ALUMINUM FENCE 
INSTALLATION
1. Use a rubber mallet to drive the 
post top tops onto the posts. Be 
careful not to damage the post top. 
Starting with an End Post or Gate 
Post, Insert fence section into holes in 
post. Fence sections must be inserted 
all the way inside post holes to meet 
BOCA code.
2. Fill the post hole with concrete 
mix being sure the concrete extends 
below the bottom of post.
3. Plumb the posts and pickets while 
the concrete is setting. The fence 
section can rack allowing the rails 
to follow the contour of the ground. 
Brace the posts as necessary while 
the concrete is setting.
4. Fence rails will need to be mitered 
for corner posts.
5. After concrete has set, fasten the 
fence section to the posts using #8 x 
1” self-tapping screws. 
Be careful not to over-tighten to avoid 
screw heads from breaking 
off or stripping out.
