Mesa
1.
The first Mesa Fence board needs to have a relief cut made to allow for
expansion and contraction. To do this, cut
only
the first board 1” shorter
then the distance from the Bottom Rail to the top of the post.
2.
Install the first Mesa Fence boards with the groove of the first board in-
side the post channel and the tongue facing outwards. Press the board
into the channel firmly until it stops.

3.
Install the remaining fence boards, pressing the groove onto the
previous’ boards tongue firmly and down into the Bottom Rail
channel.
In most cases the fence boards for the Mesa fence
will be too long and need to be cut to the proper length so
that the top of the fence board is flush with the top of the
vertical posts as shown.
4.
The last board may need to be rip cut to properly fit and obtain
a 1/2” to 3/4” gap between the edge of the picket and the inside
wall of the vertical post.
5.
With the last fence board you will also need to cut a relief for
expansion and contraction as shown. Depending on your post
spacing you may need to extend the relief cut into the board
prior.
6.
Finish by sliding last fence board down into position.

TOP RAIL AND TOP CAP INSTALLATION
Complete construction of the fence panel by installing the Top Rail and Top Cap
by first sliding Top Rail onto top of fence boards. If distance between posts is dif-
ferent then the Top Rail may need to be cut by measuring the distance between
inside of vertical posts and cutting the Top Rail this distance minus 1/8”. Then in-
stall the Top Cap over the top of the posts and Top Rails. Position the Top Cap by
centering on post so that the cap extends onto the Top Rails equally on both sides
of the post. Fasten the Top Cap with self
-
drilling screws drilled into the Top Rails.
