Installation Tips
Before assembling, you need to get a spacer for each section so the fence can be lifted 3” off of the ground. (large flat rocks or 12” rail offcuts work well to lift the fence and prevent rot).
Lay the first layer of rails out roughly where you want the fence to go in a zig-zag pattern, making sure to stack every other rail on top of the other. The sharper/smaller the angle, the stronger the fence will be, so avoid aligning each section in a straight line.
Once you are happy with the layout and the angles of your fence, start from one end and lift up each section and tuck a spacer under the end of each rail, 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 height.
For the beginning and end of the fence, you can lay all of the rail ends on top of each other to create a slope called a, “lazy finish,” or you can use some wood spacers and slot them in each gap to square off the end.

Tools Required
Post & Rail
Starting at your first marked point, dig a 10” hole that is 27” deep using an auger or a shovel. (A 27” deep hole will have the bottom rail ~ 13” above ground)
Place an end 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 ground firmly around the post using a steel tamping rod or the handle of your shovel. (Using gravel will help with drainage, extending the life of the post)
Slide a rail into the bottom slot of the newly installed post. Align the rail with the string line or point it in the direction you want your next post to be. Make a mark in the ground at the end of the rail and dig another 10” x 27” hole there.
Place a line post into the hole and install the rails between the two posts. If you angle the new post away from the previous post, it will make the rail install easier. Make sure to start from the bottom rail and work your way up. Ensure each rail is fully seated into the slot, and that the post is vertical using a level before moving on.
Fill the hole with gravel or soil and tamp around the post the same as in Step 2, checking that the post remains level after tamping.
Repeat steps 3-5 until you reach the final post where you will put an end post in to finish your fence off.
Once all rails are installed, secure them to the post using 3” deck screws. (1-2 screws per rail end).
Optional: A “lazy finish” can be done on either end of your fence by installing a line post instead of an end post. Then install the rails and lay the ends down at an angle and secure them together with screws.
