Layout Installation
The location of your gate will determine the
layout of the posts for the fence line.
To make sure your fence run is straight, install
line stakes and run a string line. The string line
should be positioned on the side of the posts
and be very tight.
Mark the location for each post with a stake.
For residential fencing
(1" side wall)
, leave 72
1/2"
on center
between each post. For
commercial fencing
(1.5" side wall)
, leave 71
1/2"
on center
between each post
.
NOTE: If the space you left is less than a full
panel,then you can cut down the panel to fit
the space by using a hacksaw. (See
Illustration)
Tie the string to each stake.
NOTE: The fence will be likely need to be set
up from the property line as required by your
local building codes.

Use a rubber mallet to drive the post caps onto the posts gently. Be careful not to damage the top of post.
Mix the concrete on the dry side to hold the posts in place faster. See chart below to determine the minimum
depth for your fence.
NOTE: In areas where the frost occurs on the ground, the concrete foundations should be extended below the
frost line (generally below 12" ).This will account for frost "heave", in which ground water freezes and expands
upwards. By providing this 12" drainage system,you can keep the frost heave from affecting the posts. Verify
depths meet all the local building codes.
