Step 6: Installing Fence Panels
1. Panel support brackets must be attached to all posts.
2. Be certain steel stiffeners are inserted in the top and
bottom rail of each panel; they come installed from the
factory, but may have been removed to use as post spacers
while installing posts.
3. EcoStone six foot panels are universal, with no front or back,
and no top or bottom edge. This allows you to create a mixed
design for a better aesthetic effect.
4. Ashland six foot panels have a top and bottom which can be
identied by the black plug in the rail. Be sure to install panels
with black plug on the bottom.
5. Lift the panel bottom edge to approximately 4' off the
ground. Have one person ex the next post outward until
the groove will receive the panel. Once the section is in the
channel, ease the panel down onto the support brackets.
6. Install caps over the posts.
7. Caps are pressure tted making securing them typically
unnecessary; however, a 3" deck screw can be driven through
the top of the cap into the middle of the post if desired.
Step 7: Securing Panels
1. Panels must be attached to all six foot gate posts,
end posts, and corner posts.
2. To prevent unauthorized panel removal, you can
drive one fastener per panel through the panel
edge into the post. You should only use one
fastener per panel.
3. Caution: Never attach both sides of the panel to
posts. Polyethylene has a degree of thermal
expansion and contraction.
#14 Hex Washer Head,
3" Self Tapping Screw
Fasteners should attach
panels to end post, gate
post, and corner post
Note: Never attach both sides of any panel to posts.
DO NOT cut the steel stiffeners, unless you are cutting the panel to
accomodate a narrower section.
NOTE: for 8' panel and gate install, see page 14.
