STEP 5: CUT POSTS TO HEIGHT (IF POSTS ARE NOT SET TO HEIGHT)
74-1/8”
6-1/2”
Ex. If the drop measured above is 1-1/2”, then add 1-1/2” to the
measurements for the brackets on downhill side of the post. The
upper bracket would be 6-1/2” plus 1-1/2” = 8”. The bottom bracket
would be 74-1/8” plus 1-1/2” = 75-5/8”.
A
Locate transition posts (posts where ground changes slope)
and string lines 75” above ground. This will create a 1-1/4”
reveal between post cap and top rail and 5/8” below the
bottom rail. If you would like more or less reveal, adjust all
measurements accordingly.
5C
To keep rails flowing smoothly on a slope, before marking and
cutting posts, determine bracket slope adjustment (if any) by
holding a bracket on the uphill side of post so that the bracket
touches the string line. Make a small pencil mark at the bottom
of the bracket. Now hold a bracket on the downhill side of post,
once again just touching the string line, and make a small pencil
mark. Using a speed square, note the amount of vertical drop
between the two marks. This measurement should be added to
the measurements used for mounting the top and bottom rail
brackets in STEP 6B.
A
Using (4) 1-5/8” fence screws, attach the rail brackets to the post as follows:
B
Using a pencil and a speed square, draw a line where the
string line crosses the uphill side of the post. Transfer this
line around all four sides of the post using your speed
square. Cut post to height using a circular saw.

STEP 6: ATTACH RAIL BRACKETS
B
Measure down from the top of the post 6-1/2”. This will mark the bottom of the
upper bracket. Measure down from the top of the post 74-1/8”. This marks the
bottom of the bottom bracket. Bracket should be centered on the post.
6C
When mounting the downhill side brackets on a sloped section, remember to add the measured
drop from Step 5C to the measurements before attaching the rail brackets (see above Tips section).

If the fence will run on an angle to the post, use rail bracket adapters to adjust the angle of the
bracket. Each adapter provides 22.5 degrees of adjustment. Mount the adapters with two screws
through the center holes, and then attach the rail bracket using four screws through the outer holes.
