How to Install the Imperial Style |
Imperial Pricing: 3' | 4' | 5' | 6'
 Drilling the holes is always the hardest part. The hard clay soil of late August can make this first step quite difficult. Bill Dye of Hoover Fence is using a "Little Beaver" to help out. |
Here we see Bill actually
leaning on the auger. Of course this job can be accomplished using a hand-held post
hole digger, but Bill has worked for us for years, and
has earned his PHD, trust me. |
 This is a closeup shot of the routed mid-rail. This assembly really is quite easy. It can be a one-person job. Bill did all the sweatin' and I caught it all on film! |

 Then the pickets simply slide in through the mid-rail and into the pre-routed bottom rail. |
Just doing some final leveling of the section before firmly tamping in the posts. |
 A shot of the level on the top rail. This is done to make the section square with the posts, but these sections can actually be "racked" meaning that they can slope to follow the contour of the ground if necessary. We can also order non-routed posts, if a "stair-step" method is preferred. Click here for more details on "racking and stair-stepping". |

 The finished post, after we (well, Bill actually) finished filling in the holes with topsoil. |
