Tips To Start Yard Fence Installation (Step-By-Step Guide)

Steps to start fence installation in your yard for a safe and sound property

#Mark the property lines

You definitely want to mark your property lines before a yard fence installation. Unfortunately, many DIYs forget this!

For example, you may think, “this is where my property ends”. But it may work against you! Your residential fencing can be torn down and have to reinstall even for a two-inch difference.

If you do not want to feel embarrassed, measure and mark your property line. So, find your plat, collect your blueprints, or reach your local authority.

#Call utility services

You don’t want to anger a mob or county by snipping a water pipe or cable line. Well, unless you love paying fines! Or unless you want to be the neighborhood fool!

Hence, call the authority before you start digging for the yard fence installation post.

#Remove any obstacles

Are there tree stumps, large rocks, or likewise? This is simple & easy! Check if anything is stranded in the yard fence installation location.

Check for major slopes! You do not want that to be a headache later while installing fence panels.

Buying additional panels or measuring it all over again may not be your cup of tea.

# Stake the posts before starting

Find the number of panels you need by staking the posts. Start, just by walking across the fence line! Stake the ground across each of the corners, gate post, and panels.

Running strings between the stakes can give you accurate measures for your yard fence installation.

#Create a checklist

Make a list of all the materials and tools you need beforehand. Turning back for simple things will just waste your time.

For example, imagine you are staking the ground of every post, and you forgot the measuring tape. You have to wait until you go get one. Till then you’ll not find the number of panels you’ll need.
