Product Overview: Top Rail ProLock™ Locking Strip Post Top Middle Rail Punched Holes Pickets Post Bottom Rail ProLock™ Locking Strip
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. • To mark all other posts for 6' sections using 2" posts: from the center of an end point, measure 72 3⁄4" and mark with stake. 723⁄4" NOTE: If you are left with a space less than a full panel, the panel can be cut down to fit the space by using a hacksaw.
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 (Gate Post) 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 3 CAUTION: Do not install all posts first. Installation should proceed postpanel-post-panel… As the gate post (or corner) is setting up, install the first fence panel. Insert the horizontal rails from the panel into the punched holes from the previously installed post. Place the rails as far into the post as they will go. 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.
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 Hang gate to post. Make sure the horizontal rails of the gate are at the same level as the horizontal rails of the fence panels. Do this by either lifting gate by hand, or by inserting temporary spacer blocks under the gate to keep gate in place while mounting it to gate post. 4 Drive two 11⁄4" self-tapping screws through upper hinge into post (use the inside holes on the hinge). Repeat for bottom hinge. Screw additional eight screws into hinge. Install latch per instructions (Varies by style).
