End Post Corner Post Installation Guide posts 600mm recommended depth is 600mm. Install in Concrete or Slurry mix mm Hole should be 100mm larger than post 600mm End & Corner posts recommended depth is 600mm. Install in Concrete only to anchor the fence. Step 1, Set Up 10 metres 7.32" or less 1200mm Gate posts recommended depth is 900 to 1200mm depending on gate weight. Install in Concrete. Offset the star picks from the centre line of the fence by half the width of the post. If the post is 150mm then set the string line mm to the far side from where you will be working. Run the string line on the fence side of the star pickets around 150mm of the ground. Mark your post holes using line marking paint at the spacings of your fence style. (2.4, 2.7 or 3.0 metres) (Some post spacings may need to be altered later due to obstructions in the ground) Mark the cross large enough to see the centre line after you have dug the hole. Halfway When you have finished marking your holes, take down the string line, (leave the star pickets in place) You can now dig your holes and when finished, run your string line at the required height of the fence posts. Play around with the string line, moving it up and down to get the preferred height and flow of your fence before any post are set. Take your time and get the flow you want, walk around and look from a few different angles. Because once the posts are set there s no going back when they are all over the place. 1.67" 2400mm Keep the star picket to the out side Keep the string line as tight as you can.sagging Post spacing example line = a sagging looking fence. 150mm approximately Star pickets should be no more than 10 metres apart to avoid sag in the string line The reason for the offset string line is to keep the star pickets and string line from interfering with the installation of the posts and rails for the entire fence run. if it was in the centre of the fence line you could not install the rails as you go.

5 You may need to have sections higher and lower than the set fence height to allow for uneven ground. This way you can keep the look and flow to the top of the fence aesthetically pleasing. We suggest you run the entire fence line, keeping the line as tight as possible and as mentioned in step one, take your time. Stringline and star pickets a relatively cheap. Be happy first with the look and flow, then proceed. 1200mm 1100mm String Line 1300mm NO SAG! 1250mm 11mm Page 5 Try to keep the star pickets between where the posts will go to prevent interference when digging and installing Step 2, Setting Posts Set the height of the string line to the highest point on the string line face of the post as per the example. Fill around the top with mm or so of soil to help stabilize the post while the concrete sets Dig the holes 50mm deeper than the post depth and use a dry mix of concrete (if using a slurry mix, dry dirt and cement mixed) as packing to get the required height to the string line. We recommend End & Corner Posts are concreted in to anchor the fence. Once you have set the height of your first post to the string line and have levelled the post in both directions (with the line and at right angles to the line) fill the hole with concrete or slurry mix to within mm of the ground level. Now fill the remainder with soil and press firm with your foot while checking the level of the post. If the post has moved apply pressure with your foot to the opposite side of the post while holding it straight to move it back. Once you have set your start post it is recommended to securely brace the start post using a scrap piece of timber or star picket as shown. This will stop any movement while installing your rails along the fence line. Installation of the rails will force the start post out of level without a brace. Step 3, Install Rails Now set your next post in the same way as the first. When done measure the centre to centre distance between the two posts then mark and trim your rails to suit if required. Once cut to the required length, insert as shown starting with the lower rail until they are all firmly housed in the start post. Measure as shown from the same two left or right hand side faces to get the centre to centre distance.

6 Step 4, Finishing Off Page 6 This is where a couple of extra hands are good. Set the height of your last post and lean it outwards just enough to insert the bottom rail. now slowly stand the post upright adding the middle rail then top rail. Now set the post in concrete, pack up the string line, star pickets, wash the barrow and shovel. Then sit back and enjoy the new fence for many many years to come. By this stage you will have deserved it.
