Installation Tips
Before assembling, decide on spacers to lift each section 3” off the ground (large flat rocks or 12” rail offcuts work well to prevent rot).
Lay the first layer of rails out approximately where you want the fence to go in a zig-zag pattern, stacking every other rail on top of the other. The sharper/smaller the angle, the stronger the fence will be, so avoid placing them too straight.
Once you are happy with the angles of your fence, start at one end and lift up each section and tuck a spacer under the end of each post, securing them with screws as you go.
Starting from one end, add another layer of rails across the entire length following the same pattern, securing them with screws as you go. Repeat this until you reach your desired heigh.
For the ends of the fence, you can have all of the rails stack on top of each other to create an slope called a, “lazy finish,” or you can grab a few extra wood spacers and slot them in each gap to square off your ends.

Tools Required
Post & Rail
-
Starting at your first marked point, dig a 10-inch diameter hole that is 27 inches deep using an auger or spade shovel.
(A 27" deep hole will leave the bottom rail approximately 13" above ground.)
-
Place the first post into the hole. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly vertical (plumb). Backfill around the post with gravel or the soil from the hole. Tamp the material firmly using a steel tamping rod or the handle of your shovel.
Tip: Using gravel around the post base improves drainage and will extend the life of the post.
- Slide a rail into the bottom slot of the installed post. Line the post up with the string line or just point it in the direction you want your next post to be. Make a mark at the end of the rail and dig another 10-inch diameter hole that is 27 inches deep.
- Place the next post into the hole and install the rails between the two posts. Angle the new post away from the previous post to make rail installation easier, starting with the bottom rail and working your way up. Make sure each rail is fully seated into the slots of both posts. Then straighten the new post so it is perfectly vertical using a level.
- Backfill and tamp the post the same way as in Step 2 (gravel recommended). Double-check that the post is still level after tamping.
- Repeat steps 3-5 until you reach the final post. For the last post, use an end post instead of a normal line post.
- Once all rails are installed, secure them using 3-inch deck screws (1-2 screws on each end of every rail).
