Installation Guide
7. If the concrete is not level, washers may be placed over anchor bolts and before shoes are bolted down to serve as
leveling devices.
8. Position the skirt covers over the shoes, covering the metal plates. Skirts must be inserted prior to posts being attached.
9. Attach the mounting brackets to the posts with fasteners in pre-drilled holes. For line posts, the upright straps will be
inserted into the channels of the post on the outside of the plastic, but for end posts, corner posts, and gate posts the
upright straps are inserted inside the steel in the center of the post. Each side of the strap gets three staggered screws
installed from opposite sides of the post for line posts and three each for ends and corners.
10. With the rst shoe anchored, and the post attached, determine and mark the next shoe position using a panel stiffener
as a spacer. It will measure 71.5” (for 3’ high and 6’ high) from the center of the next post and 1” shorter for a line to
a corner post. For 4’ high and 8’ high sections, it will measure 96” center to center.
11. Cut 7/8” of the bottom panel stiffer to accommodate the shoe strap and its screws. It is also recommended to remove
½” off the lower two feet on both sides of the panel edge to accommodate the shoe straps as well.
12. Mark and drill the holes for the next shoe.
13. Once all the shoes and posts are securely anchored to the wall and skirts are in place, insert the panels. Be certain that
steel stiffeners are in both top and bottom rails of each panel.
14. Finally, place the caps on the post for a nished look.
