To keep her pets under control, as well as safe, Heather Hill has requested that an existing concrete slab be turned into a fenced dog run. Materials: Post hole digger
Several 50-lb. bags of quick-setting cement
Water
Level
Fencing system with poles and tension clamps
Fence ties - Determine where fence posts will be located, then use post hole diggers (figure A) to dig the holes (in this example, the holes were dug about 3' deep).
- Position a pole in each hole, then add a dry 50-lb. bag of quick-setting cement to each hole. Add approximately 5 gallons of water on top of the cement (figure B).
- Use a level to position the poles, then add tension clamps to the poles.
- Attach cross poles to fence poles, using tension clamps to secure. Continue until entire fence area is frame with cross poles.
- Allow concrete to set for 1-2 days, then stretch the fence between the poles.
- Insert tension rod into one end of fence section (figure C) and attach tension rod to pole using clamps.
- Pull fence toward other pole, determine where to cut for a tight fit.
- Cut fencing, then "unweave" the fence at determined length. Insert tension rod into end of section.
- Attach tension rod to pole using tension clamps. Repeat around whole area to be fenced.
- To secure the fence tightly to the poles, use fence ties every 2-3' at top of poles.
- Use fence ties in the middle and at bottom of fence poles to keep fence tight.
- Install preassembled gate, then attach gate hardware.
