Fence Layout
Using the fence layout sketch as a guide, locate a corner or reference point along each fence run and mark it with a stake.
Use a string stretched between stakes located at the end of each fence run, layout the perimeter of the fence project.
• Layout fence so that minimal panel cuts are required; remember to allow for gates.
• If layout has 90° corners, confirm that corners form 90° angles.
• From starting point, use a tape measure to mark post hole locates.
