IN-GROUND POST
INSTALLATION
Your string line should have a small amount of
clearance between it and your post. If you have
your string line always touching the post you
can risk pushing it slightly every time and the
result will be an ‘arc’ in the line of the wall.
STEP 2 (A) –
POST SETUP AND ALIGNMENT
Working to a string line on the face of the post, insert the first post into the hole and gradually pour in the concrete.
Continually check the post alignment with a spirit level as the concrete is being poured.
Avoid using Quick
setting concrete as
it can be corrosive
to Aluminium posts.
!
IMPORTANT
Align posts vertically with spirit level
in both directions
Allow 75mm min from
edge of post to edge of
ground
Slop top of
concrete away
from post (to drain
away water)
Set String Line approx.
5mm of post
