Mark the fence location using string and line stakes
(Fig. 1).
NOTE:
Plan gate placement, opening and hardware
clearance before installing fencing.
Determine Post Location
Measure the width of the fence panel (X) plus ¾" for
brackets, add the width of the post (Y). This is the
general on-center measurement for post hole location.
(Fig. 2)
a. 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. 3). Width is 8".
b. Insert 6" of gravel/ ller into the bottom of both
holes and then set both posts into the ground and
level them.
c. Once your posts are plumb/level, add wet or
dry concrete mix, according to manufacturer’s
instructions, to the top of the post holes. Assure
your posts remain level. (Fig. 4)
