How to attach fence panels to posts
Solid fence posts are the foundation for a good installation!
Adding a new fence to your farm or ranch property is an excellent way to enhance security and manage livestock.
Fence panels offer a quick, convenient, and cost-effective solution for erecting sturdy agricultural fences.
These versatile fencing options are suitable for both temporary and permanent applications, making them a preferred choice among farmers and ranchers.
Let’s explore how to install a fence panel for your property.
Do this before you install a fence or panel
Prior to an installation, we recommend you inspect your property for underground utility lines, as digging post holes improperly could lead to unwanted damage.
Select your posts, measure & dig
You can choose between wooden fence posts or metal posts, depending on your preference or budget.
Once you’ve chosen the type of fence post suitable for your installation, it will be time to dig post holes.
Generally, you will have to dig a hole that is at least 1/3 of the total length of your post. However, this can change depending on the conditions of the soil you will be digging on. Additionally, proper spacing between your posts will yield a stable fence.
Tools like a post hole digger are an efficient way to dig faster.
Don’t forget! STAY-TUFF solutions allow for greater post spacing than other brands, saving you money. Check out our catalog of solutions.
Time to attach your panels!
Attaching your panels, much like any other type of wire fencing, will require you to go through different steps or stages.
After setting your posts and creating your braces, the next step of your installation would require you to tension your wire panels and splicing them, if needed.
Affixing with clips and joining remaining wires using the appropriate tools is also necessary.
