How to Mount a Privacy Fence on Concrete
Installing a privacy fence on concrete is fairly simple. Home and garden stores carry a variety of stud bolts that can be used in concrete. These bolts expand inside a drilled hole in the concrete to anchor a equipment, machinery or other objects to the ground. With a few tools and supplies, you can save time and money by installing your home's privacy fence yourself. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Mark where posts will need to be attached to the concrete. For a straight fence, make marks at the ends of the fence and then snap lines using a chalk box. A laser line generator will also work.
-
2
Place post anchors at the marks. Lay the post anchors so that they represent how the post will be when installed.

3
Drill holes into the concrete with a masonry bit. The hole should be the same size as the anchor bolt.
-
4
Place the post with the anchor attached. Place stud bolt anchors in the drilled holes and tap them down with a hammer. The bolt should be tapped in until the stud bolt washer is all the way to the ground.
-
5
Tighten the stud bolt with a wrench. Once the bolt has been tightened, a sleeve at the base of the stud-bolt will expand inside the hole so that the bolt will become rigid inside the hole.

6
Attach the privacy fence material, such as wood, vinyl or metal, to the posts using the appropriate hardware.
