WOODLAND SELECT
PRIVACY PANEL AND GATE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For All Your Vinyl Fencing Needs

BEFORE YOU START, IT’S IMPORTANT TO CHECK:
•That fence or the fence post footings do not exceed your lot lines of your property. If you
can locate your lot pins that would be great. Otherwise you may need to refer to the real
estate agents lot plans or you may need to hire a survey company to come out and mark
your lot lines just to be sure.
•Check your local codes on fencing in your city regarding frontage locations and allowable
fence heights in your neighborhood. A fence permit may be required.
•Contact Diggers Hotline in your state for locations for underground utilities or pipelines.

Please read this instruction sheet completely before starting work. Laying out the fence is an
important rst step toward a quality installation.
NOTE: Privacy fences are designed for level terrain. For Signicant slopes in the terrain you will
need to modify some of the posts and panel parts. Filing out the routed holes in the posts and
cutting the tongue and groove pickets at the angle of slope will help with assembly on un-even
terrain.
STEP 1
Locate the boundary lines to your property.
STEP 2
Drive stakes into the ground along the
property line and stetch a string between
each stake. We recommend that all posts
be set approximately 4”- 6” inside of the
property line to make sure that the
concrete footings do not go over your
property line.
STEP 3
Mark the location of each post hole.
Privacy fence hole locations should
be 93-1/2” on center. A can
of bright colored spray paint or colored
ags work well to mark out holes.

2SETTING POSTS
STEP 1
Dig holes 8”-10” in diameter and anywhere from 24”, 30” or 36”
deep depending on your local weather and soil conditions.
STEP 2
Position the post in the hole. The post should be centered in the
hole and must be square with the fence line so that when the rails are
inserted into place they will parallel the string line. Check the post
on two adjacent sides with a carpenter’s level and adjust as necessary
to make sure it is plumb. The fence height above grade is also
determined at this time. We recommend 2” be left from the bottom
of the bottom rail to the ground.
STEP 3
Pour concrete around the posts and ll up to ground level. Wet or
dry concrete works ne. If using dry concrete water down around the
posts when you are ready for the concrete to start setting up. The
concrete will be set up in about 24 hours. Repeat this step until all
post are set and ready for panel assembly and gate install if needed.

3PANEL ASSEMBLY - BOTTOM RAIL
STEP 1
Slide bottom rails into cutouts in the post. The notches on the
rails will lock the rail into the post. Repeat this step until all
bottom rails are installed. If post spacing is less than 93-1/2” on
center, cut a piece of bottom rail to achieve desired length. Any
power saw works well to cut these rails. You can purchase a
notching tool to re-notch the rail or in most cases you can put a
screw into the cut rail to hold it in place. Locking Notches

4PANEL ASSEMBLY U-CHANNEL
STEP 1
Put U-channels on post sides between top and bottom rail cutouts.
You can secure these with the 3/4” screws provided. Repeat this
step until all u-channels are installed.
5PANEL ASSEMBLY PICKETS
STEP 1
Starting on one end, insert the rst picket into the bottom rail and the u-channel. Proceeding down the panel, insert
the pickets into the bottom rails and interlock tongue and grooves as you go. If the posts are set at less than 93-1/2”
on center you will need to cut down a tongue and groove picket to a smaller width to t your remaining opening.
These can be cut down with a power saw also. The cut will be hidden and insert into the end u-channel.
6PANEL ASSEMBLY TOP RAILS
STEP 1
Place one end of the top rail into the posts and work your way
down the panel, inserting pickets into the top rail as you go.
Once all of the pickets are installed, slide the loose end of rail
into the posts. If posts spacing is less than 93-1/2” on center cut
a piece of top rail to achieve desired length. You can purchase
a notching tool to re-notch the rails or in most cases you can put
a screw into the cut rail to hold the rail in place. Repeat these
steps until all pickets and top rails have been assembled.

9CLEANING
During installation, your fence may have collected dirt. In most cases to clean your new fence you can just hose it
off. For tougher marks, orange cleaner and a scotch brite pad works well to take those off.
8HANG GATES
NOTE: Example on gate posts setting.
For a 3’ Gate you will need to have 36”
between the post and a 4’ gate you will
need 48” between the posts. For double
gates, such as 8’ gates, set post 96”
between post. The gates will be made to
t those openings. The extra space will
allow for the hinges and latch.
STEP 1
Position the gate in the gate opening and
block up the gate as necessary to line up
the horizontal gate rails with those of the
fence. Hinge placement is optional. We
recommend placing the top hinge about 5”
down from the top of the gate frame and
the other about 5” up from the bottom of
the bottom rail. To install the latch follow
the pre-packaged install instructions in the
package.
