The Do’s

• Do use a leveler, this will ensure perfectly plumb posts.
• Do gather all your tools before beginning and make sure they are all in working order.
• Do add gravel or crushed stone to the bottom of your postholes. This gives posts a solid base, but is unnecessary when installing in areas of heavy clay and rock.
• Do plan your gate placement before beginning construction to avoid issues with post and brace placement.
• Post should be 3 feet below the ground level to avoid dislocation of post due to high tension
• Every corner of field should be fixed with c – channel post , c – channel post should be installed at interval of 50 meter in straight length also to tension fence properly.
