POOL & BOUNDARY FENCING INSTALLATION GUIDE
INSTALL THE POSTS
- 1. Calculate the distance from the string-line to the top of the post and
mark the post with a chalk-line. Allow 50 to 80mm under the panels
and 10 to 30mm above the panels to the top of the post. Pool Gate
latch posts should extend 300mm above the gate.
If the ground is sloping and the fence panels are to be stepped, don’t forget to allow for the step. (See Council for Regulations on stepping panels). - 2. Mix concrete in a cement mixer or wheelbarrow. Half fi ll the post
hole, then insert the post ensuring that the spacing and height are
correct and that the post is vertical.
DO NOT USE POSTCRETE OR RAPID SET CONCRETE - 3. Fill the hole around the post to just above the ground level and taper
away from post. Knead the mix to ensure a solid
fi ll and re-check height and alignment of post. - 4. Clean off bottom of posts with a damp sponge before the concrete sets.
- 5. Leave the posts overnight to allow the concrete to set before fi xing panels and gates.
