Installation Instructions

Step 5: Setting Posts
1. Set a post in the hole with concrete. Using a mallet or hammer, tap the post
into the concrete until the top of the post meets the desired height.
2. Fill the remainder of the hole with concrete. Using a level, check two adjacent
sides of the post. Two-way levels are useful. Adjust the post until it is both vertical
and at the correct height.
3. If using a dry mix method, rst place the post in the hole in the approximate
position at the bottom of the hole. Pour the dry mix in the hole, positioning the
post as soon as it is feasible.
4. Using the steel stiffener out of the panel is useful in checking that the panel will sit
level. Posts should be set at 72" on center for the 6' tall, and 96" on center for the
4' and 8' tall fences. (Please see chart for Corner Post and Gate Post exceptions.)
5. Do not move the post which is now in position. Leave the panel stiffener in place
for one hour minimum, as concrete begins to cure to keep the posts from moving.
Check that the posts are still level and have not moved. Allow the concrete to cure
for a minimum of 24 to 48 hours before installing panels.

Make sure post is straight, plumb, and evenly spaced
Note: All SimTek posts are reinforced with galvanized steel. If
posts need to be cut, we suggest cutting them at the bottom tip.
DO NOT cut the top of the post.
Cutting the top of the post will VOID the warranty
