Steps to Install Panel Fences

When building a fence, the main reason that you want it is privacy, so a panel fence will give that to you. Panel fences are easy to build for yourself, as long as you have someone that can help you out. It is really a two person job. Here are the steps to build a panel fence.

1. Dig the holes for your posts.




2. Set the first post only. Fill the hole with gravel around the post.




3. Here is where you are going to need the other person. Have the other person hold up the panel against the post.




4. Attach the panel to the post using angle brackets. It is best to place them at intervals of about 24 inches.




5. Move on to the next post, set it and fill around it with gravel.




6. Attach the next panel the same as the first.




7. Repeat these steps until you have completed your fence.




8. Now you can attach the capping strips to the tops of the panels.




9. Cut the fence posts 2 inches above the top of the fence. Then, nail the caps to the posts.




10. Go back and pour concrete in all the post holes and allow to set.
