BALUSTER TOP FENCE PANEL WITH
PREASSEMBLED FENCE TOPPER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Determine the number of posts, panels and gates needed
to complete the job based on the total linear footage. Take
into consideration post, panel and gate widths when
determining the total number of each.
• Adjust layout to accommodate as many full panels as possible.
If you must use a partial panel, place it in the farthest rear
corner of the property.
• Locate property boundaries and drive stakes into the ground
at corners and ends of fence line, 6" inside property boundary.
• Stretch twine or heavy string between stakes and pull tight
to mark layout of fence line.
• Be sure to measure your fence panels and gates prior to
determining the location of the postholes. Place posts in the
following order along string line:
• End/corner posts • Gate posts • Line posts
Fences are installed on slopes using one of two methods
(figs. 1a and 1b). The step method gradually steps up the slope
with the rails level, rather than parallel to the slope. With loose
components, you have the option to use the parallel method.
The top and bottom rails are installed based on the degree
of the slope.
