Instructions / Assembly

stack of boards in your fence panel. (A 6 foot high fence will take 13 or 14 boards
stacked.)
LEVEL GROUND:
If the ground is fairly level you can leave the flat board that was used to level the
bottom of the channels in place and start your base board at this level. This will
provide a 1” lift of your bottom board off the ground.
ON A HILL:
If the ground is not level and one end of you panel has a gap from the bottom of the
board to the ground you can do 2 things to reduce that gap:
a) Take the earth that was dug out of the post hole and spread it along the bottom
underneath the base board where the gap is.
b) Dig out some of the earth from the side of the base board that is closest to the
ground until the base board is level and there is little gap underneath.
c) Shorten the space between the posts so the level step sections are shorter and the
gap can be covered more easily by these two methods.
d) If there is a large gap under one side of the panel; keep the flat board laying on
the ground, level your base board on top of this board and measure the gap on the
wide end between the flat board laying on ground and the bottom of your base
board and the length of where the base board touches the flat board. Then remove
the base board and create a wedged board or boards to be fastened to the bottom of
this base board using screws and glue. Once this new base board has been created
and dried insert it into the bottom as your base board again and it should now be
level on top and close in the gap on the bottom.
9) Install all of your base boards in your fence line before starting to stack the other
boards in the panel. This will keep the posts level in your fence project during
installation and prevent them from pulling toward the finished panel.
9) Once the base board is secured with stainless wood screws provided, slip in three
or four boards into the channels on top of the base board throughout the fence line.
Securing these few boards with wood screws as they stack to reduce the overall
weight of the full stack of boards on the bottom base board.
***IMPORTANT*** (Do not stack or finish one full panel at a time. This could pull
posts toward the finished panel.) Create a low stack, for each panel in the fence line,
(4 boards), then mid height, (another 4 boards), then top, (last 4 or more boards)
until the desired height of you fence is met.
