Fence Layout and Measurements

The fence installation process
- Digging holes and setting posts– Before installing a fence the contractors must visit your property to dig holes for the fence posts. Since these holes help prevent the fence from shifting or collapsing.
- Post setting- In this process, either concrete or galvanized post brackets can be used to protect the base of the posts. Be sure to ask the contractors whether they will be using post brackets or setting the posts directly in concrete.
- Installing the borders- Here the contractors will install rails, panels, or pickets to complete the fence
- Finishing and cleaning up after installation- After the installation process, crew should make sure that the surrounding is cleaned and no visible defects are in the fence material.

The fence installation timeline may differ depending on numerous factors.
For example, yard size, terrain, weather, material availability. But in general, from initial consultation process to final clean up it will take 3 to 7 days, depending on the project we get.
