Holiday Vinyl Privacy Fence Installation Tips

To ensure your vinyl privacy fence in Holiday is straight during installation, follow these key steps:

1. Use a string line as a guide for the entire fence run. Stretch a taut line between stakes placed beyond the end or corner positions, aligning it with the outside of the post locations.
2. Set up tension bars by hammering them into the ground and tying your line to them. This creates a visual reference for maintaining a straight fence line.
3. Call the customer outside to approve the fence line before proceeding with installation. This step ensures everyone agrees on the fence’s placement.
4. When digging post holes, use the string line as a reference to keep your posts aligned. Measure between each post to ensure you’re not exceeding the maximum width of your sections.
5. For sloped terrain, use the “step method” to keep each section level. When staking out line posts on a slope:
   • Measure horizontally from the previous stake, not parallel to the ground slope
   • Use a 2-by-4 to extend from the proper tape measurement to the ground for stake placement
6. When setting posts, re-stretch your string line as a guide. Use a level to ensure each post is plumb (perfectly vertical) as you fill the holes with concrete.
7. Regularly check your work against the string line as you progress, making adjustments as necessary to maintain a straight fence line.

By following these steps and consistently referencing your string line, you can ensure your Holiday vinyl privacy fence installation results in a straight, professional-looking fence.
