Installation Tips

  • Call 811 before digging to locate underground utilities
  • Set posts in concrete - 2 bags per post for standard soil
  • Posts should be 1/3 underground (8' post for 6' fence)
  • Use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact
  • Leave 2-4" gap at bottom to prevent rot
