STAGE 1: FRAMEWORK INSTALLATION
STEP 1: INSTALLING CORNER, END, AND GATE POSTS
TIP Have your Fence Layout Guide available before beginning installation of your YARDGARD SELECT
• Referring your Fence Layout Guide, stake locations for all
corner, end, and gate posts. The gate posts should always be
48˝ apart. (Fig. 1)
IMPORTANT
Before installing any posts, make sure the post
locations are not on top of the marks identified by local utilities.
• Dig post holes at all staked locations using a power or manual
post hole digger. Each post hole should be 6˝ wide and 22˝
deep . (Fig . 2)
• Mark a "ground" line 50˝ from the top down on each post (Fig. 1).
If you are installing on extremely uneven terrain or thick
turf, mark at 51˝.
• Insert marked posts into the center of the post holes. Align the
"ground" line on the posts with the ground. Add gravel as
necessary to achieve the desired height (Fig 2).
If a corner post hole is in a low or high spot, you might
TIP
need to level the area by adding or removing top soil
(Fig . 3) .
• Add fast set concrete to the post hole. As the concrete is
setting make sure the post is plumb on all sides using a
level (Fig. 4). Check that the "ground" line is still level with
the ground. Adjust as necessary. Refer to fast set concrete
instructions for setting time.
• Crown all concrete at post footings so water runs away from
your posts. Prior to the concrete completely setting, gently
wash concrete residue off post surface.
NOTE: Each post hole will require approximately (1) 50 lb bag of
fast set concrete.
Before proceeding to STEP 2, determine if the grade

between the length of your installation exceeds 6%. Visit
homedepot.com or yardgardselect.com for alternative
installation instructions .

INSTALLING LINE POSTS
• Tie a mason's line post to post along your fence line and snap
it tight (Fig. 5).
• Using the line post spacing calculated on your Fence Layout
Guide, place stakes in line post locations .
• Dig line post holes following the same process used in Step 1
(Fig . 2) .
• Center line posts in holes and add fast set concrete.
• Before the concrete sets, raise or lower line posts so that the
50˝
top of posts touch the mason's line (Fig. 6). Make sure posts

Fig . 5 Tying a mason's line
To get a simple and effective guide line use
a mason's line:
• Wrap around near the top of the post
• Loop it around a horizontal section, then
up and over the top
• Keep it as close to the corner (outside
edge) as possible
