Getting Started
Clean, uncluttered good looks combined with brilliant
functionality. With the natural look of timber, or in a variety of
plain colours, Mystique provides privacy in a garden setting and
an effective barrier from unwanted traffic and neighbour noise.
Congratulations on your new Think Fencing

Installation Tips
Install the fence on a still day as wind can make the string
line move.
Mow any grass and level the fence line prior to allow for
easier installation.
For planning purposes each hole will require 0.045m/3 of
concrete.
When concreting the post, Think Fencing recommend to
first put the post into the ground, pour the concrete in, then
lift and push it back into the concrete. This method allows
the concrete to travel up the post core.
If you have sandy/loose soil, Think Fencing recommends
that you increase your hole size and amount of concrete to
create a bigger foundation.
Creating a gauge with a piece of timber or plastic allows you
to easily check the measurement between posts.
When crimping, make sure that the crimp is facing
outwards. The crimp is designed to allow you to push the
rail into the post but not pull out.
Keep a rasp handy to open the slots up if the rail or pickets
are difficult to slide in or if the fence is on a slope.
A pilot hole will assist with screwing into the steel U section
in the bottom rail.
The fence can already accommodate a 1.0 degree rake.
Anything larger than this will require increasing the length
of the slot by rasping it out on site or have Think Fencing
provide custom routed posts.
If the fence is to be installed around a corner with an angle
between 0-45 degree the rail slot width can be increased
using a rasp to allow for a greater angle.

Shortening a Panel
All PVC components can be cut using a saw to enable you
to shorten a panel. When cutting rails, ensure you leave at
least 30mm on each side to slide into the post.
If using a circular saw, it is recommended to use an
Aluminium cutting blade for the best cut.

Prepare the site ensuring you don’t have any
significant undulations. You can then run two
string lines, one along the top of the posts and
one on the side of the posts.
Mark your post centers as required using line
marking paint. This is where you will auger/dig
the holes.

First put the post into the ground then pour
the concrete in. Lift the post and push it back
into the concrete allowing the concrete to
travel up the post core.
Position the post using a string line and level.
Please note: If you have sandy/loose soil,
Think Fencing recommends that you increase
your hole size and amount of concrete to
create a bigger foundation.
The holes must be at least 300mm wide and
650mm deep. The post needs to go into the
concrete 600mm deep leaving a 50mm solid
concrete foundation.

Concrete the next post.
Its easier to accurately measure the post
spacing from the inside edge of two posts
rather than the centers.
This measurement is the center to center
post spacing that you used to mark the
holes (as specified) minus the thickness of
one post. For example: Post spacing center
to center (2340mm) minus thickness of one
post (127mm) = 2340 - 127 = 2213mm. What you will need:

Colour Top Rail only: Insert the steel into
the top rail with the U facing to one side.
This will prevent the top rail from bowing.

Insert the steel into the top channel of the
bottom rail with the U facing down. This will
provide extra strength when dirt is pushed up
against it.

Attach the pollock to the bottom rail using 5
Tek Screws. After the post concrete has set
slide the bottom rail into the pre-routed slots.
You will need to push the rail all the way into
the first post to enable you to push it into the
second post.
