Hello,

I am going to be installing a vinyl fence this weekend. I'm looking for
some tips. What is the best way to make sure the posts are all at the same
height? Also is there a trick to making sure the posts are perfectly lined
up? I'm concerned the fence will end up being twisted and facing different
directions. I'm up in central New York. How deep should the holes be? How
much gravel and concrete will I need per post? Lastly there will be a gate
connected to a brick wall. Any thoughts on how best to latch it to the
wall?

Any thoughts on these questions and anything else will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks...

Set a string across the line of the fence secured to brick wall and
beyond the last post. The hole depth will depend on how tall you posts
are, the fence supplier should be able to give you recommended depth.
Between 100-150 lbs of concrete per post is normal. (Again you can
check the supplier too) For the gate attaching to the brick wall, you
can either mount the hardware with a good set of anchors and bolts or
put up a post next to the brick wall and attach the hardware to it, the
later may be the easiest
