TIPS
1. Careful planning & measuring of your fence is essential. Moving pipes once driven into ground is extremely dicult.
2. After you install your rst panel and you have gone thru the learning curve, you can opt to temporarily remove your
fence panel and posts and continue driving all your pipe. This will enable you to work with an unobstructed string line.
3. When cutting PVC use a ne-toothed metal or wood blade.
4. For easier spacing of pipe anchors, you can optionally use a piece of 1x4 wood lumber cut at 70 3/8” for step 2.
Use a wood spacing guide (not included) cut to 70 3/8” to
help identify the location of your next pipe anchor.
5. Once your corner and end posts are set you can use your string line to adjust your top donuts into alignment for a
straight fence line (Figure A). Then use a level to plumb the remaining bottom donuts to ensure each post is straight
and level to the connecting fence panel (Figure B).

6. Most yards are relatively level and will allow for a fairly simple installation.
If your yard is steeply pictched or is very uneven you may need to stair step your panels as illustrated below.
Post heights can be trimmed down as necessary.
Ground
Please note the height of post in regards to the top of the panel versus a level application.
The bottom of the posts would also sit approximately ush to the top of the ground versus
being buried into the ground 1”to 3”.

A
Drive pipe into ground using one of
the options illustrated at the top right.
B
Adjust bottom and top donuts to
compensate for crooked pipe.
C
Install vinyl post over donuts.
D
Pipe is crooked, but vinyl post
is straight and level.
After establishing your fence lines with
string and stake, drive your rst pipe
into the ground. The bottom of the
gear should sit just above the ground
when nished.
Re-Install Top Donuts
Adjust bottom and top
donuts to compensate
for crooked pipe.
Distance from plastic
gear (not donut) to pipe
should be 70 3/8”(or center
to center of pipe at 72”).
Slide vinyl posts down over donuts.
Slide second bracket over the opposite
end of the bottom rail and slide the rail
down into the pre-installed bracket on
the opposing side.
Temporarily remove bottom rail and install bracket using screws.
Use a level on the top of the bottom
rail to determine height of opposing
bracket and mark for installation.
Install top brackets using screws.
Slide top and bottom rails down into the pre-installed
brackets. Use screws to secure. Install pickets by inserting through top rail and locking into the bottom rail.
Trim down post tops as necessary and install post caps.
Use pvc cement (not included) to secure permanently.

QUICK SUMMARY
Try and drive the pipe as level as possible. Check level about every 12”. After about
18”deep the trajectory of the pipe is usually established, and you cannot manually
pull the pipe back into level (donut will not compensate for severly crooked pipe).
Ground can be dug out about
3”to 4”to allow post bottoms
to sit below grade if necessary.
Note: There could be a slight conict between the head
of the exposed screws and end of rail in a tight tting
application. End of rail can be notched to accommodate
Install ONE complete
panel of fence FIRST.
Then proceed to install
only one or two pipe
anchors at a time, until
you fully understand
the fundamentals.
This will help you to
avoid repetitive mistakes.
Purchase post pounder at any hardware store or go to: www.wambamfence.com. Post pounders cost roughly $25 to $30 at Hardware Store
(or rental stores often have for rent). Inside diameter of post pounder should be 3" diameter minimum.

1. Have you contacted local utilities?
You must call before you start installation of your fence to avoid puncturing any unseen
underground utilities, especially electrical or gas lines. Fortunately, this is made easy for you.
Simply call 811 in the US, or visit www.call811.com.
In Canada, visit www.transcanada.com/contactus.html for a list of phone numbers by province.
2.Have you checked your local zoning laws?
Local zoning laws and Home Owners Associations may regulate the height, style and placement
of your fence. Some locations may even require a permit.
3.Are you absolutely sure where your property line is?
Many disputes have arisen from questions about whose side the fence is on. We recommend
the outside edge of your fence to be at least 2” inside your property line to avoid any encroach-
ment on adjacent property
4.Have you talked to your neighbors?
Your fence will become part of their yard, and you’ll have an easier time building it if you can
have access from both sides. Besides, you may get lucky if they decide to share the cost with you.
IMPORTANT!
5.UNSTABLE GROUND OR ROCK?
If you encounter rock or unstable ground, you can concrete the pipe into place
either during installation or afterwards.
