Step 1: Mark your holes at the width required by your panels and hardware
Step 2: Dig holes for your posts according to your local council regulations. General guidelines are:
a. Hole depth should be 1/3 of the full fence height.
i. An 1800mm high fence would be 600mm deep.
ii. A 2000mm fence would be 666mm deep.
b. Hole width should be 2/3 of the hole depth
i. A 600mm deep hole would need to be 400mm wide
ii. An 800mm deep hole would need to be
Step 3: Fill ~50mm of the hole with concrete before planting the posts to give the posts a base to rest on.
Step 4: Place your posts into the hole and brace them & level them using timber bracing clamped to the posts and driven into the ground.
Step 5: Once the concrete has cured, remove the bracing and you are ready to hang your panels
Step 6: Get someone to hold your first panel in place and line the holes on the panels up with the holes on the mounting tabs (a spacer underneath helps a lot here) and thread the first M8 bolt into one of the top holes then thread the nut on to the back. Do not tighten all the way.
Step 7: Put the second nut and bolt on the other top hole and do not tighten all the way.
Step 8: Install the rest of the nuts and bolts in the remaining holes without tightening all the way.
Step 9: Fully tighten all the nuts and bolts in a star pattern starting from one of the top corners.
Step 10: Repeat steps 6-9 to install the rest of your panels.
Step 11: Enjoy your new fence.

Step 4: Place your posts into the hole and brace them & level them using timber bracing clamped or screwed to the posts and driven into the ground.
Step 5: Once the concrete has cured, remove the bracing and you are ready to install your brackets.
Step 6: Measure the distance between the holes on your panel or ask us what they are.
Step 7: Mark these distances on your posts at the panel height you are looking to achieve.
Step 8: Pre-drill these holes
Step 9: Line up the brackets and drive the M10 coach screws into the brackets and wood. Make sure these are tight.

Please check with your local council as to how deep your posts need to be in the ground as it varies across NZ.
However, a good rule of thumb is the post should be buried at least 1/3 as deep as the fence is tall and the hole diameter should be at least 2/3 of the hole depth.
