- Locate Property Lines - It is important to have your property lines accurately marked
so that you can properly layout your fence and be sure you are not infringing on your neighbors property.
- Check Local Bylaws - Do check local bylaws to see if building permits are needed and
to find out if there are any restrictions on fence height or frontage requirements.
- Call Before You Dig - THIS IS IMPORTANT! Make sure you call your local
utilities companies and have them mark any buried cables or pipes. This is also needed so that you can accurately
lay out your fence.
- Plan Your Fence - Do a scale
drawing of the underground utilities and any other permanent
fixtures. The draw where the proposed fence is to be located.
A little attention to details at this stage can save you from
costly mistakes later on and it also makes it easier to order
materials.
- Install Fence According to our Step-By-Step
instructions

NOTE:A low RPM mitre saw with a carbide tipped blade is ideal for
cutting the product to length and it produces a much cleaner, burr-free edge and therefore a much more professional looking job.
