Before You Begin

  • 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.
  • You should not need excessive force when assembling components.
  • If you hit rock or unstable ground, you can concrete the pipe into place — either during installation or afterward.

Returns: Please let us help resolve any issues before initiating a return. If a return is still necessary, it must be initiated with the retailer where the product was purchased.

Step 1: Mark Post Location

If extending a fence run, run a stringline from the last full post to establish your new post's location. If supporting a gate, mark the post location per your gate's install guide.

Set a stringline to align the post with the fence run

Step 2: Drive Pipe Anchor

Parts Required

C x1

If using a post pounder, remove the top donut and slide it up over the pipe first — your post pounder barrel cannot be longer than 24in. Drive pipe anchor (C) into the ground at your marked location, checking for level every 12in, until the bottom donut touches the ground.

Drive pipe anchor C into ground, checking level

Step 3: Adjust Donut to Level

If you removed the top donut in Step 2, reinstall it onto pipe anchor (C). Check the pipe for level. If it is slightly off, pull the donut tabs outward and rotate the donut to shift its position and compensate. Need help? Watch our leveling donut video.

Reinstall top donut and adjust pipe for level

Rotate donut until pipe anchor C reads level

Step 4: Install Post

Parts Required

B x1

Slide post (B) down over the donuts. On flat ground, bury the post approximately 3in and compact dirt around it for added stability.
