To obtain the best result, it is recommended to level the ground over the
whole length of the fence
Align the fence line
For correct positioning, maintain the centre-centre distance of 2520mm
For end posts, the interdistance should be 2500mm
To determine the dimensions of the foundations it is recommended to
consult a specialized engineer to evaluate wind load and solar conditions and
any other factors requiring specialist opinion (concrete quality directive B30)
In case of instant installation the post needs to be supported as long as
necessary

C-C 2520 +6/-6mm

12 10/02/11 – O-LOX Installation Manual
Installation principle: when installing O-LOX, first
all the posts can be placed and then the panels
can be attached
ALIGNING THE POSTS
Place a pin before the first post of the fence and
another behind the last post. Connect those pins
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. The bottom of the
panel should be around 50mm above ground
level.

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.
Install the posts so that the clearance between panel and floor is 50mm
While the post is installed, make sure no water can stay inside the post. If
the ground is impermeable, provide a drain hole on site.

All Betafence panels and posts are maintenance free but it is recommended
that the fence line would be checked every 4 months to make sure that all
the connection screws are tightened and all the posts caps are in place. If
screws or post caps are missing or broken those should be replaced or
tightened immediately
If there are visible scratches / damages on the coating, those should be re-
sprayed immediately with a similar color paint
If necessary the fence and posts can be washed with a light soap water and
rinse afterwords with a low water pressure
