- Take your measurements. Measure 4 inches from the ground up and mark the fence post you are attaching the fence panels to so that you can secure the end. Repeat the same step for the next post.
- Label your first fence post. Take a string and tie it around the first fence post mark and move it all the way out to the second fence post mark. If you notice that the bubble on the left is off center, then lower the appropriate end of the string until the bubble is in the center.
- Continue your markings. Repeat the same process as above in step two and mark the rest of your posts. The height and placement will depend on how much slope there is in the area that you are putting the posts.
- Put screws into the brackets. Drill the screws into the brackets for each of the posts. Next, position the fence panel between the two lower brackets.
- Mark your placements. Notch the upper bracket placement according to where the fence panel ends on the post and then remove the fence panel. Repeat this step for each set of posts. Next, drill screws through those upper brackets into the fence posts.
