Congratulations on selecting one of our exceptional wood products for your
fencing. Despite all the choices on the market today, wood is still the preferred
fencing material over vinyl and other options. Wood’s exceptional beauty
blends into the environment for a natural look, or may be stained for a custom
appearance. Its durability means it will retain its good looks year after year.
Before you start your fencing project, consider these important issues
and questions:
What is the main purpose of your fence?
Privacy – create a visual barrier
Enclose – create a physical barrier
Enhance – create a decorative accent
Who will install your fencing?
Have you ever had a fence professionally installed?
What did you like or dislike about your experience?
Before you begin, plan.
Sketch your planned fence, showing how it fits in your yard.
Check all local zoning ordinances for fence requirements and restrictions.
Check to see if you have any neighborhood agreements that govern fencing.

Preparation
Check local ordinances and regulations before building your fence.
Before construction, contact your local utility companies to mark any
underground cables and pipelines. In addition, it is a good idea to
discuss plans with any neighbors along your proposed fence line.
fig. 5
DecorativeTopFence.ai
Planning
Design and layout. Determine the number of posts, panels and
gates needed to complete the job based on total linear footage. Take
into consideration, post, panels and gate widths when determining
the total number of each. Adjust layout to accommodate as many
full panels as possible. If you must use a partial panel, place it in
the farthest rear corner of the property. Locate property boundaries
and drive stakes into the ground at corners and ends of fence line.
It is a good idea to check local municipalities for additional property
line ordinances. Stretch twine or heavy string between stakes and
pull tight to mark layout of fence line. Lattice
Be sure toTop

panels and gates prior to determining the location of the postholes.

Installing fences on sloped landscapes. Most yards are
relatively level and will allow for a fairly simple installation. If your yard
is steeply pitched or very uneven, be sure to allow for the required
mounting height of the adjacent panel when setting your posts. You
may need to “stair step” the panels in extreme cases (fig. 1).

Postholes
Digging postholes. A general rule of thumb is to place 1/3 of
the post into the ground. Check local regulations for any special
requirements or frost laws. The fence will be stronger if end, corner
and gate posts are set at least 6" deeper than needed. Backfill the
holes with 6" of gravel to drain water away from the bottom of the
posts (fig. 2). Keep the height of your fence panels in mind when
digging your postholes.
Setting posts. Install end and corner posts first. Tie a string
between the posts along the fence line. This establishes a reference,
ensuring the posts are properly aligned (fig. 3). Brace the posts
using 2x4s nailed to both the posts and stakes in the ground. This
will keep them straight while the concrete sets. Check for plumb
(90° angle) on two adjacent sides prior to pouring concrete. Fill
hole with ready-mix concrete, following the package instructions.
Tamp the concrete to remove any air pockets. Overfill the holes at
the top and slope the concrete away from the post to keep water
from pooling. Recheck plumb and alignment of all posts and allow
concrete to cure for 24 to 48 hours (or timeframe established in the
manufacturer’s instructions).

Cutting posts to proper heights. An easy method to ensure your
post tops are level is to run a string from corner post to corner post
at the desired height, keeping the string taut (fig. 3). Mark each post
at the string line and cut off the tops of the posts. Finish off your
posts with optional decorative finial tops or post caps.
Panel Construction
fig. 1
This fence design uses a slotted bottom rail and a slotted
preassembled decorative fence topper. Set the bottom rail to a
recommended height of 2 inches above the ground. Secure to
the posts, below the slotted groove and ½" from each end using
fasteners. Measure 58-3/4" above bottom rail. Predrill holes above
the slotted groove and ½" from each end. Secure the preassembled
decorative fence topper to the posts using fasteners. Once both the
bottom rail and preassembled decorative fence topper have been
attached to the posts, slide the pickets into place. No backer rails
are needed because this kit uses slots in the bottom rail and the
preassembled decorative fence topper to support the pickets (fig. 4).
Level and secure the end pickets with fasteners to the post.

Finishing Your Fence
Applying a protective finish is recommended to prolong the life of
your fence. The type of finish will be determined by the look desired,
as well as the species of wood used. There are three finished
treatment options: stain, paint, or waterproofing sealer. Clean your
fence with a cleaner/brightener that contains a mildewcide prior to
applying your stain.
Stain - Provides a durable finish coat while maintaining the natural
look of wood. A semi transparent stain is recommended for new
fences. It gives an even appearance and a hint of color while
allowing the grain to show through.
Paint - Adds color as it protects and seals. The color can easily be
coordinated with your home. Clean, dry and prime with oil-based
primer prior to painting the fence. A durable exterior latex paint is
recommended.
Waterproofing sealer - Best for woods that are not naturally
resistant to decay and exposure to weather. The sealer helps prevent
rain and moisture from soaking into the wood. Add a UV stabilizer to
slow discoloration.
Care and Maintenance
Continuous changes in weather conditions are hard on your fence.
Your initial maintenance plan should be determined by water
absorption and loss, mildew growth and UV discoloration.
First-year maintenance - Reapply cleaner/brightener as described
in initial maintenance, as well as your method of finish (paint, stain or
waterproofing sealer).
Future periodic preventative maintenance - Depending on the
location of your fence with regard to direct sun exposure, foliage
coverage, etc., it may be sufficient to clean/brighten and recoat
every two years. A power washer may be necessary to properly
clean your fence.

