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 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 stiffener, 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.
