Note: Alternatively, you
can use self-drilling metal
screws (NOT INCLUDED)
for steel and avoid having
to pre-drill.
Step 7 is only to be completed if you wish to install your next fence panel at a 90°angle.

Note: Use a wood spacing guide (NOT INCLUDED)
and cut to 70¼” to help identify the location of your
next pipe anchor.

Warning: If your yard has a severe slope or elevation change greater
than approximately 5” to 6” over one panel of fence, you will not be able
to install this fence. Your post will not be long enough to accommodate
this slope
Dig bottom rail into the point of higher elevation to
minimize the gap on the lower side.

AVOID THESE PITFALLS:
1. Have you contacted your local utilities?
You must call before you start installation of your fence to avoid puncturing any unseen underground utili-
ties, especially electrical or gas lines. Simply call “811” in the US or visit www.call811.com. In Canada, visit
www.transcanada.com/contactus.html.
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 or a list of phone numbers by province.
3. Are you absolutely sure where your property line is?
Many disputes have arisen from questions about the location of a fence. We recommend the outside edge
of your fence be at least 2” inside your property line to avoid any encroachment on your neighbor’s prop-
erty.
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
to both sides. Besides, you may get lucky if they decide to share the cost with you!
5. Unstable ground or rock?
If you encounter rocky or unstable ground, you can dig a hole and concrete the pipe anchor into place
much the same way you would traditionally install a fence. This can be done either during the installation
of the pipe anchor or even after the fence is complete.
