Prepare: How to Determine What & How Much

Measure the perimeter of your yard, but fi rst:

• Confi rm your property line. In order to get accurate measurements, you need to know exactly where your property line is.

• Locate underground utilities. Underground utility lines will affect where your fence posts can be placed.

• Research local zoning codes and restrictions. Some cities and neighborhoods have restrictions on fencing.

• Check for obstructions.

• Mark and measure your yard. (utilize the grid found on page 10 of this guide)Note: Where there are sections of yard less than 8 feet in length, panels will need to be cut down.

Now that you have selected your type of fence, you are ready to create a shopping list of materials and draft your task list.
