INSTALLATION
1) Always layout your entire fence before starting:
check for items on packaging list!
2) Using a string line, layout your entire fence line.
The string will be your straight edge.
3) Mark the location of the holes, following the diagram
supplied by ELEGANT.
Mark holes on center (72 "). The key to running a nice fence is for the
holes to line up with the string line.
4) Dig your holes 36" to 42" deep (Depending on your
part of the country) and 6" wide.
5) Start by attaching one section of fence to the post,
slide the panel into the notched
end of the post and put a 1" self tapping screw into the pre-drilled pilot
hole.
6) Level the post and pour your mixed concrete into the
hole. The post should always be leveled
off your string line. Never jump ahead, always 1 panel & 1 post at a time.
Leave the concrete 3"
short at the top of the hole. Now kick dirt on top of the hole and pack
tight. This will help hold the fence
level. Keep a 2" block under the fence to hold grade heights.
7) Now that you have completed the line, go back and
level; in & out and up & down.
If you are following the grade, stand back along the fence and adjust the
fence up or down to match the grade.
8) If your line ended with a corner, the next panel must
be notched to fit into the post. (see diagram #1)
9) After installing all the fence and leveling your gate
posts, it is time to hang the gates.
Diagram #1
INSTALLING THE GATES
1) Make sure your 2" x 2" gate posts are level and
cement is hard.
2) Double check layout sheet for the swing direction of
the gate.
3) Install hinges on the cemented 2" x 2" gate posts
first (low side of the diagonal
brace of the gate is side hinges go on), using 1" long self tapping
screws.
4) Now bring in your gate. Center the gate in the
opening and put in
1 screw in each hinge. This is for final adjustment reasons.
5) Now put on gate striker and gravity latch.
6) Install gate stopper on latch side of gate about 2"
from the bottom.
7) Put pins in hinges and adjust tensions for proper
swing of the gate.
8) If the gate swings good, put the remaining screws in
the hinges.
9) If the gate swings too slow after putting tension
pins in place, then spray with a little oil.
DO NOT USE GATE UNTIL CEMENT
AROUND POSTS ARE FULLY HARDENED
Diagram #2
FINAL TOUCHES
1) Touch up any marks with spray can.
2) Put a slight lip on the top of the post, with pliers
and snap on your cap (If plastic only)
3) Set your center support by pounding and extra
picket-rod into the
ground and screwing it to the center picket of the panel.
4) Rake out extra dirt and wipe posts free from extra
concrete.
5) Always double check your straight line and gate
tension.
(no need for foolish repair work)!!!!!
6) All screws face away from pool!!!!!
