For faster service, have your item number (ZP19041) 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 (ZP19043), you will need two finishing posts — one to finish the run, and one to support the gate. See next diagram for help visualizing.

Good

10-15lbs.
A basic option for very small projects. Requires two people to keep pipes level during installation.

12-30lbs.
Best for projects with fewer than 10 pipes. Available online or at hardware stores.

Best

Gas Powered Pounder
Rentals are ideal for larger projects. Significantly reduces time and effort required.

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: Before driving pipe anchors, check for underground utilities. In the US, call 811 or visit www.call811.com. In Canada, visit www.clickbeforeyoudig.com to find your provincial one-call centre.

Check your yard's slope early. If slope is greater than 3–4in per 6ft, you will need to split panels and purchase an extra post and set of 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 72in to determine exact pipe locations, measuring center-to-center.

Parts Required

A x1

Drive your first pipe anchor (A) into the ground. The bottom of the plastic ring should sit just above the ground when finished.

Parts Required

A x1

Drive the second pipe anchor (A) 72in from the first, measuring center to center. Check for level roughly every 6in. To help maintain level, pound the pipe equally from all 4 sides.

Parts Required

B x1

Install post (B) over your pipe, ensuring the tab is at the top. Using a wood block, pound the post so the bottom 3-4in is below ground. Repeat for the second post.

Parts Required

B x1

Optional: secure the post to the pipe anchor with (2) 1in self-drilling hex head steel screws (not included). This is worth doing if you're concerned about posts being pulled out of the ground — otherwise, move on to Step 8.

Parts Required

C x1 G x4

Install one rail bracket (C) on the first post, approximately 2in off the ground, using four ¾in self-drilling stainless steel screws (G).

Parts Required

C x1 F x1

Slide the second rail bracket (C) over the opposite end of the bottom rail (F) and rest the rail into the bracket installed in Step 8. Place a level on top of the bottom rail to determine the correct height for the opposing bracket and mark that height on the second post. Temporarily remove the bottom rail.

Parts Required

C x1 G x4

Using your marked location, secure a rail bracket (C) to the second post with four ¾in self-drilling stainless steel screws (G).

Installing brackets at a 90° angle?

Place the rail bracket on the post and mark the four hole locations. Pre-drill using a ⅛in drill bit for steel (not included), then secure with four ¾in self-drilling stainless steel screws.

Parts Required

F x1 G x4

Secure bottom rail (F) into both rail brackets with four ¾in self-drilling stainless steel screws (G).

Parts Required

C x2 G x8

Measure 18¼in up from the top of the bottom rail bracket and mark the position for the top rail brackets on each post. Install one rail bracket (C) on each post using four ¾in self-drilling stainless steel screws (G) each. Confirm that the bottom and top brackets are aligned to properly position the rail.

Parts Required

E x1 G x4

Slide the top rail (E) into both top rail brackets. Secure using two ¾in self-drilling stainless steel screws (G) per bracket end.

Important Note:

The top rail has picket holes on both sides; the bottom rail has holes on one side only.

Parts Required

D x12

Insert all 12 pickets (D) through the top rail, pushing each one fully down until it locks into the bottom rail. Pay special attention to the number on the bottom of each picket — pickets are graduated in height and must be inserted in the correct pattern (from the outside in: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1).

Parts Required

H x1

Press the post cap (H) firmly onto your post until it locks in place. For a permanent hold, secure with PVC glue (not included).
