When installing preassembled fence panels, you may need to trim the length of some of the panels to fit the allotted space. To cut a fence panel to length:

• Position the panel on the posts to see where it needs to be trimmed.
• Mark the location of the cuts on the rails (stringers), and trim as needed to fit the space using a circular saw.
• Cutting the protruding horizontal rails off of fence corners gives the fence a more finished look.
