This is one of the easiest installations in fencing.  However, if you do not follow these important steps, you will find yourself returning to the project to repair or replace the fence. 

1. Install the rails.  Make sure that both ends of the rail are fully notched. 
2. Make sure that both notches slide into the post and release on the inside of the post, preventing the rail from being removed.  If this does not occur, the rail may slide out of the post over time.
3. Installing the pickets.  Make sure that both ends of the picket are fully notched. 
4. Slide the picket through the top rail into the bottom rail, locking it in place.
5. Pull on the picket to assure that it does not come out.  If it does re-notch the picket.
