Start post installation with a gate, corner or end. Dig post holes to
appropriate depth, approximately 6" wide. Fill bottom of hole with
approximately 6" of peastone/gravel and place post onto gravel. Fill holes
with concrete and tamp down around each post leaving concrete about 2"
from ground level.
If using a gate, the opening between the posts should be 1
1
⁄
11 2
⁄⁄ " wider than the
gate width to allow for hinges. (Example: Use a 48" opening for a 46
1
⁄
11 2
⁄⁄ " wide
gate.) Be sure posts are level and plumb. Brace the posts as necessary while
the concrete is setting.
CAUTION: Do not install all posts fi rst. Installation should proceed
post-panel-post-panel…
NOTE: It is a good idea to have the next post hole in the run already
dug when attaching panel to the previous post (and have the 6" of
gravel inside).
As the gate post (or corner) is setting up, install the fi rst fence
panel. Insert the horizontal rails from the panel into the punched
holes from the previously installed post. Place the rails as far into
the post as they will go.
Place the next required post (line/corner/end) into the dug hole, and
slide the post onto the rails of the panel as far as possible.
Pour concrete around that post and tamp down, leaving concrete
about 2" from ground level.
You now have one fence panel upright between two installed posts.
