For faster service, have your item number (BL19101) and part name ready. A batch lot number (found on the end of the box) is also helpful — it assists us in identifying and resolving any production issues.

Your panel comes with 1 post/anchor kit. You will need 1 BL19042 to finish the fence run.

If installing a gate, you will need two finishing posts — one to terminate the run and one to support the gate. See the diagram below for reference.

Nantucket Fence, Nantucket Gate, and Finishing Post

Good

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

Better

Manual Post Pounder
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.

Note:
Choose a post pounder with a barrel diameter of 3in or greater. Pounder barrel cannot be longer than 24in.

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 and confirm your spacing before committing. Once the first panel is complete and verified, 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.

Hammer a stake at each end of every fence run, then tie string between the stakes. This line keeps your pipes aligned as you drive them. Need help? Watch this video!

Check your yard's slope before driving any pipes

For a slope of 3–4in or less per 6ft panel, no extra posts are needed. You can trim the top of the post to follow the grade once your panel is built.

For a slope greater than 3–4in per 6ft panel, you will need to split your panel. Purchase an additional post and set of brackets before continuing.

Mark the ground every 72in to determine exact pipe locations, measuring center-to-center.

Parts Required

A x1

Before driving your pipes, remove the top donut from pipe anchor (A) by pulling the tabs to unlock and lifting the top donut free. Need help? Watch our leveling donut video.

Parts Required

A x1

Drive pipe anchor (A) into the ground at your first marked location, checking for level roughly every 6in. To stay level, pound equally from all four sides. Continue until the lower gear touches the ground. Repeat for the second pipe — center-to-center spacing must be 72in.

With both pipes in the ground, reinstall the top donut onto each pipe anchor (A) one at a time. Check each pipe for level. If a pipe is slightly off, pull the donut tabs outward and rotate the donut to shift its position and compensate. Refer to the donut leveling video in Step 4 for help.

Parts Required

B x1

Slide post (B) down over pipe anchor (A). On flat ground, bury the post 3–4in to avoid a floating look.

Installing at a non-standard angle? Watch our angle bracket guide before placing your brackets.

Parts Required

F x1 G x4

On your first post, measure 2in up from the bottom of the post and 1⅛in in from the front edge. Mark this position, then align bracket (F) to your mark and secure it using (4) screws (G). This is your bottom rail bracket.

Parts Required

D x1 F x1

Slide one end of the bottom rail (D) into the bracket you just installed. Without driving any screws, loosely place a second bracket (F) over the open end of the rail on the second post. Use a level to confirm the rail is level, then mark the bracket position on the second post. Remove the rail and bracket — do not secure anything yet.

Parts Required

F x1 G x4

Using the mark you made in Step 9, align bracket (F) on the second post and secure it with (4) screws (G).

Parts Required

D x1 G x4

Slide the bottom rail (D) into both brackets. Once seated, secure the rail to each bracket using (4) screws (G) — (2) per bracket side.

Parts Required

F x1 G x4

On your first post, measure 33in up from the top of the bottom rail and mark the position. Align bracket (F) to your mark and secure it to the post using (4) screws (G). This is your top rail bracket.

Parts Required

C x1 F x1

Slide one end of the top rail (C) into the bracket you just installed. Without driving any screws, loosely place a second bracket (F) over the open end of the rail on the second post. Use a level to confirm the rail is level, then mark the bracket position on the second post. Remove the rail and bracket — do not secure anything yet.

Parts Required

F x1 G x4

Using the mark you made in Step 13, align bracket (F) on the second post and secure it with (4) screws (G).

Parts Required

Slide the top rail (C) into both brackets. Once seated, secure the rail to each bracket using (4) screws (G) — (2) per bracket side.

Parts Required

E x13

Insert all (13) pickets (E) through the top rail, pushing each one firmly down until you hear and feel it lock into the bottom rail. Don't be afraid to use muscle — you will not break the vinyl.

Parts Required

H x1
