Installation steps
General steps for installing Primealux privacy fences. Details vary with the site and the product. For questions about installation at your site, contact us.
- Mark the fence line: stretch a straight string between the two end posts, then mark the position of each post. Measure from the centre of one post to the centre of the next, according to the panel width.
- Dig the holes: dig a hole for each post, with a depth and diameter suited to the soil and the product.
- Set the posts: put a layer of gravel at the bottom of the hole for drainage, then fix the post in concrete. Check that it is straight from both sides with a spirit level before the concrete hardens, and brace it temporarily if needed.
- Let the concrete cure: leave the concrete until it sets before loading the posts with panels. The time depends on the mix and the weather.
- Fit the panels: slide the panel edges into the ready-made openings in the two posts, then lower the panel until it sits. Use a rubber mallet when needed, and avoid hitting it directly with a steel hammer. Fix the panel with the self-tapping screws supplied.
- Fit the caps: fit the post caps after finishing the panels.
- Fit the gate: set the gate post in a larger amount of concrete. Hang the hinges supplied on the post first, then fit the gate and check its full movement before tightening the screws.
