LAY OUT FENCE LOCATON
Using stakes and string line mark location of fence according to design. When installing next to property boundary
make sure to position as to not encroach onto adjacent property.
Mark location of gates, corners and remaining fence posts. Posts should be located no wider than 72” (6 feet)
from center of post to center of post.
When laying out post locations you may end up with a non
-
uniform section at the end. To prevent this and cre-
ate a uniform fence, we recommend spacing all sections at equal lengths. To do this, measure the total length
of the line of fence you are working on in feet. Divide this measurement by 6 feet and round that number up to
the next whole integer. This number is the number of equal sized sections. Now divide your total length of the
line of fence by the equal section number just calculated. The result will be the distance of your post spacing.
* Installer should consult with local building standards for proper footing size.
INSTALLATION DOS AND DON’TS
Before installation always store fencing materials on a flat surface in a dry location.
Don’t
allow packaged
materials to be rained on, snowed on or exposed to water.
Don't
use hammer or other tools to install composites fence boards.
Do
allow for proper air flow under your installed fence.
Don’t
allow bottom rails, brackets or fence board to set directly on ground.
Don’t
plug the holes in the bottom rail or do anything that would prevent moisture from
draining out of these rails.
Don’t
install fence in a location where it is submersed in water.
Don’t
expose fence and composite fence boards to open flames or place in close proximity
with heat sources.
Do
always install fence with the recommended gaps defined in the installation instructions.
It is recommended when installing on a hot day, greater than 90º F, the smaller recommended gap should
be used. When installing on a cold day, less than 90º F, the larger recommended gap should be used.
