Fence Installation Instructions -

POST REQUIREMENTSListed Below are the post specifications recommended for use with Ramm Fence products.Use round corner, end and gate posts even when using square line posts.

ALL WOOD POSTS MUST BE TREATED!

Post Type Post Diameter Length Hole Depth (12” diameter)

Line 4”-6” 7’-8’-9’ 32”-36”Corner 6” min 8’-9’ 36”-48”

Gate and/or Term 6” min 8’-9’ 36”-48”Diagonal Braces with footing 4” min 7’ 18” or below frost line

CONCRETE FOOTER REQUIREMENTSMix each 80lb bag of concrete according to the concrete manufacturer’s methods found on the bag.

*All concrete footer depths must be below the frost line for your area*If frost line is unknown talk with your local extension office.

Concrete volumes for post footers can very depending on hole size and soil conditions.

Northern states concrete requirements (approximate)(4) 80lb. bags for 6”X9’ corner/end posts•(4) 80lb. bags for each diagonal brace post (4”X’8’) or (5”X8’)•

Southern States and areas with mild weather (approximate)(no freezing temperatures)

(3) 80lb. bags for 6”X9’ corner/end posts•(2) 80lb. bags for each diagonal post (4”X’8’) or (5”X8’)•

Please follow directions for a long lasting installation that will not sag after tension is applied to the rails.

Proper bracing of corner and end posts is the key to a quality installation. Please note that all concrete footings need to extend past the frost line. All corner and end posts footers should have tapered bottoms as shown in the diagrams and diagonal brace footers should be squared off as shown in the preceding drawings.

A.Line post:typical line post with tamped soil (ground level indicated by dashed line)•The depth of the hole should be 36”-48” deep •The post will be cut off after the flow of the fence has been determined•

** Posts will be approximately 56” above ground

B. Gate/termination post:typical gate/termination post with concrete illustrated (ground level indicated by dashed line)•Note: end post should be set to lean 3/4” - 1 1/4” away from tension to prevent sagging•

** All footers must be below frost line

C.Corner post:typical corner with concrete illustrated (ground level indicated by dashed line)•Note: corner post should be set to lean 3/4” - 1 1/4” away from tension to prevent sagging•

** All footers must be below frost line

Step 1 Call local utilities Before digging (dial 811 they will mark your utility lines)

Step 2 Gather necessary tools- see page 2 for details

Step 4 Layout fence line perimeter (example below 60’ X 60’ perimeter)

Locate all corner postsA. Run string lines (dashed line) approximately 6’ past B. corners and stake (solid black squares) into ground as shown in sketch belowTo assure square corners use the 3’4’5’ triangle C. method cornerUse marking paint to mark each post location with D. an ‘X’ this should include all gate/end, corner, diagonal brace and line post locations.

When placing a gate in the a corner set the corner E. post to the outside of string line as shown in corner When/if running rails to the inside of an area, make F. sure that corner and end posts are inset so the rail can be run around the outside of these posts. This will allow the rail to run next to and past each line post (see diagram below)

Squaring CornersThis should be done on all corners and ends to square fence.



Step 5 Dig all line, corner, end and brace post holes using a minimum of 12” diameter auger. Line Post holes-A. should be approximately 36” deep depending on frost line

End/Corner posts holes-B. should be 36”- 48” deep (Fill hole with concrete to approximately 4” below ground level as indicated in diagram 1) Make sure that the bottom of holes is tapered at least 6” wider than top of hole. (The hole must extend below the frost line.)

Diagonal Brace post holes-C. should be at a minimum of 18” deep with an 18” squared face as shown in illustration

below and must extend below your frost line and be 70” from the end/corner post hole (center to center)

Step 6 Set line posts Place line posts into line post holes.A. Backfill holes and tamp with soil.B. Tamp soil around line posts. Do this by adding 3”- 6” segments of soil (tamp soil between segments).C. Continue tamping process until hole is filled to ground level around line postsD.

Step 7 Assemble termination and end posts as shown in the diagram belowPlace corner post into holeA. Cut 55º angle on the end of (1) brace postB. Nail Brace plate to the face of the 55º angle cut as shown below using (4) 3.5” nailsC. Nail Brace plate to Corner/End posts using (2) 3.5” nails (the top of the brace post should be 17” from the top D. of the corner/end post as shown belowFill holes with concrete to approximately 4”- 6 “ below ground levelE.

Let concrete cure as recommended by concrete supplier.F.

Step 9 Establish post top line for line for corner, line, and end postsRun a string line along each side of the perimeterA. Use a staple to raise or lower the top lineB. Mark the top line for each postC. Using a chain saw, cut the tops off of each post at the established top D. line- the top of the post should be cut (dashed line) at a slight angle approximately 1/2”-1” down from established top line to allow for rainwater runoff. (see diagram right)Treat the top of the post with deck sealer or paintE.

Place corner post into holeA. Cut 55º angle on the end of (2) brace postsB. Nail Brace plates to the faces of both 55º angle cuts of brace posts as shown C. in step 6 using (8) 3.5” nailsNail Braces plate to Corner/End posts using (3) 3.5” nails (the top of the brace D. post should be 17” from the top of the corner/end post as shown belowFill holes with concrete to approximately 6 “ below ground levelE.

Step 10 Mark tensioner and staple locations on all posts Make a template: measure down from the Top Line to determineA. your wire tensioner and rail layout.Using your template, mark each tensioner location B. Use a permanent marker to mark locationsC. This illustration is an example onlyD.

Step 11 Attach non-electric tensioners to termination and end postsAttach non electric tensioners to posts with (1) 5” nail as shown below A.

Step 12 Attach electric tensioners Attach tensioners to posts as shown below A. Attach Electric Tensioners with crimp sleeves and (2) staples as shown.B. **Insulation tubing required**C.

leave 3” of stripped wire for electric in and jump wire

2 crimp sleeves



Step 13 Run coated wire around your fence line perimeter

Run coated wire between end postsA. (a spinning jenny is strongly recommended to prevent kinks in wires)Staple coated wire to line posts making sure to leave enough room for the coated wire B. to move smoothly during tensioning of the wireUse a staple driver for easy staplingC. Make sure to insulate staple locations on electric rails with a 4” piece of tube insulation D. or an electric fence insulator

Step 14 Allow concrete manufacturer’s recommended time for concrete footers to cure then attach coated wires to tensioner drums and apply tension to your rails.

Using a utility knife or wire stripper, strip approximately 5” of plastic from the end of each wireA. Insert bare wire into the hole on tensioner spool and apply tension until all bare wire is wrapped on the B. tensioner spoolRepeat this process on other end of perimeterC. Tensioner are to be placed at each end post and are designed to tension a maximum of 1320’ D.

Step 16 Staple burial wire and jump wire to post every 12 inches as shown in illustration (right)

Step 15 Electric Fence Hook-up Cut a proper length piece of underground burial cable to use as a jump wire between electric tensioners.A. Use (1) crimp sleeve to attach the jump wire to the 3” of stripped wire on both electric tensioners B. Use a crimp tool to secure connectionsC.

Run underground burial wire (inside conduit) to termination post and up to the top electric tensioner Use (1) crimp sleeve to attach the burial wire to the remaining 3” of stripped wire on the top electric D. tensioner.Use a crimp tool to secure the connection E. Trim the remaining stripped wire from both electric tensioners.F.
