Layout the corner post.
Insert the top rail (holes on both sides of rail) into the top hole on
corner post ensuring that the holes in the rail are facing the other
hole in the corner post. This is critical to ensure proper orientation
for ultimately inserting pickets.
Insert the bottom rail (holes on one side) into the bottom hole
on corner post. Ensure that holes in the rail are facing the other
hole in the corner post.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the remaining top and bottom rails as
illustrated in the remaining two holes on the other side of the
corner post.
Insert the remaining open rail ends into the two end posts and push
past the locking tabs to create the “frame” of your corner picket.
Determine the desired location for your corner picket, and dig
three 12” deep holes using the distances as illustrated. Set the
completed “frame” into the holes and check each rail for level.
At this time, you may need to adjust the depths of the holes.
Use a level to check each post and once you are satisfied with the
orientation, fill in the holes (cement is optional, but recommended).
Starting with the 23” pickets, slip each one down through the
top rail and into the bottom rail on either side of the corner post.
Note: The tabs on the end of the pickets go into the bottom rail.
As in step 6, slip each of the remaining pickets through the next
five holes on either side of the corner post. Insert the pickets in
decending order, ending with three 18” pickets on each side.
