6. CREATING A FENCE ON A SLOPE
Essentially the methods above can be used to create a sloping
fence. Cut your PVC gravel board to shape using standard
cutting tools to provide a terrace effect. Longer fence posts may
be required to compensate for the stepped panels (please refer
to your local supplier). Where possible, attempt to spread the
change as evenly as possible over the fence run to provide a more
aesthetically pleasing finish.
7. HANGING A GATE
In order to hang a gate a timber post can be fixed to the Eco post
as shown in fig (10) below. The timber post must be concreted in
alongside the Eco post to provide sufficient support for the gate.
A gate must never be just hung from an Eco post, it will not
provide sufficient support for the gate. For gates’ larger then 3ft w
x 6ft h posts will need to be bigger.

Eco fencing is the perfect solution to replace rotten timber fence panels into existing concrete posts.
Simply remove the old timber fence panels, trim the Eco panels if necessary and stack on top of each other to the desired height.
You can add a convex top to add extra height and style if you wish.
INSTALLATION - RETRO FIT
NOTE:-
that the 2.4 (8’) boards are primarily used at the end of a fence run they can be cut down to size to suit the gap. Most fence
posts in the UK are 6ft apart and this is the width we would recommend for fence panels. In all cases a professional option should be sort
in the application and installation of the fence..
