Kit contents
• 13 - 1" x 6"- 72" moulded pickets
(Actual 11/16" x 5-3/8"- 72")
• 3 - 2" x 4"- 72" backer rails
(Actual 1-3/8" x 3-3/8"- 72")
• Fasteners*
• Privacy fence panel: Allows for complete privacy. Use to
surround swimming pools, define property lines or shield
unattractive areas.
• Shadowbox fence panel: Ideal “good neighbor” fence features
the same look on both sides. This style has the look of a privacy
panel but allows for more air circulation.
• Determine the number of posts, panels and gates needed to
complete the job based on the total linear footage. Take into
consideration post, panel and gate widths when determining the
total number (one post per kit plus one to finish the fence run).
• Adjust layout to accommodate as many full panels as possible.
If you must use a partial panel, place it in the farthest rear
corner of the property.
• Locate property boundaries and drive stakes into the ground
at corners and ends of fence line, based on local municipality
regulations.
• Stretch twine or heavy string between stakes and pull tight
to mark layout of fence line.
• Be sure to measure your fence panels and gates prior to
determining the location of the postholes. Also, take into
consideration your chosen method of attaching the backer
rails to the posts (see "Connecting backer rails to posts"
section). Locate post placement in the following order
along string line:
• End/corner posts • Gate posts • Line posts
