BEFORE YOU ORDER:
Important information to verify before you order:
Does a 4″x4″ or 6″x6″ fence post really measure 4″x4″ or 6″x6″ inches? In most
parts of North America, the answer is a resounding NO!
4″x4″ refers to the nominal size, but the actual size is 3.5″x3.5″ and a 6″x6″
is actually 5.5″x5.5″. The same is true for all lumber sizes!
The message here is that you must ALWAYS take a measurement of the posts you
are ordering Fence Armor for. This is true for Vinyl, Round and Metal Fence
posts. It will save you time and extra shipping costs for returned materials.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Fence Armor Metal Post application installation instructions:
For 2 x 2 metal posts Fence Armor is designed to simply click lock around the
existing posts. Take each half unit and snap the corresponding notches to
fasten to the post. No Drilling required.
Fence Armor Round application installation instructions:
The Fence Armor Round application was designed to follow the bend on a rounded
post. Standard rounded posts have a diameter of 3.5 to 5 inches. If your post
is larger, two or more segments of Fence Armor Round may be required to cover
the post. Sink the fastener of your choice into the center hole, then wrap
until the two ends meet and fasten securely to the post.
For tree protection it is important NOT to affix the product directly to the
tree, there must be approximately a quarter to half an inch of room for the
tree to breathe. By fastening the center holes together with a bolt the
necessary length and height can be achieved to reach the desired diameter.
For more unique shapes Fence Armor Round is malleable and can be formed to fit
most shapes.
OFF THE BOX INSTRUCTIONS:
Slide Fence Armor over the bottom of your existing post, at the middle of the
centre line of your grass trimmers path. Place a second unit on the opposite
side of the post, over-lapping each unit until slot and side holes meet.
Fasten with 1 ¼ to 1 ½ inch long galvanized nail or outdoor rated deck screw.
If side holes are not accessible, use the front hole to fasten with the same
type of fastener. For best results stain or waterproof untreated posts before
installing Fence Armor. If required, due to ground or fence level, you may
stack Fence Armor to increase desired protection area.
