Starting at an end point, run a tape measure along the
ground to the next stopping point, and drive intermedi-
ate stakes at equal intervals of 96¾″, plus or minus
½″, to mark the locations for your remaining posts.
Note: All measurements must be made along the
ground elevation, regardless of slope. This ensures
the ATF (All Terrain Fence) feature is properly em-
ployed when panels are ′raked′ to follow grade (see
Step 3-4).
When staking gate post locations, space the opening
between posts (inside post face to inside post face)
according to the following table:

Line and corner posts will require four (4) universal
brackets; End posts will require two universal brackets.

Using a string line, mark your property’s boundary
lines. Based on your worksheet site plan, locate each
point where the fence starts, stops or turns a corner
(including points for gate locations) and mark it with a
stake (Figure 3-1).
Stake End, Corner & Gate Locations
Measure the distance between each end of the line;
drive a stake halfway between the ends. Proceed
from the center stake to the left end, staking every
96¾”; then return to center and repeat the process
as you move toward the right end (Figure 3-2).
Dig post holes at each marking stake (see Figure 3-3).
The exact diameter and depth of the hole may need
to be increased depending on local weather and soil
conditions. Regardless of depth of the hole, post height
(from ground line) should always be set as follows:

Mount panels as shown in Fig. 3-4b. Unless the tops
of the posts are level, always begin with the higher
post rst. Insert rail ends into brackets, hand-tighten
hex nuts onto carriage bolts, and ne-tune to ensure
panel is positioned at proper height.
Bottom-most part of panel should be 2” higher than
the ground level mark on the post. Using a wrench,
tighten hex nuts to hold rails rigidly in place. Fix brack-
ets in place with hex-headed self-drilling screws. On
the opposite end of the panel, position the rails so that
the bottom-most part of the panel is 2” above ground.
Note: Whenever the second post is lower than the
rst, it will be necessary to ‘rake’ the panel by pushing
the unfastened end downward until it is positioned at
the appropriate height.
Attach and tighten the brackets on the second post to
complete panel installation.
