Regardless of if you decide to do your gates or fence panels first, be sure to take the height relation between them into account before you get started. This should have already been decided and calculated back in Step 4, but be careful to make sure you don’t end up with gates and fence panels installed at different heights. If you have an elevated walkway or driveway, that can make for different spacing below the gates vs below the fence panels. So, before you accidentally install both with the same spacing underneath them, refer to your calculations and spacing back in step 4, so the two will line up with each other and the gates will swing freely. Part 1: Different Types of Iron Fence Brackets There are 3 types of iron bracket: Standard Bracket Angle Bracket Racking Panel 2-Tab Bracket Part 2: Self-Tapping Screw Installation When drilling your self-tapping screws in, you want to go at a medium to slow pace. Another key installation technique is to use a center punch or pilot holes in the post before you begin drilling the self-tapping screws in. While these are not always necessary, I find them to make the installation of the self-tapping screws much easier. When the drilling or cutting head of the screw pops through, you will feel the screw punch or push in. At that point, STOP AND SLOW DOWN. Once the drilling head punches through the post, the screw threads will cut the metal and pull the screw into the post. Part 3: Cutting Fence Panels It’s rare to have a fence installation without a few fence panels needing to be cut. Gate placements, property lines or following landscaping are just a few of the reasons you may not be able to use all full width panels. Luckily, its not tough to do and can be done without anything too fancy tool-wise. When cutting the fence panel, use something like a silver sharpie or masking tape to mark your cut. Be sure to mark your upper and lower rails. Pick your tool and cut the panel. If the cut isn’t perfectly straight, don’t worry. Once you slide your inch deep fence bracket on, you will not see the cut anymore. You will want to use a file or some kind of tool to clean off any burrs or lips from the cut edge. These can otherwise prevent your bracket from sliding on. Lastly, give the exposed rail metal a shot of the supplied touch-up paint to prevent rust. Once the paint dries, simply install the cut fence panel the same way you would install a full width panel. Part 4: Installing Standard Iron Fence Panels The standard fence panels are the 8ft wide ones that are welded rigid and do not rack to follow grade. The standard fence panels will install with either the standard bracket or the angle bracket. Installing the fence panels between the posts breaks down into: sliding your brackets on, positioning the panel and driving in your self-tapping screws. Installing the fence panels works best as a two-person job. You want an extra set of hands to stabilize and balance things while you mark and drill your self-tapping screws. To install the panel, you want to insert some kind of spacer under the piece to simulate the gap you calculated for under the panel. Slide the brackets on the panel and place it between the post. Mark your upper bracket screw holes and use a center punch or pilot hole. Drive your self-tapping screws in for the upper brackets but leave them slightly loose. Repeat the process on any mid or lower rails. Once all of the screws are partially driven in, check everything is still plumb and go back to snug all of the screws down. Part 5: Installing Racking Iron Fence Panels The standard fence panels will install with the 2-tab racking panel bracket. Installing the fence panels between the posts breaks down into: racking your panel, sliding your brackets on, positioning the panel and driving in your self-tapping screws. Installing the fence panels works best as a two-person job. You want an extra set of hands to stabilize and balance things while you mark and drill your self-tapping screws. Start by racking the panel to follow your desired rise over run measurement. Once the panel is racked, follow the same steps as the standard panel above.
