2. Installation of the fencing systems
1. Foundations
-To obtain the best result, it is advisable to level the ground over the whole length of the fence
-For correct positioning, maintain the centre-centre distances. The distance is determined by the
post system and the type of panel being installed
-Align the fence line
-To determine the dimensions of the foundations it is advisable to consult a specialised engineer to
evaluate wind load and solar conditions and any other factors requiring specialist opinion
(concrete quality directive B30)
-In case of direct installation the post needs to be supported as long as necessary

2. Installation of posts & panels
1. Square posts
-Installation principle: when placing square posts, first all the
posts can be placed and then the panels can be attached.
ALIGNING THE POSTS
Installation on an even surface
-Place a post before the first post of the fence and another
behind the last post. Connect those posts with two guide
ropes
-The lower guide rope should be between 20 and 40 cm above
the ground. Now align all inserts with the upper guide rope.
Installation on a sloping surface
-Place a guide rope for the same heights. In case of a
difference in height, place a supplementary guide rope at the
height of the upper insert.

PLACEMENT OF THE POSTS (USE A TEMPLATE)
-A template makes it much easier to place the posts correctly
-The template must be made by the installer and must have 2
recesses into which the posts fit perfectly
-Place the posts, correctly aligned (vertically and horizontally)
and with the correct distance between them. For end posts
and corner posts the distance is 3 cm smaller

-Place a clamp in the upper insert of the post and tighten the
security bolt halfway
-Now place an additional clamp in the lower insert and tighten
the security bolt halfway
-Repeat this procedure for all intermediate posts and finish
with the corner post
-Now place the bolts into the other clamps and tighten all
bolts completely and firmly
-Now cover the clamp holes with a cap

PANELS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER
-Connect the panels using
3 brackets per panel SLOPES
- On slopes extra fixators must
be placed
- Measure the area accurately
compared to the zero level
- Do this in different places
- The zero level can be
determined by means of a
laser or similar instrument
- Determine all differences in
height on the fence line
- For slopes of more than 15%
posts must be placed closer
together. Shorten the panels
and repair the ends with zinc
paint and polyester paint

2. Bekafix
-Installation principle: Bekafix posts are installed
according to the ‘post-panel-post’ system
ATTACHMENT OF THE CLAMPS
- Start by attaching one panel to a post on each side
- Hook the panel into the hook caps to help hang it up
- To attach the panel the panel is lifted from the hook cap and
a polyamide or metal fixator is attached below the upper nose,
so that once attached the panel no longer rests on the hook
cap. A second fixator is attached above the lower nose of the
panel. In between, a few additional fixators are placed. The
panel is attached using fixators and the Bekafix tong.
(Fastening with the tong is done differently depending on the
fixator type - see illustrations below). Position the fixators just
below a horizontal wire whenever possible. The lower fixator
should be located just above the lower horizontal wire.
- For extra security you can bolt the fixators onto the post.
Attach at least 1 clamp per panel side

PLACING THE POSTS IN CONCRETE
- The panel, mounted onto the 2 posts, is inserted into the foundation holes. The
panel must be aligned with the fence line. The panel height must also be aligned
- Fill the foundation holes with moderately wet concrete (not liquid). The
concrete must be pressed firmly. This will allow the panel to stand upright
without support (+ align height)
- In order to build the rest of the fence the next panel must be hooked into the
hook cap. The fastening is done in the same way as before
- The next post is placed in the foundation hole and hooked onto the panel
