A fence may be useful for several things like privacy, weather barrier, and containment for children or just for decoration. Your imagination is the only thing that is limiting the design. You can get some good ideas when you look at other fences in your neighborhood or when you are looking at home magazines. You should also contact your city or neighborhood associations to ensure that there is no regulation for fence construction.

Layout of your fence. The basic theory is that you are out where your fence will be and stretch a string between them. This will be a guide when you install the posts. If your fence starts with your house, you will probably want to have it at a right angle. It is a simple procedure to get this right. First game, the place where you want your fence to boot. Attach a string to a stake and stretch it out roughly perpendicular to your house. Measured 1.5-meter off the cord and mark it. Select an item on your feet from a house fire. Keep a tape measure diagonally between the one-meter mark and the 1.5-meter mark and move the string until the distance between the marks is 2-meters.

Tie your string in this place and it would be perpendicular to the house. Mark location of your first spot, then measure out of line to mark the rest of the posts. You string should be on the outside of this post, so you have to measure in the string to the middle of posts. Mark this with an effort, so you can see them. If your fence goes down hills you have two choices, you can get top of the fence to follow the hillside, or you can keep the fence sections level and step the fence down at each post. If you like to step down fences, estimating height different from the top and bottom of the hill and dividing that figure by the number of sections. And you will get the amount to step the fence down at each post.

Digging holes. You can use a clamshell digger to dig your postholes, but this is a very tough nut, and if you loads holes or you have trouble because it could rent a power auger, but you normally have two people to run it. In most areas, you must have postholes during frost line to ensure that the post will be established once the ground begins to heaven because of frost. As a guideline, you should bury about half of the corner posts and about a third of the line item below ground.

Setting posts. It is a good idea to put a 30-40cm layer of gravel in the bottom of each hole to prevent councils and decay. The gravel will allow water tat collects in the bottom of the hole to drain away. Set end posts first line item along the edge of your layout string. To prevent water from running down between the post and concrete, fill the hole slightly larger than Earth and tilt the top of the concrete away from the pole a little. Brace the post in place while the concrete cures. The line item does not need so much support.
