How to Install Unipost Steel Posts
Installing your Unipost steel posts is straightforward and can be achieved using traditional methods or with the advanced Redi Driver tool for added convenience. Follow the steps below to ensure a secure and durable installation.
3. Attach the Fence Panels
Once your posts are securely installed, attach the fence panels according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all screws or fasteners are tightened properly.
1. Prepare the Area
-
Remove any damaged or old posts in the area where you plan to install the Unipost steel posts.
-
Clear any debris or obstacles to ensure a smooth installation process.
2. Choose Your Installation Method
Option A: Standard Installation (Concrete Anchoring)
-
Dig the Holes: Dig a hole 6 inches wide and 30 inches deep for a 6-foot-tall fence. This depth ensures the posts remain stable and secure..
-
Place the Post: Position the Unipost steel post in the hole and ensure it’s upright and aligned.
-
Secure with Concrete: Fill the hole with concrete to anchor the post. Check alignment and adjust if necessary while the concrete is still wet.
-
Allow Concrete to Set: Wait for the concrete to fully cure before attaching the fence panels.
Option B: Quick Installation with a Redi Driver
If you prefer a faster and more efficient installation, use a Redi Driver to drive the posts directly into the ground. This eliminates the need for digging and concrete.
-
Position the Post: Place the Unipost steel post in the desired location.
-
Use the Redi Driver: Operate the Redi Driver to pound the post into the ground. Keep the post aligned as you drive it to the required depth.
-
Verify Stability: Once driven, ensure the post is secure and upright. Adjust if needed.
