FENCE SYSTEM PARTS

PLAN

• Sketch your fencing plan to scale show­ing property lines, house & other structures, drive­way, and walkways
• This will help you plan gate locations, number of panels and posts, post type and estimate other materials
• Determine number of fence panels and posts of each type needed

BEGIN

• Use stakes and string line to delineate fence line
• Measure and mark each post location with spray paint
• Determine the type of post needed at each location
• Place correct post at each position to avoid confusion when installing

DETAIL

• Posts are set 72-1 /2″ apart, measuring from center to center of each post
• Fence panels and gates need to be installed 2in. above ground level
• Use 2in. spacers under panel and gate ends to easily achieve this
• Gate posts are set 1″ wider than the gate to allow for hinges & latch

• Insert notched rail ends into pre-routed holes in post
• Secure each rail to post with provided self drilling screws
• All screws should be on same side of post

FENCE INSTALL

Step 1

• Begin your fence installation at a corner. Dig the corner post hole and the two adjacent holes in each direction
• All holes should measure Sin. in diameter with depth determined by your local frost line measure­ment plus an additional 6in
• Fill bottom of post holes with 6in. of coarse gravel for drainage
• Position post in hole and continue to fill until gravel reaches bottom of post

NOTCHED CORNER RAILS

• Rails on one panel entering a corner post must be notched 1/2in. x 1/2in. for rails to nest

Step 2

• Place corner post in the corner hole and 2 line posts in adjacent holes. Make sure the pre-routed holes are facing the correct direction to receive the rail ends
• Place 2in. spacer blocks under ends of each fence panel to support the fence section and establish constant height above ground

Step 3

• Insert rail ends into post
• Fasten post to each rail with provided self drilling screws

Step 4

• Position posts so they touch the string line but not move it out of alignment

• Plumb all 3 posts with a level

• Pour concrete into each post hole. Top of concrete may stay 2in. below ground level.
  Fill later with sod or dirt

• Recheck post position to string and plumb. Adjust as needed before concrete sets

• Remove concrete splatter from post with wet cloth before concrete starts to dry.

Step 5

• Proceed by adding next post and panel
• Place post in hole, inserting rail ends into pre-routed holes in posts, place spacing blocks under panel and secure rails to posts with self drilling screws
• Gravel to bottom of post, adjust to string and plumb, pour concrete, and check for needed adjustments.
• Repeat !!

Step 6

• Continue this method until you reach gate, corner or end position. Work with a maximum of two post positions at a time to be efficient.

GATE INSTALL

• Gates need be installed on level ground
• Self closing hinges and striker latch come with all gates
• The gate opening between posts should be the width of the gate plus 1 in. (47in. gate+ 1 in. needs a 48in. gate opening measured from inside post to inside post)
• Make sure both gate/end posts are level and plumb
• Do not attach gate until concrete is fully set

HINGE INSTALL

• Attach hinges to desired post with top hinge aligned to bottom of top rail.
• Bottom hinge aligned to top edge of bottom rail
• Rails of fence and gate should align
• Bottom of gate should be 2in. above ground. Use spacer blocks )to hold gate in place while attaching
• Position gate against hinge, align rails and secure hinge to gate with self drilling screws.

LATCH INSTALL

• Attach striker  to the open side of the gate.
  Use the striker to determine the placement of latch on the end gate post

• For pool installation an extended magnetic gate latch with key may be required. Check with local building codes

INCLINE INSTALL

• Most lronCraft aluminum panels can be installed on an incline. Fence panels can rack up to 22 degrees
• The previous installation procedure should be followed
• On center post measurement will decrease slightly as the angle of rake increases 

SHORT PANELS

• When a shorter panel is needed panels may be cut down to size with a hacksaw. A 1 in. notched section must be left on all rails to insert into pre-routed holes in posts (if the space between posts is 54in. the full length of cut down panel must be 56in)
• Notch bottom edges of each rail 1 in. to match original rail ends. Both ends may need to be cut  notched so rail end spacing is equal.

POST CAPS

• Use a rubber mallet to tap selected post caps onto top of each post

POST FLANGE

• Use steel flanges when installing on top of concrete or wood structures. Anchor flanges into hard surface with appropriate fasteners. Cut posts to length so attached fence section is 2in. above this hard surface. Self drilling screws attach flange to post

WALL ATTACHMENT

• Special mounts are required when attaching panels to walls, columns or pillars. Attach mount for each rail to wall or other vertical surface with appropriate fasteners
• Adjustable Mounts are used when the angle of panel to wall or post needs to be other than 90° orl 80°. Mounts are screwed to surface of post, wall, or pillar
• Fencing codes require the maximum space between pickets, or between picket and post to be less than 4in.
• When using wall mounts or adjustable mounts the notched ends (and possibly more) may need to be cut from rails ends. When assured this space is less than 4in. side rails in and secure with self drilling screws
