FITTING PALING CHANNELS
If your channels are not the desired length then these will need to be cut, ideally with a drop saw to
obtain a nice clean cut with out heating the aluminium to a point that it burns the powder coating.
With the use of a tape measure, string line/chalk line or if you have access to a laser level you can
mark the heights of the top of your slat channel on your posts.
NOTE -
If your site has a sloping ground, it may be required that you step your fence from bay to bay.
Once a height has been established for all your channels, with the tek screws supplied, screw your
channel directly to your post whilst keeping the top of your channel to the marks you have made on
your post.
Your screws should be approximately 300-400mm apart down the length of your channel.
Make sure the post is elevated 10mm
higher than the channel to allow for a
post cap
!
IMPORTANT
The paling channel is asymmetrical, to
ensure your fence aesthetically looks
correct, make sure the “screw port
side” is all facing the same direction
(Generally on the inside of your
property looks best).
