IMPORTANT TIPS
1. Be sure to thoroughly review these instructions before beginning to install your fence.
2. Prior to purchase and installation, check with your local regulatory agency for special code requirements in your
area and contact your utility supplier to locate and mark underground lines before digging.
3. Prior to purchasing, determine your method of installation (straight, sloped, stepped or a combination). Your
method of installation will depend on the slope/grade change in your yard and the style of fence. See page 4 for
more information.
4. Sketch out the layout of your fence and calculate the number of panels, gates and posts required (to finish a
fence run, one extra post is needed). Careful planning and measuring of your fence is essential, since it is not
possible to move the posts after the concrete sets.
5. Measure and assemble your gates first to determine the width of the gate opening (including space for
hardware). Be sure to allow enough clearance on the bottom of the gate to allow it to swing freely. Failure to do
so may result in a poor installation of the entire fence since the gate will set the height for the rest of the fence.
6. When installing your fence or gate, we recommend installing 1 post and section at a time.
7. We recommend allowing a minimum 2" clearance between the bottom of the panel and the ground. Resting the
bottom rail on a 2x4 to keep it level while assembling the panel, will also make it easier to insert the pickets.
8. We do not recommend gluing post caps in the event you want to upgrade to a different style or need to replace
batteries or wiring at a later time. Instead, use a small amount of clear silicone on the inside corner of post cap
to secure the cap to the post.
MAINTENANCE
Like all outdoor products, vinyl fencing will have dirt exposure from atmospheric conditions. Ordinarily, normal
rainfall will be adequate to wash the vinyl. If a more thorough cleaning is required, follow these simple instructions:
1. To clean the fence, simply wash it down with soap and water.
2. For hard to remove dirt, clean the fence using a formula of 1/3 cup powdered detergent, 2/3 cup
household cleaner and 1 gallon water. Rinse thoroughly.
3. For stain removal, you may use lacquer thinner or soft scrub with bleach. Do not scrub vigorously as this
may damage the finish. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with water immediately after using either of these.
