POST INSTALLATION
STEP 1 -DETERMINE THE FENCE LINE, POSTHOLE DEPTH AND CENTRES
We recommend you plan your fence set out/post
posion on a piece of paper to save unnecessary
digging.
Accurately determine the boundary line to where
the fence will be installed, (in some cases a
surveyor may be required) mark this with a string
line as per the diagram below.
Determine your posthole centres using the table
below as a guide and mark out your posthole
posions on the ground with line marking paint.
NOTE-
Postholes can be dug by hand or with a mechanical auger. Use the foong depth table on page 5 to
determine your posthole depth and diameter.
Recommended foong depths listed here are for wind regions A & B plus terrain categories 2.0, 2.5 &
3. If you are building your fence in a cyclonic wind area, on top of a hill, adjacent to an escarpment, on
a ridge or in terrain category 1, you will need engineering advice beyond the scope of this publicaon.

POST INSTALLATION
STANDARD ‘POST CENTRE TO POST CENTRE’ GUIDE
The table below allows you to work out what
your post centres will be. If you have 1780mm
paling [allowing for 10mm either side for the
channel] and you are using 65 x 65 posts then
you will have an 1865mm post centre to post
centre.
This also shows the in-between measurements,
should you be ng your paling between posts
other than a 65 x 65 prole, i .e. mber posts ot
concrete blocks etc.

Please note that 1800mm is the standard height. Heights lower than
1800mm can be done using these components, with wastage.
!
IMPORTANT
For higher walls you will need
engineering advice beyond the scope of
this publicaon.
!
IMPORTANT
The diameter of your holes should be
large enough to have a minimum of
75mm clearance around the post.

When using vercal conversion kit, post centre may dier depending on desired outcome

IN-GROUND POST INSTALLATION
STEP 2 (A) - POST SETUP AND ALIGNMENT
Working to a string line on the face of the post, insert the rst post into the hole and gradually pour in
the concrete. Connually check the post alignment with a spirit level as the concrete is being poured.
Avoid using quick
seng concrete as it
can be corrosive to
aluminium posts
!
IMPORTANT
Allow 75mm min from
edge of post to edge of
ground
Slop top of
concrete away
from post (to drain
away water)
Set String Line approx.
5mm of post
Your string line should have a small amount of
clearance between it and your post. If you have
your string line always touching the post you can
risk pushing it slightly every me and the result
will be an ‘arc’ in the line of the fence.

FLANGED POST INSTALLATION
STEP 2 (B) - POST SETUP AND ALIGNMENT
Ensure that you have marked out the placement of your posts thoroughly. Failure to do so will cause
unnecessary holes in the surface of your concrete or mber.
The same principal of the gap between a string line and the posts works for both in-ground and
anged posts, this will ensure a straight line of posts. Refer to page 6 for a diagram of this.
Refer to the table on page 5 for the standard spacings required to house the palingw without the need
for cung bays down.
Fixing a anged post to the top of a
masonry block wall is not recommended.
This can cause the face of a block to
‘blow-out’

PALING CHANNEL INSTALLATION
STEP 3 - FITTING PALING CHANNELS
If your channels are not the desired length then these will need to be cut, ideally with a drop saw to
obtain a nice clean cut with out heang the aluminium to a point that it burns the powder coang.
With the use of a tape measure, string line/chalk line or if you have access to a laser level you can
mark the heights of the top of your slat channel on your posts.
NOTE - If your site has a sloping ground, it may be required that you step your fence from bay to bay.
Once a height has been established for all your channels, with the tek screws supplied, screw your
channel directly to your post whilst keeping the top of your channel to the marks you have made on
your post.
Your screws should be approximately 300-400mm apart down the length of your channel.
Make sure the post is elevated 10mm
higher than the channel to allow for a
post cap
!
IMPORTANT
The paling channel is asymmetrical, to
ensure your fence aesthecally looks
correct, make sure the “screw port
side” is all facing the same direcon
(Generally on the inside of your
property looks best).

PALING INSTALLATION
STEP 3 - FITTING PALINGS
The palings have a groove one side and a tongue the other so that they interlock when stacked on
each other.
Starng at the boom, slide and screw the rst paling into the channel with the tongue up. Then slide
the next paling in with its groove locking over the tongue, and repeat unl they are all stacked. Then
place the tongue cover over the last paling, and screw into place.
If you are doing a lower height than 1800mm, you will need to divide the height of your wall into the
number of palings you have to obtain closest number of palings.
NOTE - It is important to maintain both parallel and level within each bay. This will ensure a straight
looking fence.
This can be achieved by using a tape measure to check for the “Parallel” from either the top of the
channel or your starng point.

that’s required

COVER CLIP INSTALLATION
STEP 5 - INSERT CHANNEL COVER CLIP
Once all your palings have been assembled you can now install the “Cover Clip”to the channel to hide
all visible xings.
Make sure the cover clip is the same length as your “Paling Channel” then you are ready to go.
The easiest way to do this is to use either a rubber mallet or the rubber handle of your hammer. Insert
one edge of the cover clip into the channel then with the rubber mallet/hammer handle from either
the top or boom, Tap the other edge rmly, this will clip it into place. Work your way to the other end
unl it is all secured in place.
Cover Clip hides screw
heads once ed
It is important that the object you
use to tap the cover clip in with won’t
damage the powder coang.
Do not use the metal part of your
hammer, this will cause scratches or
dents.

FAQS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CAN THIS BE USED FOR POOL
FENCING?
Yes, however, the wall needs to be a minimum of
1200mm high.
hps://www.building.govt.nz/buildingcode-
compliance/f9-safety-of-users/poolsafety/
WHAT IS THE BEST METHOD TO CUT
ALUMINIUM?
For best results, use a drop saw with an
aluminium cung blade, this will create a
nice, clean, square cut. A grinder is acceptable
providing you use a thin metal cung blade to
reduce the risk of burning the powder-coang.
CAN THIS BE INSTALLED IN COASTAL
AREAS?
Yes, we have a 10 year warranty on our products.
If you are in a coastal zone then an increase of
cleaning and maintenance will be required.
We do not recommend the product to be in
direct contact with salt water.
CAN THIS BE USED FOR A
BALUSTRADE?
No, currently this has not been tested for
balustrade purposes.
WHAT DO I DO IF I HAVE ‘HARD
WATER’?
Regular cleaning of your fence will be required
to help prevent water spots from appearing.
Hard water is corrosive to the powder-coang,
therefore neglect will cause deterioraon to your
fence.
HOW DO I SET UP MY POSTS AROUND
ANGLES?
You will need to use two posts for this, the
channel system is required to be square to the
posts and palings, this can only be done with two
posts side by side.
