2.1. Post Selection
It is important to consider post selection at the
beginning of an AG-fit project install. The AG-fit posts
are available in a variety of different widths and lengths,
to ensure that you have selected the right post for your desired application you must consider
the following:-
• Gate or barrier length, see table below
• Post type i.e. hang or slam, see table below
• Height out of ground
Gate / Barrier Length (0.55M - 6M)
IMPORTANT:
Before inserting posts into ground be sure
to consider both; the depth of bedding
underneath (where 305mm rise is required
2440mm post must be used) and any steps
caused by discrepancy in the floor level.
Heights Out Of Ground
Gates and barriers hanging at
1525mm as standard, use a 2135mm
post set 610mm deep into ground.
Gates and barriers with a 305mm rise
hanging at 1830mm, use a 2440mm
post set 610mm deep into ground.
Feed fence standing at 1370mm as
standard, use a 1830mm post set
460mm deep into ground.
