Installation Instructions

Installing on Sloping Terrain

Caution: SimTek Fence is not engineered

for use as a retaining wall.

Installation on sloping terrain is similar to that on at terrain.

Professionals typically use a laser to shoot and obtain a grade.

1. Set the rst 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 38"

for 3ft, 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 steel stiffeners for spacing to set the distance for each

succeeding post.

5. Use a level on the stiffener to ensure panels will be level

when installed.

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

use our 142" long post. For more details and instructions call your sales representative.
