Product Overview: Top Rail Locking Strip Post Top Middle Rail Notch Pickets Post Bottom Rail Locking Strip
7213⁄16" Layout installation • Using the worksheet as a guide, establish your fence line by staking out the areas you wish to enclose. Locate each point in which you will need an end, corner or gate post and mark it with a stake. For 6' sections using 2" posts (Actual Panel size is 71") (Center to Center post distance is 113⁄16" wider than panel) • To mark all other posts: For 6' sections and using 2" posts: from the center of an end point, measure 72 13⁄16" and mark with stake.
3 Make sure arrows on locking strip point towards rail above and place/snap in bumps from locking strip into the holes of the pickets for all rails. If the fence panels were cut shorter, then the locking strip will have extra length at the end of the install. Use scissors or a knife to cut excess off, leaving approximately 2" of strip after last engaged bump. 4 Slide rails over locking strips. Push first picket into bottom rail, then the second, folllowed by the third, etc. until the last picket.
First Post Installation 1 2 Use a rubber mallet to gently drive the post tops onto the posts. Be careful not to damage the post top. Mix the concrete on the dry side to allow the posts to set faster. See chart below to determine the minimum depth for your fence. NOTE: In areas where ground frost occurs, the concrete footing should be extended below the frost line (generally 12" below). This will account for frost "heave, in which ground water freezes and expands upwards.
Panel / Post Installation 1 CAUTION: Do not install all posts first. Installation should proceed postpanel-post-panel… NOTE: It is a good idea to have the next post hole in the run already dug when attaching panel to the previous post (and have the 6" of gravel inside). 2 Place the next required post (line/corner/end) into the dug hole, and slide the post onto the rails of the panel as far as possible. Pour concrete around that post and tamp down, leaving concrete about 2" from ground level.
4 Once four or so panels are installed, check to make sure all posts and panels are still level. If a correction needs to be made, use a rubber mallet while the concrete is still somewhat soft. Gate Installation 1 Self closing hinges are included with all gates. Make sure hinges are set in the proper direction to accommodate either left or right handed gates or provide an inside or outside swinging gate.
3 5 Once the concrete has completely set around the gate post(s) (may take 5-7 days), gates may be hung. Set the hinges on the gate. Line up the top of hinge with top of top gate rail. Line up bottom of bottom hinge with bottom of bottom gate rail. Drive two 11⁄4" selftapping screws through upper hinge into gate (use the inside holes for this step). Repeat for bottom hinge. Drive two 11⁄4" self-tapping screws through upper hinge into post (use the inside holes for this step). Repeat for bottom hinge.
