IMPORTANT TIPS

1.

Be sure to thoroughly review these instructions before beginning to install your fence.

2.

Prior to purchase and installation, check with your local regulatory agency for special code requirements in your area and contact your utility supplier to locate and mark underground lines before digging.

3.

Prior to purchasing, determine your method of installation (straight, sloped, stepped or a combination). Your method of installation will depend on the slope/grade change in your yard and the style of fence. See page 4 for more information.

4.

Sketch out the layout of your fence and calculate the number of panels, gates and posts required (to finish a fence run, one extra post is needed). Careful planning and measuring of your fence is essential, since it is not possible to move the posts after the concrete sets.

5.

Measure and assemble your gates first to determine the width of the gate opening (including space for hardware). Be sure to allow enough clearance on the bottom of the gate to allow it to swing freely . Failure to do so may result in a poor installation of the entire fence since the gate will set the height for the rest of the fence.

6.

When installing your fence or gate, we recommend installing 1 post and section at a time.

7.

We recommend allowing a minimum 2" clearance between the bottom of the panel and the ground. Resting the bottom rail on a 2x4 to keep it level while assembling the panel, will also make it easier to insert the pickets.

8.

We do not recommend gluing post caps in the event you want to upgrade to a different style or need to replace batteries or wiring at a later time. Instead, use a small amount of clear silicone on the inside corner of post cap to secure the cap to the post.

MAINTENANCE

Like all outdoor products, vinyl fencing will have dirt exposure from atmospheric conditions. Ordinarily, normal rainfall will be adequate to wash the vinyl. If a more thorough cleaning is required, follow these simple instructions:

1.

To clean the fence, simply wash it down with soap and water.

2.

For hard to remove dirt, clean the fence using a formula of 1/3 cup powdered detergent, 2/3 cup household cleaner and 1 gallon water. Rinse thoroughly.

3.

For stain removal, you may use lacquer thinner or soft scrub with bleach. Do not scrub vigorously as this may damage the finish. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with water immediately after using either of these .

Layout & Post Installation


Step 1

The location of your gate will determine the layout of the posts for the fence line. The width of your gate will determine the spacing between your gate posts.

It is important to assemble your gate first since the gate width combined with the space needed for your gate hardware to function correctly will determine the distance between the gate posts. The instructions on pages 5 -6 will show you how to assemble your gate and determine the spacing needed for your gate hardware.

Step 2 To make sure your fence run is straight, install line stakes and run a string line. The string line should be positioned on the side of the posts and be very tight.

Paint a mark at post centers

Use a tape measure and mark the location for each post. Most posts are to be installed 72" or 96" from center of post to center of post.

Tip: The width of all of our fence panels can be reduced.

Remove the string line, leaving the stakes and dig the post holes. If installing with concrete, 5" posts will need a 12" diameter hole. 4" posts will need 10" diameter hole. The recommended depth of holes is

30" - 36" (40" for 8' tall fencing) .

Tip: If installing with Fast2K concrete alternative, 5” p osts will need a 8” diameter hole and 4” posts will need a 6" in diameter hole. We recommend the depth of the holes will still be 30"-36".

Next , re attach the string line to the stakes and place a post in each hole. As you set the posts, use the string l ine to ensure the fence line is straight ( s ee figure 1) .

Finally , mix the concrete and fill the hole around th e post with concrete to 3" below ground level ensuring that the post is level and plumb. Best practice is to use two 80 lb. bags of Quickcrete for each 5" post or two 60 lb. bags for each 4" post.

Figure 2

5" posts require a 12" diameter hole that is 30" to 36" deep. Use two 80lb. bags of concrete

4" posts require a 10" diameter hole that is 30" to 36" deep. Use two 60lb. bags of concrete

String line

The inside of each post is marked to identify the specific post definition:

Line Posts - no marking

End Posts - red dots

Corner Posts - green dots

Custom Posts - marked custom

Blank Posts - marked blank

Notch Tape

TIPS: Drilling a hole (1/4" bit) in the middle of the underside of each rail will allow water to escape.

ADDITIONAL STEPS REQUIRED FOR FENCES

OVER 6' TALL OR HIGH WIND AREAS

If your fence is over 6' tall or located in a high wind area, you must reinforce the post with either concrete or an aluminum insert to at least 22" above grade. If you choose concrete, fil l the inside of the post AFTER THE PANELS ARE INSTALLED.

Prior to installing the panels into the posts, tape the lower rail to prevent concrete backflow. If using aluminum inserts, b e sure to install them prior to installing the panels. For additional high wind installation instructions, please see page 1 3 .

Stepping vs Racking

The Stepping Installation Method

Each individual fence style is able to accommodate a defined degree of slope (x inches over x feet). While most yards are fairly level and allow for normal installation, prior to purchasing your fence, be sure to run a string line to determine the slope of your yard. After determining the slope of your yard, check the spec diagram for your specific style of fence to ensure that it can accommodate the required slope.

If you have inclines steeper than the slope allowed for you specific fence style, stepping the fence may be the best method of installation. You must determine the method of installation before purchasing as the installation method will impact the materials required to complete your project. There are several options when installing using the stepping method:

Option 1

Use end posts in place of line posts and cut the holes in the blank side of the post (we recommend using a rotozip or dremel tool.

Option

2 Use end posts in place of line posts and install u-mount rail brackets of the blank side of the posts at the required height.

Option

3 Use blank posts and install u-mount rail brackets on both sides of the posts.

IMPORTANT TIPS:

1.

