Land Management – FAQs

Q: “Does the Legacy fence come in panels for me to install?”

A: No – the posts & rails are the same product and simply join together with an allen wrench connector. You order on a “per foot of finished fence” basis and we calculate how many rails, posts & connectors you need.

Q: “Are your bale spears good quality?”

A: Yes – they are very high quality, high tensile forged steel imported from Europe where they have been in use for many years.

Q: “Can I use your skid steer attachments on my older JD loader?”

A: Our skid steer attachments are all compatible with the standard “quick-attach” plate. We can however manufacture a custom plate to install to your loader (providing we have the working drawings for your loader).

Q: “How do I install the Legacy 440 fencing?”

A: Here are our DO-IT-YOURSELF installation instructions:

With a Legacy 440 Fence it is very important that you DO NOT dig all of your holes and set the posts at the beginning of your project. We at Legacy 440 Fence have found it faster and easier to install our fence one section at a time. (POST by POST)

1. Using a string line and stakes, lay out the line on which your fence will be installed.
2. Locate the starting point, dig your hole and set your frst post in the ground. Using the magnetic torpedo level,  ensure the frst post is perfectly plumb on all sides. (If this post is not plumb, none of them will be) Concrete post into the ground. NOTE: At Legacy 440 we use one 80lb bag of concrete per hole. (3-4 80lb bags for the 4” gatepost). See concrete manufacturer’s instructions for mixing directions.
3. Loosen the screws on all connectors.
4. Lay out the rails, posts, connectors and concrete for the fence you expect to install during the day.
5. Place the appropriate number of connectors and clamps on your posts.
6. Dig next hole exactly 10’ on center – depending on length of your sections. (Legacy 440 uses a template made of the bottom rail and a connector to be more accurate)
7. Place all the rails completely into the connectors on the frst post and let the opposite end rest on the ground. Be sure to tighten the screws on the rails to hold them securely in the connectors.
8. Place the next post in its hole. Starting from the bottom, place each rail completely into the connectors facing the frst post; tighten the screws to hold rails in the connectors.
9. Ensure the post is plumb and concrete the post into the ground. (If rails are not completely seated into the connectors your posts will be out of plumb)
10. Repeat this process until all sections are complete.
11. Once all connectors and sections are in place you are ready to give your fence the finished look you are after.
12. Using a string line, layout your top rail at the height you desire. Using the clamps move your top rail into position along the string. Step back and look it over to ensure you like the look. Make whatever adjustments you feel are necessary and step back to look it over again. When you are satisfed tighten all screws on the posts at the top rail and remove the clamps.
13. Space the lower rails in the frst section to meet your desired look. Once you have them set at the appropriate levels, tighten the screws on the posts and remove the clamps. NOTE: To make the process of setting the lower rails in place easier, cut a spacer to the desired length from a piece of wood. This spacer will be the distance between the top set of connectors and the next set of connectors.
14. Using your spacer, set all your rails to the desired levels, tighten the screws onto the posts and remove the clamps. You are almost done. At this point you are ready to trim your posts and install the cap. NOTE: If your connectors do not slide easily into place, simply loosen the screws on the rails that are in a bind. This will allow you to move the rail into place without scratching the fnish on your posts. Once the rail is in the desired position, re-tighten the screws.
15. Cut another spacer (we recommend 2”-3”) to aid in setting the mark to trim the posts. Mark the post and cut using a band saw or hacksaw.
16. Once the post is cut, place a small amount of silicone caulk on the unprotected edge of the post, insert the plug from the cut-off end of the post and install the cap. Use your rubber mallet to securely install the cap on top of the post.
17. IMPORTANT – Wipe away any metal fakes that have fallen on your rails to prevent rust from forming on your powder coating.
