Step 2 | Marking out and digging post holes
Determine your post hole centres using the table below as a guide and mark out your post hole positions on the ground with line
marking paint
Marking out your post holes
Standard ‘post centre to post centre’ guide
The table above allows you to work out what your post
centres will be. If you have 1780mm paling [allowing
for 10mm either side of the channel] and you are using
65x65mm posts, then you will have an 1865mm post
centre to post centre
This also shows the in-between measurements, should
you be fiing your paling between posts other than a
65x65mm profile, i.e, timber posts or concrete blocks
Recommended footing depths listed in this table 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 escarpent, on a ridge or in terrain
category 1, you will need engineering advice beyond the scope of this publication

earth or clay
Wall Height Post hole depth

1200mm 550mm
1500mm 600mm
1800mm 600mm
Notes:
For higher walls, you will need engineering advice beyond the scope of this
publication
The diameter of your holes should be large enough to have a minimum of 75mm
clearance around the post
Please note that 1800mm is the standard height. Heights lower than 1800mm
can be done using these components, with wastage.
Step 1 | Lay out your fence line
a. Accurately determine & mark any legal boundaries and/or underground services (a surveyor may be required)
b. Measure out each fence line & mark the post positions
Determine post centres as follows
c. If the fence line length does not work out as multiples of the standard panel length, adjust the length of the last
section, or the last few sections, to suit & cut panels to fit
d. Use a string line or laser level to make sure any straight lines are aligned
Panel length +Post size =Post centre
E.g. 1800mm + 65mm = 1865mm

Step 3a | Installing the posts - In-ground
a. Place the post into the hole and set the height carefully using a tape measure or, preferably, a laser level
Caution: Ensure you allow enough height on the post to allow for panel height + ground clearance (suggest 50-100mm) +
additional 25mm for bracket & cap clearance
b. Fill the hole with concrete around the post, taking care to keep the post in the correct position
c. Check with a spirit level regularly to ensure the post is plumb
d. Ensure the post remains square to the fence line & does not turn as you lace concrete around it
e. Repeat steps a to d for all posts
f. Set the spacing of the posts at the length of the panel, plus approximately 5mm clearance (as per step one)
Tip: cut a spacer stick out of timber at the correct length between posts. The standard/raking/Axis panel brackets are 30mm
deep - so this allows for some adjustment if required, except where a PS1 is required

For bolt down posts
–For standard 65x65mm (and smaller) aluminium
posts, a fairly dry concrete mix can be used which
will hold the post in place without any bracing
while the concrete dries. However, the site must be
revisited before the concrete sets firm to recheck
post alignment if required
–Any heavier posts, i.e., gate posts, should be
concreted in place and braced until the concrete is
dry
–If the fence line follows any contours in the land or
the fence line is curved, regularly check the height
of the posts as you work down the line to ensure a
good visual line along the top of the fence

Paling channel installation
Step 4 | Fiing paling channels
If your channels are not the desired length then these will need to be cut, ideally, with a dropsaw to obtain a clean cut without heating
the aluminium to a point that it burns the powdercoating.
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
paling channel on your posts.
Note: if your site has sloping ground it may be required to step your fence from bay to bay. Once a height has been established for all
of your channels, with the tek screws supplied, screw your channel directly to your post whilst keeping the top of your channel at the
marks you have made on your post
Your screws should be approximately 300-400mm apart down the length of your channel.

Note:
Make sure the post is elevated 10mm higher
than the channel to allow for a post cap
the paling channel is asymmetrical.
To ensure your fence aesthetically looks correct,
make sure the ‘screw port side’ is all facing the
same direction (generally on the inside of your
property looks best).

Step 6 | Insert channel cover clip and channel caps
Once all your palings have been assembled you can
now install the cover clip to the channel to hide all visible
fixings.
Make sure the cover clip is the same length as your paling
channel, then you are ready to insert.
The easiest way to do this is to use either a rubber mallet
or the rubber handle of a hammer. Do not use the metal
part of your hammer as this may damage the powder
coating.
Insert one edge of the cover clip into the channel, then
firmly tap in the other edge along the length of the
channel until it is all secured in place.
One all the palings have been installed, we have an
optional cap to cover the profile of the paling channel.
These consist of a le and right hand cap.
Caps are just inserted onto the top of the channel.

Step 5 | Fiing palings
See vertical conversion guide on pg 9 to change the orientation of your fence.
The palings have a groove one side and a tongue on the other, so they
interlock when stacked on each other.
Starting at the boom, slide and screw the first paling into the channel with
the tongue up, then slide the next paling in with its groove locking over the
tongue and repeat until they are all stacked. Then place the tongue cover
over the last paling and screw into place.
If you do a lower height than 1800mm, you will need to divide the height of
your wall into the number of palings you have to obtain the 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’
with either the top of the channel or your starting point.

Fiing boom paling
Depending on the total width of the bay, the
maximum post width face to face is 1800mm.
Lay the additional slat horizontal and screw fix on either
end. Trim channel to the total length of the exposed
paling between posts. Screw fix this to the top of the
slat, this will become the base of the vertical palings.
Fiing vertical palings
Starting from one side, fix one paling against
one side and work across, making sure the
tongue and grooves are fully secured.
Tip: use a strap or similar close to the top of the post
to secure the inserted palings while installing

This document is only intended to be a general guide, as every property & situation is dierent. Any installation work, including the use
of power equipment is completely the responsibility of the person(s) installing. All persons using power equipment must be trained &
certified to use the equipment & must wear all applicable personal protection gear. Terranota Ltd cannot accept any responsibility for
any faulty installation or damage or injury arising from installation work.
What is the best method to cut aluminium?
For the best results, use a drop saw with an
aluminium cuing blade. This will create a clean,
square cut. A grinder is acceptable, provided you
use a thin metal cuing blade to reduce the risk of
burning the powdercoat.
Can this be installed in coastal areas?
Yes, we have a 5 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.
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 coating, therefore neglect
will cause deterioration to your fence.
Can this be used for a balustrade?
No, currently, this has not been tested for balustrade
purposes.
How do I set up my posts around angles?
You will need 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.
Frequently asked questions
Can this product be used as a balustrade over 1m
high?
No, as we do not have PS1 F4 Building
Documentation available for this product.
Can this be used as pool fencing?
Yes, however, the wall needs to be a minimum of
1200mm high. Please note however, we do not have
PS1 F9 Building Documentation available for this
product yet, which the local council may ask for.
