1. Clean walls and base
with brush and ensure
that there are no raised
obstructions that could
affect the final position of
the wall post.
2. Confirm previously made
measurements of opening
widths.
3. If top and bottom gaps
vary, take the smallest
size. You must ensure that
finished rails are totally
vertical.
4. Place EPDM rubber
wall post sealing pad in
position so that wall post
will compress and seal to
the pad when fixed.
NOTE: The vertical D-seal is
supplied so that its position
is retained, so that it is longer
than the wall post. This is to
ensure that when the wall post
is positions onto the EPDM pad
the D seal will also seal into
the pad.
5. Use packing shims
(normally for double
glazing) easily available
from builders merchants
- so if narrow at bottom,
pack out at top - if narrow
at top pack out at bottom.
Installation - Wall Rails (Face & Reveal)

6. Mark hole positions - drill holes and insert plugs to
suit 6 x 50 screws ensuring that the wall post is
compressing the EDPM pad.
7. Using CT1 Adhesive
sealant (available from
your local merchant) apply
in two continuous lines
down the full length of wall
post back.
SUGGESTION: - prior to the
application of the CT1 use some
masking tape along the sides
that will have CT1 applied to
seal the edges. This will allow
excess CT1 to be kept away
from sides and threaded holes
and give a neat tidy finish to the
finally applied areas.
8. Hold the post in position,
with back against the
wall, so fixing screws can
be inserted into top and
bottom holes.
9. Using spirit level and
packing shims, tighten
all screws and ensure
that finished wall post is
completely vertical.

10. Apply extra CT1 to
all exposed edges to
completely seal the
verticals and finish the
aesthetic look of the
installation
11. Trim off excess edges
of EPDM pad under wall
post and, if required, apply
CT1 sealant adhesive in
cases of ‘rough’ ground,
without obstructing inner
opening.

Deployment (Face and Reveal)
1. Panel 1 is lowered into
position ensuring it is
correctly positioned with
the thicker dual harness
seal at the bottom of the
panel.
3. It is important to check
that both ends of the middle
seal extend completely to
either end of the panel. If
they are short there is a
chance that they will not
seal to the vertical D-seal on
the post.
4. Panel 3 is lowered into
position, also ensuring its
bottom groove engages with
the top of the middle panel.
5. Once all panels have been
pushed down so they fully
engage with each other, the
compression blocks can be
inserted and their bolts can
then be finger tightened - do
not use tools at this stage.
6. Push all panels towards
the back of wall post, onto
the vertical D seal and then,
again by finger tightening
only, ensure all the panels
are firmly pushed against
the vertical D seal.
2. Panel 2/ 2a is lowered
into the Panel 1 ensuring
the lower section
completely engages with
the top of the panel below,
completely covering the
lower panel/s to top seal.

7. Using the T-Bar tool
supplied, apply two full turns
to the vertical compression
screws.
8. Starting from the bottom
panel upwards, give the
horizontal compression
screws one full turn, the
left and then the right,
working up to the top.
WARNING:
DO NOT OVER

* Panel 1 is determined by the fact it has two seals - top and bottom.
* Panel 2 is determined by the fact it has only one middle seal on the top.
* Panel 2a is an additional Panel 2 for barriers with more than 3 panels.
* Panel 2 is determined by the fact it has no seals.
9. Once this is completed
your Stop Log barrier
System will be ready
to protect you and your
property.
