Default Distance between post holes for privacy fence

Matt Zack wrote:
Can anyone tell me how to layout the exact distance between the postholes
for a privacy fence with sections that are 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide?

This privacy fence has 3 rails that will fit into bored out holes on the
posts. If I set the posts in concrete, how do I install the pre-built
privacy fence sections into the posts???

Hope this does not seem too dumb...
All help greatly appreciated !

You don't set all the posts in concrete until you've put the rail
sections between them, or do them one at a time, not putting concrete in
the post hole until you've placed the rail section between the last
posts. This will also ensure that the distance between the posts is exact
I don't particularly like the construction you've mentioned. How do you
replaced a damaged rail section if they are inserted into unmovable
concreted posts?
