diameter of the deck screw (this protects the bamboo from cracking
or splitting). Fasten bamboo roll onto the horizontal rails at 12' increments with a 2'' deck screw.
Alternate top to bottom to keep fence straight and level.
4)
Attach 1' x 4' lumber to top and bottom of fence (trims out fence)
