The VersaPost can be installed with the posts exposed or hidden. With a hidden installation the stringers will be flush with the posts. If the post is going to be visible the stringers can attach on the outside of the post. A hidden installation will take a little longer because the stringers must be measured and cut before installation. Before beginning the fence installation determine whether the posts will be hidden or visible. Follow the appropriate installation instructions below.
