TREX SECLUSIONS INSTALLATION GUIDE ® STEP 2: LAY OUT FENCE LINE A Mark location of all end and corner posts using spray paint. Place stakes and string lines so that the string runs along the outside edge of these posts. Property pin B Determine the location and size of each gate and mark the location of Holes Marking For Digging Post Holes Post Location (for 6' long kits) or 96" (for 8' long kits) from the marks made in steps A and B. This may leave a short section at the end.
TREX SECLUSIONS INSTALLATION GUIDE ® STEP 5: CUT POSTS TO HEIGHT Skip to Step 6 if posts have been set to height A Locate transition posts (posts where ground changes slope) and string lines 74-1/2” above ground. This will create a reveal as shown below. Adjust your height if desired. B Using a pencil and a speed square, draw a line where the 74 1/2" string line crosses the uphill side of the post. Transfer this line around all four sides of the post using your speed square.
TREX SECLUSIONS INSTALLATION GUIDE ® STEP 7: CUT & INSTALL BOTTOM RAILS A Measure between the post or for a more accurate cut, hold the A&B aluminum bottom rail next to the posts in line with the rail brackets, with the deeper pocket facing down. Mark the bottom rail to transfer angles to ensure accurate cuts. Cut the rail using a nonferrous metal cutting blade (Wear Eye Protection). Cut the rail 1/2” smaller to avoid scratching the posts during installation.
TREX SECLUSIONS INSTALLATION GUIDE ® STEP 9: INSTALL PICKETS A Notch the first picket in each section at a 45 degree angle, measuring 2” each A 2” direction. This will keep the picket from interfering with the bracket. Do not notch 2” the last picket until you know which direction it will face. If the posts are set at the max width on center, the first and last picket will face the same direction. For shorter sections, the first and last pickets may face in opposite directions.
