Instructions / Assembly

NOTES
There will be a half sized fence-board hole on one side of each stringer, make sure
that these half board holes are in line with both the top and bottom stringers so the
boards will slip in nicely through each board hole in the top and bottom stringer.
Note: Once you place the half board holes on one side of the fence it is advisable to
keep the half board holes on that same side of the fence to maintain a clean
consistent look to both sides of the fence throughout the whole project.
TIPS
Make sure that the Half board hole in your stringers align with the dome side of your carriage
bolt used to hand tighten the bracket onto the post so that the half board can slide easily
into the half hole opening on each end of your stringer without being impaired by the grip
nut. See image on step 8.
If the Long Carriage bolt doesn't provide enough threads for the nut to catch, then loosen
the smaller bolt's nut so the bracket is not distorted and try again. You may need to clamp
down the bracket seat to get the nut to catch. Longer bolts are available at
Tahoeslipfence.com if required.
STEP 9 – Align Stringers
If you are installing a level section step style fence, at this point, place a level on both the
bottom and the top stringers and adjust both bracket heights to level and then tighten all
four brackets to the posts.
