-Nylofor City is always installed with Nylofor F panels. The panels are
mounted with the pins on the bottom
-A top rail is mounted on top of the panel to have additional rigidity,
standard length 2505mm
-Neoprene strips are glued in between the top rail and the Nylofor F

2. Installation
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. (with a tolerance of
+/- 5 mm)
-The distance is determined the type of panel being installed
Panel type Centre-Centre distance
Nylofor 2530 mm
Rolltop* 3025 mm
Paladin* 2975 mm
-Align the fence line
-To determine the dimensions of the foundations it is advisable to consult a
specialised engineer to evaluate wind load, 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
2. Installation of posts & panels
-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 pin 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:
a mould of 2530 mm* needs to be used to see if the posts are
placed at a correct distance (measured center-center, with a
tolerance of +/- 5 mm)
-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
-Use a spirit level to ensure the posts are placed at the correct
verticle angle.

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 and
polyester paint