2.

3.

Steeper inclines may require longer posts.

If installing with u-mount rail brackets, the rails will need to be shortened since they will not be inserted into the posts.

Install one panel and one post at a time.


4

Gate Assembly

Step 1

Always start by doing a "Dry

Fit" test. Do not use glue for the initial "Dry Fit" assembly.

This allows for any necessary adjustments. (Hint: If you have a privacy fence be sure to remember to install the u-channels)

Step 3

Cross measure the gate diagonally both ways to make sure the measurements are the same or within an 1/8" difference. Be sure to read the same side of the tape measure.

Failure to do so will result in the wrong measurement. Make any adjustments necessary before moving to next step.

Step 5

After placing the glue in the s ockets of the first socket post, flip it down and quickly and firmly insert the rails into the s ockets. The adhesive will set in about 45-60 second s .

Step 2

Once assembly is complete, measure to confirm the gate is the same width on the top and bottom.

Leaving the panel assembled, carefully remove the rails from the socket posts. Turn the first socket post up and run a 1/8" bead of vinyl glue (included) around the inner rim of the socket s approximately 1/4" down.

Step 6

Quickly repeat steps 4 & 5 for the other socket post.

This may take some assistance to do before the adhesive begins to set.

Step 7

Quickly repeat steps 2 & 3 to confirm the measurements are accurate. Allow the glue to dry for one hour.

Step 9

Pre-drill three holes into the top and bottom of the cross brace only. DO NOT pre-drill into the gate. Attach the cross brace using two of the provided selftapping screws at each end of the gate. Please note, 8 ft. high panels require 2 cross braces.

See CAD for placement.

C

Step 8

Cut and install the cross brace.

The brace should run at an angle starting at the lower corner of the gate on the hinge side and run at an upward angle towards the top. Be sure to secure the cross brace to the rails (not the posts).

Step 10

Install post caps on the tops of the gate socket posts, using a small amount of glue on the inside corner of the post cap to hold it in place.

Gate Installation & Tips

IMPORTANT TIPS

• Be sure your gate posts are set with the correct rough opening to accommodate the assembled gate and hardware. As a general rule, the hinge and the latch require a 1" gap each. An additional 1" gap is required for a double gate. Be sure to refer to the gate hardware installation instructions for your specifi c hardware.

• Mount the gate flush with the side of the fence that the gate will be swinging on. See Figure 1 below .

• Be sure the gate positioning allows it to clear obstructions such as snow and large post cap profiles .

• The gate posts may be cut on site as needed. If cutting the gate posts off at the bottom, DO NOT cut into the gate pocket.

• If installing around a pool, check local codes to determine the direction the gate should swing. Typically , it should swing outward, away from the pool.

GATE INSTRUCTIONS

S tep 1

Determine the direction the gate is going to swing. Be sure to check your local codes.

Step 2 If you have aluminium post inserts, install them prior to installing the gate. If you do not have inserts, you must fill the hinge post with concrete after installing the gate.

Step 3 Locate and follow the gate hardware installation instructions.

Step 4 For double gates, install the drop rod to the socket post of the fixed gate. See

SHORTENING PANELS

• When shortening a picket fence, semi-privacy, pool or privacy fence with a picket accent, be sure the placement of the cuts allows the panel to maintain the proper picket spacing. Depending on the fence style, you may not necessarily cut the same distance off each side of the rail.

• The T&G and Panel Privacy pickets may be cut to reduce the width of the panel if needed.

• If eliminating pickets from a "scalloped" panel, be sure to create the scalloped or sloped look of the original panel when inserting the pickets.

SECURING SHORTENED PANELS

• To replace the notches in a top rail, insert a stainless steel screw through the top of the rail so that the head of the screw rests close to the inside wall of the post. This should be done after installing the fence panel, but before securing the post cap. See Figure 1.

• To replace the notches in a bottom rail, insert a screw into the front face of the rail about 1" from the end of the rail. See Figure 2. While inserting the rail into the post, use applied pressure from your thumbs to deflect or "bow in" the face of the rail enough so that the head of the screw passes through the routed opening of the post.

• To replace notches in the mid-rail, insert the screw through the top of the mid-rail, if it is accessible through the top of the post. If the mid-rail is not accessible through the top of the post, use the method described for the bottom rail above.

High Wind Installation


All of our vinyl privacy fence panels (up to 6' in height) have been engineered and tested to accommodate high wind loads. In order to withstand high wind loads, the additional installation steps below must be followed. Please note, testing completed on a 6' x 8' size panel confirms that all tongue and groove picket privacy fences 6' and shorter will accommodate high wind loads.

High Wind Installation WITHOUT Fasteners:

Below are the wind loads tested without any fasteners connecting the pickets to the rails:

Panel Privacy: 100mph sustained winds up to 116mph wind gusts

Panel Privacy w ith Lattice: 70mph sustained winds up to 84mph wind gusts

T&G Privacy Fence: 90mph sustained winds up to 110mph wind gusts

Step 1 Reinforce each post to at least

22" above ground with either an aluminum insert (prior to installing the fence) OR fill each post with concrete (after installing the fence) as shown in figure 1. If using concrete, be sure to tape off the rails to prevent it from flowing into the rail s . If reinforcing the post with an aluminum insert, the insert can be shipped from the factory already cut to size.

Step 2 Install a #10 x 1" self-tapping stainless steel screw inside the post on each side of the top rail

(see figure 2). #10 x 1" screws may be purchased from us or a local hardware store .
