Installa�on Guide: Plan Your Fence each line by dividing the length of each line in inches by 96. Round any remainder up.
Installa�on Guide: Calculate Materials * For standard single gates (46 1/4” opening) : (1) small Trex gate panel, (1) steel post insert, and (1) Trex single gate hardware kit. * For standard double gates (130 3/4” opening) : (2) large Trex gate panels, (2) steel gate post inserts, and (1) Trex double gate hardware kit.

Installa�on Guide: Step 1: Determine Install Method 1. Step Method: This method gradually “steps” up the slope and the rails remain level. This may leave gaps under the fence. The downhill post will need to be set taller. Longer posts may be required. When laying out the fence post spacing, measure on a level line from one post to another. 2. Following the Grade: This method follows the grade or slope with the rails parallel to the ground.
Installa�on Guide: Step 2: Stake and String pins so that stakes will not be disturbed when digging holes, and approx. 4-5 inches inside of property pins to insure no encroaching on neighbors. 2. string every 96” in from the string to mark center of hole (see Fig. 1). 2” Notes: Laying out posts 96” 96” centers. o 90.2” (68 x 12” = 812” / 9 = 90.2” ) on center. Fig.
Installa�on Guide: Step 3: Dig Holes 1. Dig holes for the posts making sure not to disturb the stakes for the string. The string may be removed and replaced a�er holes are dug. The holes should be approximately 12” diameter and 30” deep (depending on local codes). Holes should be dug so that they allow equal amounts of concrete on all sides of posts ( ee ig. 2) Fig. 2 Step 4: Set Posts 1.
Installa�on Guide: Step 5: Cut Posts 1. Cut the tops of the posts f posts not set to ark all end, corner and height transi�on posts at 74 1/2”* ** above grade and string a line from these post ( ig. ) ark all posts and cut to the height of the string using a circular saw. Fig. 5 Typical Post Reve l If greater reve l is desired increase post height. **Refer to page 14 for measurements for fence heights other than 6�.
Installa�on Guide: Using 1 5/8” fence screws, a�ach the Fence brackets to the post as follows: A�ach a bracket* 5 3/4” down from the top of the post. A�ach a bracket 73 5/8” ** down from the top 5 3/4 “ of the post (see ig. ) If the fence is on a slope, the brackets on the downhill side will need to be lowered so that the rails flow smoothly. 73 5/8” Fig. 74 1/2” *Note: For angles use angle adaptors with the fence brackets. Each adapter provides a 22.
Installa�on Guide: Mark the aluminum bo�om rail, bo�om rail covers, and top length by holding them next to the post.* (see ig. ) for Cut the aluminum bo�om rail with a nonferrous metal cu�ng blade. Cut the aluminum 1/2” shorter (do not cut the bo�om rail covers shorter) to avoid scratching the post during installa�on. If the distance between posts is 91” the aluminum rail will not need to be cut. Cut top rail and bo�om rail covers with miter saw 4. Set the top rail in place over the brackets.
Installa�on Guide: Step 8: Install Pickets Cut two pickets to a�ach to the posts at each end. The picket sits inside the aluminum rail and should be cut to fit just below the top bracket (see Fig. 9). Insert the first picket into the aluminum rail, and secure it to the post using three 1 5/8” exterior screws (see Fig. 10). If the posts are set at 8’ on center, the first and last picket will face the same direc�on. For shorter sec�ons, the first and last pickets may face in opposite direc�ons.
Installa�on Guide: Step 9: Install Top Rail and Secure Pickets by star�ng at one end and se�ng the rail over one fence bracket gradually lowering over the pickets. Secure the top rail to the fence brackets using 1 5/8” exterior screws through the top of the rail at each end (see Fig. 1 ) Fig. 1 If the pickets are not all interlocked �ghtly: ull all of the pickets �ght towards one post (see ig 1 ).
Installa�on Guide: 3 . venly space the last picket (see ig. 1 ) and secure it through the top and bo�om rails with fasteners (finish nails or composite screws) (see Fig. 17). Place addi�onal fasteners through every other picket to prevent ra�ling. Fig. 1 Fig. 4. Place post cap onto the post and secure using adhesive or finish nails (see Fig. 18).
