Instructions

    • 1

      Lay out your fence panels in the shape you're planning for the fence configuration. Lay the panels next to each other, with the pins lining up to the attaching panel.

    • 2

      Stand two fence panels up next to each other. You may need another person if the panels are heavy. The two sides should be matched up by having the one side with the pins, and the other side with the connecting hinges.

    • 3

      Pull the two fence panels together to line up the pins with the hinges, and slide the pin through the hinge. A pin and hinge are at the top of the panel, and a pin and hinge at the bottom. Make sure both pins are secure in the hinges.

    • 4

      Attach the remaining fence panels. Once the first two are connected, bend them so they stand on their own.

    • 5

      Wire each fence panel tightly together, top and bottom, for added security in case the pins should slip from the hinges. Wire them only after they are in the final position, and use your fencing tool to make sure the wires are tight.
