STEP 4 –
INSTALLING POST CAPS
All Smart
Wall
caps are supplied as a ‘double’ cap, which are designed to be snapped in half to create two
single caps where required.
Make sure you keep the correct distance from the top of the post to the top of the rail (see page 5).

NOTES
Cut each side of the cap in line with the
centre ridge. Use end-nippers – do not use
a knife as this is dangerous and difficult to
achieve a straight cut.
Ensure the ‘nose’ of the end nippers is
pushed all the way in before cutting.
Bend the cap along the centre ridge to snap
it, and pull apart to create two single caps.
If the cap is not a tight fit, place a small amount of silicone up inside the cap to secure it. Make sure the silicone is a small bead on the
inside corner of the sides only.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR FENCE
1.
To keep your fence looking its best, a soft broom down every few
months should be sufficient to remove any cobwebs. Pay particular
attention to the area under the top rail, which is sheltered from
natural washing by rain.
2.
DO NOT
build up soil, garden fill and/or dirt against the bottom
rails and posts of your fence as this will retain water and lead to
corrosion.
DO NOT
use your fence as a retaining wall, as it is not designed
for this purpose.
3.
Adequate drainage is needed to ensure that water does not
pond in the bottom rail and to assist in the removal of debris. This
is achieved by designing the posts such that there is a clearance
between the ends of the bottom rail and the posts.
4.
DO NOT
use touch up paint. Minor scratches should be left alone
or the post/rail replaced. Touch up paint will weather differently
than the original steel coating. A small touch up brush can be
supplied for any small scratches.
5.
The steel posts and rails are backed by a 10-year warranty* under
the following conditions:
- Installation > 1km from Marine or Industrial environment
- Fence is installed to manufactures guidelines
- Fence is maintained regularly in accordance with
suggestions made by Boundaryline.
There is no warranty on the timber components due to being a
natural product.
