Layout installation:
• Establish your fence line by staking out the
areas you wish to enclose. Locate each point
in which you will need an end, corner or gate
post and mark it with a stake (Fig. 1).
• For 6' sections using 2" posts: measure 72

from the center of an end point and mark with
stake (Fig. 2).
NOTE:
• Installing on sloped terrain will reduce panel
length.
• If you are left with a space less than a full
panel, the panel can be cut down to t the
space by using a hacksaw. “Notch” the cut
ends of the horizontal rails so they will sit inside
of post (Fig. 3).
• Attach string to each stake to provide straight
guide lines.
• Plan gate placement, opening and hardware
clearance before installing fencing.

Panel Assembly:
Place top and bottom rails on a smooth, at and
clean surface. Position the rails so that the "J"
hook inside the rails is on top, with the "J" facing
down (Fig. 3).
NOTE:
• For three-rail fences, place the additional
middle rail approximately 2" below top rail.
• Make sure to properly position the "J"
hooks as shown (Fig. 3) otherwise the
pickets will not lock in place, and panel will
not be secure.
For Straight Top Panels:
Moving left to right, push all pickets through holes
in rails except top rail, being careful to have the
hole in each picket facing up (Fig. 4). Position
pickets to allow holes to remain approximately 2"
below rails.
For Picket Top Panels:
Moving left to right, push all pickets through holes
in rails, being careful to have the hole in each
picket facing up (Fig. 4). Position pickets to allow
holes to remain approximately 2" below rails. Due
to the size of crimping on the top of the picket,
insert rails from the top down.
For Alternating Picket Top Panels:
Before inserting pickets, determine the layout of
the pickets, alternating between small and larger
pickets. Moving left to right, push all pickets
through holes in rails except top rail, being
careful to have the hole in each picket facing up
(Fig. 4). Position pickets to allow holes to remain
approximately 2" below rails. Due to the size of
crimping on the top of the picket, insert rails from
the middle rail down.

Make sure arrows on locking strip point towards
the rail above. Starting with the bottom rail, take
one locking strip, place and snap in the bumps
from the locking strip into the holes of the picket.
Move from left to right, using your thumb to push
down and tightly lock the bumps in each hole.
(Fig. 5). Repeat this process for the other rails.
NOTE:
If the fence panels were cut shorter, then the
locking strip will have extra length at the end of
the install. Use scissors or a knife to cut excess
off, leaving approximately 2" of the strip after
last engaged bump.
Rails
:
Slide rails down over the locking strips. Starting
from the left and moving right, gently place the
rail over the locking strip (Fig. 6). Run your hand
along the bottom of the rails. If you feel the
locking strip, it is not secure. You should only feel
the rail.
NOTE:
For a three-rail panel, start with the bottom
rail rst, then secure the middle rail, then the
top rail.
Lock in Pickets:
Stand up assembled fence panel section and
starting at one end of panel, place hands rmly
on rails, and push down until a "snap" is heard.
Repeat this process for the middle and end of the
panel with each rail. All the pickets should now
be locked into the rails (Fig. 7).
NOTE:
You may need to use a rubber mallet to
assist with locking the rails – gently tap the
rails with the mallet until the rails are secure
(an audible"snap" will indicate that the strip
is in the locked position).

Use a rubber mallet to gently drive the post tops
onto the posts (sold separately). Be careful not to
damage the post top (Fig. 1).

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. 2).
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. 3). 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

As the post is setting up, install the rst fence
panel. Insert the horizontal rails from the panel
into the punched holes from the previously
installed post. Place the rails as far into the post
as they will go (Fig. 1).
PANEL / POST INSTALLATION

Place the next required post into the dug hole,
and slide the post onto the rails of the panel as far
as possible.
Pour concrete around that post and tamp down,
leaving concrete about 2" from ground level.
You now have one fence panel upright between
two installed posts (Fig. 2).
Repeat by digging next hole and lling with 6"
of gravel. Then insert the next panel into the
previously installed post. Place the next post into
the dug hole and slide the post onto the rails of
the panel as far as possible (Fig. 3).
Pour concrete around that post and tamp down,
leaving concrete about 2" from ground level.
Repeat until end of line.

After concrete has set, fasten the fence section
