POSTS & PANELS
POURING CONCRETE
FINISH THE JOB
Lay the panels and posts along the fence line. Work outwards from
the gate post and be careful to keep approximately 75mm ground
clearance under the panels. Screw the panel to the post using
U-clips (sold separately SC-10985).
Secure fence posts into position by filling the hole with wet
concrete mix to a depth of 600mm. Tighten all screws firmly,
ensuring fence is in line and level as you go.
Once concrete has set and the fence posts are firm, insert post
top caps and tap in with a rubber mallet.

GATE OPENING DIRECTION
INSTALL THE HINGES
INSTALL THE GATE
INSTALL THE GATE CATCH
Determine which way you want the gate to open. Boundary gates should always open in towards the property.
Insert the hinge bush into the gate frame, then set the spacers into
position so they can support the gate and provide ground clearance.
Slide the hinge brackets into the hinge bushes and mark the
locating hold position onto the gate post.
Remove the gate and drill holes to match the bolts provided.
Locate the hinge brackets into position.
Recommended hinge packs:
Single Gate - FH-1145
Double Gate - HW-19223
Slide the gate onto the lower hinge and drop the top hinge into the
gate frame.
Tighten the bolts and check the gate opening action.
Position the 'D' latch on the post with tek screws so it will be aligned with the striker bar when the gate is closed.
Fix the striker bar to the vertical gate frame and check for smooth operation.

INSTALL TIPS
Fix the top hinge firmly and leave the
bottom hinge loose until gate is installed.
The hinge with the fixed pin should be
used at the top of the post and slotted
into one at the bottom
INSTALL TIPS
Adjust horizontal movement of the
bottom pin to make the gap even between
the gate and the post on the closing side
of the gate
