Instructions
Measure the area you will be fencing. You will need to place a T post every 6 feet along your fence line, so designate these locations with marker flags. You can purchase these flags at any home improvement or hardware store.
Hammer posts into the ground using sledgehammer. Drive them at least two feet into the ground to help prevent them from shifting and keep your fence secure.
Place your first panel against the outside of your first T post and attach it with a chain link connector at the bottom and one at the top. Add another panel next to the first one and secure them together with a connector at the junction of the panels.
Continue adding panels along your fence line until you have enclosed the area you wish to fence off. Make sure to tighten the fence connectors as firmly as possible to keep your dog from pushing the panels apart and escaping.
Turn your dog loose in your newly fenced yard and observe him to make sure he cannot escape. If he finds any weak spots or gaps in the fence, add another connector to keep him inside.
