POST
INSTALLATION
STEP 4 –
POST FITMENT 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.
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.
Slop concrete
away from post to
allow for drainage
Align vertically
with spirit
level in both
directions
STRING LINE
Allow a small gap, a few
mm is fine, between the
post and string line
STEP 5 –
SPACING YOUR POST CORRECTLY
We recommend you cut a suitable spacer (timber or steel) to press against
the back of the post rebate. This distance should be the panel length you are
inst 10mm.
Example: If the wall panel being inserted is 2400mm in length then the
distance between the two rebates should be 2410mm. This will then
accurately give you the correct spacing plus a surface to get a level from
(providing the spacer you are using is straight & true.
Alternatively you can use a tape measure between the face of the posts and
use something rigid to sit across the top of the posts to sit the spirit level on.

NOTE:
-
We recommend mixed
concrete as it is a lot easier to
work with and gives you more
time.

This example is based on a 2400mm panel being installed.
