4. Pour Concrete
Pour concrete around the post. Care-
fully stamp around each post until
concrete is approximately 2" below
ground level.
6. Assemble
While the cement is setting, as-
semble the next fence section to its
post. Set it in place, cement and
level as before.
POST HEIGHTS
When ordering posts, order them
the same height as your fence sec-
tions. For example, for a 4' high
fence order the 4' Posts.
Posts are furnished in the proper
length for the fence height for in
ground installations. They should
only be cut for a surface mount in-
stallation.
• Posts for 1'6" fence heights are 30" long
• Posts for 3'0" fence heights are 58" long
• Posts for 3'6" fence heights are 64" long
• Posts for 4'0" fence heights are 70" long
• Posts for 4'6" fence heights are 76" long
• Posts for 5'0" fence heights are 88" long
• Posts for 6'0" fence heights are 106" long
• Posts for 7'0" fence heights are 116" long
• Posts for 8'0" fence heights are 130" long
THE FROST LINE
We recommend posts be installed
12" below frost lines. Cement the
post below the frost line if the post is
not long enough to go below the
frost line.
The Frost Line is the lowest depth to
which the ground freezes in winter.
This depth varies from region to re-
gion.
Your local municipality can tell
you what it is for your area.
When ground water freezes it ex-
pands and pushes the ground up,
a process called Frost Heave. This
causes the lumps that appear in the
lawn after a hard freeze.
If you provide drainage and dig the
post holes at least 12" below the
frost line, you can keep frost heave
from affecting the posts.
POST TIPS
• Be certain that all corner posts are set
square to the position of the fence.
• If you have a lot of posts to set, use a
power auger to dig the post holes.
• Mix the concrete on the dry side to
obtain a quick set.

5. Level
Before the cement hardens, level the
posts and fence sections, making
sure that the height above ground
is plumb.
7. Repeat…
Continue installing one post and one
fence section at a time, setting each
post and fence section as you go.
