How to Install a Vinyl Fence
You will need a few tools to install your new fence:
- a sledgehammer
- post-hole diggers
- bags of concrete
- a tape measure
- a level
- string lines
- stakes
Follow these instructions:
- Use your hammer to pound the stake into the ground.
- Tie your string lines from one stake to the next, ensuring they are tight.
- Dig your first post hole. You want the holes to be large and deep enough to fit the base of the post.
- Fill the holes and cover the post with concrete, making sure the post stays level.
- Measure your panels to find where the next post needs to be.
- Once you have your posts in, connect the base rail of the panel at the bottom of each post.
- Build your panel by connecting each picket to the bottom rail.
- Once every picket is placed, attach the top rail to your pickets.
- Do one final check to ensure it is level, and you will have completed your first section of the fence!
- Repeat these instructions for each section of fence you need.
