Once concrete has cured and posts are secure, insert mounting brackets into rails and physically
position panel between posts to establish proper height. Make sure the panel is level.
Note: Flat Top Panels should be positioned with top rail 1/8-in below post cap.
With Mounting Brackets inserted into ends of the rails (top and bottom) and panels in level position,
mark position of bracket holes on posts with chalk.
Note: Mounting Brackets should be positioned with the flange pointed toward the middle of the panel.
• Pre-drill 1/8-in pilot holes in chalk marks.
With Mounting Brackets inserted into ends of rails, secure brackets to posts with self-tapping TEK
screws.
Note: Attach both top ends of the panels before attaching lower brackets.
Secure bottom Mounting Brackets to posts with additional self-tapping TEK screws.
