• Call 811 before you dig to check for underground utilities.
• Build one complete panel first, then drive all remaining pipes, attach posts, and build out from there.

For faster service, have your item number (ZP19084) and part name ready. Your original product box is also helpful if available.

Your panel comes with 1 post/anchor kit.

You will need 1 ZP19046 to finish the fence run. If you are installing a gate (ZP19085), you will need two finishing posts — one to finish the run, and one to support the gate.

Gas Powered Pounder

Tip!

Don't use a 5lb sledgehammer — it won't generate enough force to be effective, and driving the pipe turns into a slow, frustrating grind.

Start with one full panel — it's the best way to learn the process. Once complete, drive your next pipe anchor and build each remaining panel one at a time.

Important: Call 811 before you start driving your pipes!

Check your yard's slope early. If slope is greater than 3–4" per 6', you will need to split panels and purchase an extra post & brackets.

Place two stakes at each end of every fence run and tie string between them. Your pipes will be driven according to this line. Need help? Watch this video.

Use loose stakes or mark the ground every 72" to determine exact pipe locations, measuring center-to-center.
