Installing on Sloping Terrain

Caution: SimTek Fence is not engi-

neered for use as a retaining wall.

Installation on sloping terrain is similar to that on ﬂat

terrain. Professionals typically use a laser to shoot

and obtain a grade.

1. Set the ﬁrst post on the uphill side. Post

placement is important! Posts are typically

placed at the point where the slope changes,

whether in a peak or a valley.

2. The panel support brackets should be pre-

attached at 50" for 4ft, 74" for 6ft, and can

receive the down hill side of the panel at that

height. Once the slope and the drop per panel

have been determined, the bracket on the uphill

side should be adjusted to the proper height.

Panels will always be set level even on a slope.

3. Set the second post and make any adjustments

to bracket position.

4. Use a level on the stiener, placed between the

posts on the brackets, to ensure panels will be

level when installed.

5. For more information see illustration A and B.

A 6' wide panel can be stepped as much as 12" per panel. For steeper elevations you can

use our 142" long post. To reduce the gap under the panel, you can reduce the width of the

panel and add additional post. For more details and instructions call 1-866-648-9336.
