Have you contacted local utilities?
You must call before you start installation of your fence to avoid puncturing any unseen
underground utilities, especially electrical or gas lines. Fortunately, this is made easy for you.
Simply call 811 in the US, or visit www.call811.com.
In Canada, visit www.transcanada.com/contactus.html for a list of phone numbers by province.

Have you checked your local zoning laws?
Local zoning laws and Home Owners Associations may regulate the height, style and placement
of your fence. Some locations may even require a permit.

Are you absolutely sure where your property line is?
Many disputes have arisen from questions about whose side the fence is on. We recommend
the outside edge of your fence to be at least 2” inside your property line to avoid any encroach-
ment on adjacent property

Have you talked to your neighbors?
Your fence will become part of their yard, and you’ll have an easier time building it if you can
have access from both sides. Besides, you may get lucky if they decide to share the cost with you.

UNSTABLE GROUND OR ROCK?
If you encounter rock or unstable ground, you can concrete the pipe into place
either during installation or afterwards.
