If installing your fence at angles other than 900, you
can use a single swivel bracket as illustrated.
Panels can also be fixed directly to walls or pillars
using a rail insert. Drill a hole into the wall and use an
anchor (size M8) to fix the rail insert to the wall or pillar.

Post Installation
Once you have decided where the fence will
go, mark out the position of the posts. This
will tell you where to dig the post holes.
For inground posts the hole should be
approximately 700mm deep and 200mm
across (100mm extra depth required for
posts at both ends) and posts should be
buried at least 450mm into the concrete.
The H
2
0 Fencing is designed for easy DIY installation and
allows the fence to be constructed in a very flexible manner.
It is important to measure the distance between the
posts accurately to avoid problems in panel installation.
Once the concrete has set and the fence
posts are firm, insert the post cap to the
post. The rail insert are then fixed to the
post by 2 self-tapping screws
(supplied). Each panel will require 4 rail
inserts. The recommendation is to leave a
50mm to 100mm clearance at the bottom.
Gate set up
If the passage gate is to be used
for swimming pool fencing it
should swing outwards and
away from the pool.
See important notice below
regarding correct accessories
to be used.
Latches and Hinges
The H20 Fencing has gate latches and hinges as
accessories. Other types of gate latches and hinges
available on the market can also be used.
Council regulations
Councils may have different regulations regarding the
type of fences you can install. Please check with your
local council to ensure that the fence will meet their
regulations.

Design your fence
Each panel is 2400mm in length and together with
one post of 50mm square, the distance covered will
be 2450mm. If a passage gate is required the length
is 970mm. Use graph paper to start the planning and
draw a scale diagram showing the position and the
number of panels and posts required. If a full size
panel cannot be used, calculate the exact length to
facilitate cutting. It is best if this is done once all the full
panels, gates and posts have been installed so it is cut
at the correct length. You will need 30mm minimum
between the cut edge and the first picket to attach the
rail insert. If the fence has to run at angles not 900take
note of the accessories (swivel bracket etc.) required.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
To meet safety requirement AS1926.1-2012 for swimming pool fencing,
self-closing hinges must be used to ensure the gate is kept closed.
Also, a child - proof latch has to be fixed for safety. The top of the latch
must be located not less than 1500mm from the finished ground/ floor level.
Panels must be installed with maximum ground clearance of 100mm and
the gap between the fence panel and post cannot exceed 100mm.

Use a spirit level to ensure each post is
vertical. To make sure each post is planted
to exactly the same height use a length
of string or bricky line. Secure the string to
the required height using a wooden stake
or other posts, then check the level.
For concrete surfaces use a plate post. Drill 4
holes into the concrete and a M10 anchor (not
supplied) will be used to secure the plate firmly
on the ground. 4 anchors are needed for each
post.
Two rail inserts can be fixed at
adjacent sides of a post to
run two panels at 900to each other.