Installing fences on sloped landscapes. Fences are installed on
slopes using one of two methods (figs. 1a and 1b). The step method
gradually steps up the slope with the rails level, rather than parallel
to the slope. With loose components, you have the option to use the
parallel method. The top and bottom rails are installed based on the
degree of the slope.

Preparation
Planning
The Euro Top Kit accents both sides of a 6’ fence panel. Determine
how many fence panels you would like to accent and purchase the
appropriate number of kits.
Euro Top Assembly
Cut two double keystone blocks in half along the middle groove.
Screw the cut pieces together using the predrilled holes to create
two single keystone caps. These will start and finish the fence run
(fig. 1). Take the remaining two double keystone blocks and screw
them together using the predrilled holes to create a double keystone
cap (fig. 2). Take two moulded cap rails and screw together using
the predrilled holes. Repeat with the second set of rails to yield two
keystone moulded cap rails (fig. 3).
Euro Top Installation
Step 1 Working left to right, install a single keystone cap at the start
of the panel using fasteners (fig 4).
Step 2 Place the first keystone moulded cap rail on top of the fence
pickets, flush with the single keystone cap (fig 4).

Applying a protective finish is recommended to prolong the life of your
fence. The type of finish will be determined by the look desired, as well
as the species of wood used. There are three finished treatment options:
stain, paint, or waterproofing sealer. Clean your fence with a cleaner/
brightener that contains a mildewcide prior to applying your stain.

Preparation
Check local ordinances and regulations before building your
fence. Before construction, contact your local utility companies
to mark any underground cables and pipelines. In addition, it is
a good idea to discuss plans with any neighbors along your
proposed fence line.
*Recommended fasteners are hot-dip galvanized
screws or other fasteners manufactured for treated
wood as required by building code.
**One per panel and one to complete fence run.
Design and layout
• Determine the number of posts, panels and gates needed to
complete the job based on the total linear footage. Take into
consideration post, panel and gate widths when determining the
• Adjust layout to accommodate as many full panels as possible.
If you must use a partial panel, place it in the farthest rear
corner of the property.
• Locate property boundaries and drive stakes into the ground
at corners and ends of fence line, based on local municipality
regulations.
Step method
fig. 1a
Parallel method
fig. 1b
• Stretch twine or heavy string between stakes and pull tight
to mark layout of fence line.
• Be sure to measure your fence panels and gates prior to
determining the location of the postholes. Also, take into
consideration your chosen method of attaching the backer rails
to the posts (see "Connecting backer rails to posts" section).
Locate post placement in the following order along string line:
• Gate posts
• Line posts
Installing fences on sloped landscapes
Fences are installed on slopes using one of two methods
(figs. 1a and 1b). The step method gradually steps up the slope
with the rails level, rather than parallel, to the slope. With loose
components, you have the option to use the parallel method.
The top and bottom rails are installed based on the degree
of the slope.

Digging postholes
A general rule of thumb is to place 1/3 of the post into the ground.
Check local regulations for any special requirements. The fence
will be stronger if end, corner and gate posts are set at least 6"
deeper than line posts. Using a posthole digger or power auger,
dig the holes 10-12" wide and 6" deeper than needed. Backfill the
Setting posts

Install end and corner posts first. Tie a string between the posts
along the fence line. This establishes a reference, ensuring the
posts are properly aligned (fig. 3).
10" - 12"
fig. 2
Brace the posts using 2x4s nailed to both the posts and stakes in
the ground. This will keep them straight while the concrete sets.
Check for plumb (90° angle) on two adjacent sides prior to pouring concrete. Fill hole with ready-mix concrete, following the package instructions. Tamp the concrete to remove any air pockets.
Overfill the holes at the top and slope the concrete away from the
post to keep water from pooling. Recheck plumb and alignment
of all posts and allow concrete to cure for 24 to 48 hours (or a
timeframe established in the manufacturer's instructions).
fig. 3
Cutting posts to proper heights
An easy method to ensure your post tops are level is to run a
string from corner post to corner post at the desired height,
keeping the string taut (fig. 3). Mark each post at the string line
and cut off the tops of the posts. Finish off your posts with
optional decorative finial tops or post caps.

Connecting backer rails to posts
• There are several ways to attach the backer rails or stringers
to the posts (fig. 4). Face nailed is the recommended method.
• Suggested positions for backer rails: Starting from the ground,
measure 5" and 28-1/2" (fig. 5). Mark these points.

• To install pickets to backer rails, use the provided fasteners.
Position pickets a recommended 2" above the ground. Start at
one end of the rail, placing the first picket 1-3/4" from the end.
Place the second picket 3-1/2" from the first picket (fig. 5).
• Continue adding pickets to the rails with 3-1/2" between each
picket. Use a level to check for plumb every few pickets.
