Post Location:
Measure the width of the fence panel (X) plus the width
of the post (Y). This is the common center-to-center
measurement (unless there is a cut-down panel) for post
hole location (Fig. 4).
Post Installation:
Dig the  rst two post holes. Hole size should be dug based
on the following determination: Depth is determined by
your local frost line measurements plus 6" for gravel/ ller
(Fig. 5). Width is 6"
Insert 6" of gravel/ ller into the bottom of both holes and
then set both posts into the ground and level the  rst post.
Add wet or dry concrete mix according to manufacturer’s
instructions to the top of the  rst post hole. Make sure your
post remains level with 3
