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.
