POST INSTALLATION
Dig post holes in locations determined earlier. The recommend hole size is shown in figure above; however, installer should
consult with local and region building codes for proper post footer design.
Each six
-
foot panel requires a post at each end. The posts with an adjacent panel must be bolted together before the posts
are set in concrete. Mate each adjacent post to each other, making certain to adjust for step, corner, tee and variable height
configurations. Corner posts must be bolted at right angles to each other. T– Posts, where three sections of fence come to-
gether, require three posts, with the center post bolted at right angles to the outside posts. For both the corner and t

posts
you will have to drill matching holes into the face without any holes. Do this by aligning the post with holes on the face of the
other post you wish to drill. Using a ø7/16” drill bit and the post with holes as a pattern, drill through the face of the post.
Fasten each pair of posts together using the provided 1/2” long bolts and nuts, using four (4) bolts, equally spaced along the
length of the posts for the 4 foot and 6 foot high fences and six (6) bolts, equally spaced for the 8 foot high fences.
3.
Verify proper hole depth is achieved by placing post in hole and make sure the
post extends the proper distance above the ground level. It may be necessary to
add or remove dirt from the hole to obtain the proper height.
Once proper hole depth is achieved, place post in hole and align open channel of
post in the direction of fence. Fill the hole with concrete to approximately 2” be-
low grade level to flush with ground surface. Before concrete sets, be sure to
plumb, level, and align the post.
Allow the concrete to properly cure in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions before proceeding to the next step.
