While the fence panel is being held in place get your cordless drill with the appropriate bit and self tapping screws provided. Then starting with the top brackets screw them to the posts; next do the bottom brackets. HELPFUL HINT: Check the fence run every couple of panels as you are installing it to ensure that the rails are matching up. This will give you a nice flow to the fence and make it look continuous.

Cut Sections. With most installations there will be an fence line that will not fit a full section and it will need to be cut. This is a simple task and can be accomplished with a hacksaw. A section can always be trimmed down but cannot be easily extended to fit. Attaching To A Wall. The above picture shows wall brackets attached to the corner of a brick house.
Wall brackets are very useful in this application and also when you want to attach to columns, wood, or blank posts. Installing On Concrete. To install a fence on top of a concrete pad you will need to either core drill or use concrete anchors in conjunction with a welded plate on your post.
