How to Set Fence Posts With a Laser
- 1). Dig both corner postholes on a fence line with post hole diggers to accommodate about one-third of the post.
- 2). Place the laser level on any sturdy flat surface past the first corner post on the outside of the fence line. Level the bubble in the laser level by adjusting with the three knobs until the bubble appears in the exact center both horizontally and vertically between the two leveling marks.
- 3). Place one corner post in the posthole, and fill with concrete mix according to the instructions on the package. Wear approved safety glasses, and move the post so that the laser shines on the outside edge of the pole without touching the red laser line. If the pole touches the laser line, it will not shine any further but the light will shine on the pole.
- 4). Set the other corner post into its post hole, and line up with the laser in the same manner as the first corner post.
- 5). Dig line post holes with post hole diggers, and align each post in the same manner to achieve a straight fence line.
