Instructions / Assembly

11) Next, return the wood rail into the bracket cradle, check level once more and
fasten the wood rail to the brackets with the wood screws provided in the bracket
kit.
12) Once the lower rail is secured, (for a 6’ high fence), measure approximately 48”
from the bottom of the lower bracket up the post and this is the mark for bottom of
the upper bracket to be fastened, then repeat the same bracket fastening procedure
for the upper rail as the lower rail, making sure they are level and parallel with each
other.
13) Repeat these steps to secure and align all of your wood rails to the Aluminum
fence posts in your fence project.
14) A third rail may be required in the middle of panel depending on the size,
style, and municipality the fence is being built in.
For Commercial applications, a 2x 6 may be used for rails.
15) Once all posts and rails are level and in line, you now have the framework to
build many different styles of wood fencing that fasten wood pickets to rails:
15b)
-Board to board fully private (one side nice)
-Board on board fully private (one side nice)
-Shadowbox Style 95% private (both sides nice)
-Shadowbox one side, board to board other side, fully private (both sides nice)
-Or, you can even build a Horizontal style fence from this framework.
16)The purpose of the side square opening in the bracket is to fasten the first and
last board to the rails nice and snug against the post leaving no gaps between post
and picket for a fully private fence.
17) If you have chosen a Traditional fence style with boards or pickets on both sides
of the wood rails, then you also have the option of installing the Slipfence Aluminum
Cap Rail to the top of the pickets for a straight linear finish.
Extra self-drilling screws to fasten cap rail are provided in the bracket kit.
18) To finish, Tap on the “self-tightening” Aluminum Post cap with rubber Mallet to
all Posts.
Post caps should sit approximately 2” above the top of the fence boards for a nice
clean look. Posts can be easily cut down with a metal blade on your saw if necessary.
19) GATES:
Gates can be added anywhere in the TAHOE Slip Fence provided the gate hardware
can fasten to a 3” Square Aluminum Fencepost.
20) Slipfence Gate kits are available to custom build your gate on site.
