Installation Tips - 4.1
Install the fence on a still day as wind can make the string
line move.
Mow any grass and level fence line prior to allow
for easier installation.
For planning purposes each hole will require 0.045m/3
of concrete.
Do not use rapid set concrete.
It will continue
to absorb moisture, expanding inside posts and voiding
the warranty. Think Fencing recommends using premixed
25mpa/10mm aggregate.
When concreting the post, Think Fencing recommend to
first put the post into the ground, pour the concrete in, then
lift and push it back into the concrete. This method allows
the concrete to travel up the post core
If you have sandy/loose soil, Think Fencing recommends
that you increase your hole size and amount of concrete to
create a bigger foundation.
Creating a gauge with a piece of timber or plastic allows
you to easily check the measurement between posts.
Keep a rasp handy to open the slots up if the rail are difficult
to slide in or if the fence is on a slope.
The fence can already accommodate a 1-degree rake.
Anything larger than this will require increasing the length
of the slot by rasping it out on site or have Think Fencing
provide custom routed posts.
When crimping, make sure that the crimp is facing
outwards. The crimp is designed to allow you to push the
rail into the post but not pull out.
Shortening a Panel - 4.2
All PVC components can be cut using a saw or angle grinder
to enable you to shorten a panel. When cutting rails, a
general rule is to measure between posts and add 80mm
(40mm each side of rail).
If using a circular saw, it is recommended to use an
Aluminium cutting blade for the best cut.
