-Slide the first paling into the bottom rail with the
groove in end of paling to the bottom.
- Ensure a 15mm gap is between the edge of paling
and the inside face of the post and push down firmly
into the bottom rail. A rubber mallet can be used if
required.
-Continue to insert all palings, ensuring the tongue
and groove joint is in place correctly.
- Once all palings are installed it is time to fit your
top rail.
- Place over the top of the palings, and tap down into
the C post. Once in place, fix both sides of the rail to
the C post using the tech screws provided. The top of
the rail should be 15mm from the top of the post.
- Slide the first paling into the bottom rail with the
tongue in edge of paling to the top.
- Ensure a 15mm gap is between the end of paling
and the inside face of the post and push down firmly
into the bottom rail. A rubber mallet can be used if
required.
- Continue to insert all palings, ensuring the tongue
and groove joints are in place correctly.
- Once all palings are installed it is time to fit your
top rail.
NOTE: when building a 1800h horizontal fence the
7th (top) paling is to be cut down in width to suit
total height needed.

STEP 4 - INSTALLING POSTS CAPS
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.
4.1
4.2
All EasyWall caps are supplied as a ‘double’ cap, which are designed to be snapped in half to create two
single caps where required.
NOTE: 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.
Make sure you keep the correct distance
from the top of the post to the top of the
rail (see page 4).

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. 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.
