Installation
A. Having selected a suitable location,
dig two holes approximately 200mm
diameter x 600mm deep at hole
centres to suit your product (see Post
Hole Centre Chart on pg. 5). Place
approximately 150mm of coarse gravel
into the hole.
B. Place Posts into the hole. Push the base
of the Posts into the gravel until the
recommended height is achieved. We
recommend that the Spreader Bar of
your Supa® Fold is installed 50mm above
your typical user head height, therefore
the top of the Posts must be installed
30mm above user head height (refer to
diagram pg. 5).
C. Loosely fasten the Cross Brace to the top
hole in each Post using the M8 x 75mm
socket head bolts.
D. Support and check (using a spirit level
and tape measure) that the Posts are
parallel with each other and level, both
vertically and horizontally.
E. Concrete Posts into position. Concrete
should be damp enough to hold together
when squeezed in your hand. Pack the
concrete firmly and settle by poking with
a thin stick. Slope the top surface of the
concrete away from the Posts to provide
drainage away from the Post.
F. Re-check Posts are parallel and level,
then allow concrete to set thoroughly
for at least 24 hours before final product
assembly.

B. Place Posts in sleeves into the holes.
Push the base of the sleeves into
the gravel until they sit approximately
5-10mm above ground level. We
recommend that the Spreader Bar of
your Supa® Fold is installed 50mm above
your typical user head height, therefore
the top of the Posts must be installed
30mm above user head height (refer to
diagram pg. 5).

Hole Centre Chart on pg. 5). Place
approximately 150mm of coarse gravel

B. Your Adjustable Posts provide 200mm of
height adjustment in 50mm increments.
We recommend these are pre-set to the
middle position prior to fixing in concrete
(Refer to Fig. 4, pg. 10) This will provide
adjustment in either direction for future
height adjustment.
C. Place the Posts into the holes. Push the
base of the Posts into the gravel until the
recommended height is achieved. We
recommend that the Spreader Bar of
your Supa® Fold is installed 50mm above
