SLIMWALL™
SlimWall is Australia’s fastest growing fencing
solution for homeowners in search of an aesthetically
pleasing, cost-effective alternative to traditional
metal or timber options. The AcoustiMax50 panel as
used by the SlimWall punches well above its weight
when it comes to acoustic performance, due to its
fibre cement and EPS composite construction. This
makes the SlimWall a proven noise barrier that is fully
capable of preserving peace, quiet and privacy in the
backyards of Australia’s increasingly dense urbans
areas.

The recommendations detailed by ModularWalls in this
guide are formulated along the lines of good building
practice. They form a “common-sense” approach and
are not intended to be an exhaustive statement of all
the relevant data. Further, as the success of projects
depend on factors outside the control of ModularWalls
(e.g. quality of workmanship, particular design, detail
requirements, etc.), we accept no responsibility for, or
in connection with, the quality of the projects or their
suitability when completed.
If you are in any doubt please seek independent advice
or contact ModularWalls. We are always happy and
available to answer questions regarding installation
procedures, no matter how small or insignificant you
think they may be. 7 day technical and installation
advice is available on 1300 556 957.

STEP 1: HOLES
DETERMINE BOUNDARY LINE, POSTHOLE CENTRES & DEPTHS
Please read the wind region and post hole depth charts carefully prior to starting your installation.
We recommend you plan your wall set out/post position on a piece of paper first to save unnecessary digging.
Where installation is to take place on uneven or sloped ground, you should also consider the instructions listed
under “Additional Information” towards the end of this guide.
Accurately determine the boundary line to where the fence will be installed and mark this with a string line as per
the diagram below. In cases where the boundary line is unknown or unclear, a surveyor will need to be engaged.
NOTE: The diagram below is for reference purposes only & shows the wall splitting the boundary line; this may
not always be the case and will depend on your individual circumstances.
Standard post centre-to-centre measurement when using a 2400mm panel will be 2420mm minimum (Plus
5mm extra is an allowable tolerance i.e 2425mm). This will give you the required clearance when installing the
wall panels.
NOTE: Wall panels may be trimmed with a circular saw if necessary to fit within an exact measurement
(panel cutting procedure is detailed on page 24 of this guide). Postholes can be dug by hand or with a
mechanical auger. Use the Footing Depth Table to determine your posthole depth and diameter.
NOTE: Recommended footing depths listed here are for terrain categories 2.5 and 3, within wind regions
A and B. If you are building your wall in a Cyclonic wind area, on the top of a hill, adjacent to an
escarpment, on a ridge, or in terrain category 1, you will need engineering advice beyond the scope of
this publication. Please contact ModularWalls directly for this information.

STEP 2: POSTS
SCREW POSTS TOGETHER
Place the two halves of the post on a FLAT surface back to back, align the tops exactly and clamp if necessary.
Screw the posts together starting with a double screw at the top approx. 50mm down and then in an off-set
pattern at a maximum 300mm centres from then on.
NOTE: Screw both ends together first before the centre section. If retaining with posts please refer to specific
reinforcement recommendations as outlined in the Retaining section later in this guide.
FASTENING POSTS TOGETHER
2 fasteners approximately 50mm
from top of post
Maximum screw spacing
300mm centres
10 16x16mm Hex Head self
drilling screw placings. Screws to
conform to AS3566 Class 3.

STEP 2: POSTS
FIXING THE BASE BRACKETS TO THE POST
Attach the panel support bracket into the post with the hex head screws supplied. The measurement from the
top of the post should be your final wall height plus 3mm. This 3mm will allow for panel joins plus the thickness of
the capping channels.
Example: an 1800mm high wall will have the brackets set at 1803mm from the top of the post.

USING EXPRESSED JOINTS?
If you are using the Expressed Joint feature, please refer to page 19 for specific bracket instructions.
INSTALLING ON SLOPING GROUND?
If you are stepping or raking your wall on sloping ground, please refer to page 20 for specific brackket
instructions.
SLIMWALL™ INSTALLATION GUIDE 9
Working to a string line on the face of the post, insert the first post into the hole and gradually pour in the
concrete (mix as per the manufacturers recommendations). Continually check the post alignment with a spirit
level as the concrete is being poured.
String line
Allow a small gap; a few mm
is fine, between the post and
string line.
Slope concrete away from
post to allow for drainage.
Align vertically with split level
in both directions.
