How to install a pool or boundary fence

1. Fix panels to posts with panel brackets and self-drilling screws. Use a tek gun, or electric or cordless drill/driver. Adjust the torque setting so the thread in the post is not stripped. Use spare screws to screw through the bottom of the brackets up into the panel top rail to secure the panel tightly if needed.
2. Non-standard length panels can be cut to length with a hack saw or an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel. Touch up cut ends with a Touch-Up Pen or spray can.
3. Fix hinges & Tri-latch to gates & fi x to posts, ensuring the gate is at the correct height and swinging the correct way (away from the pool). Ensure hinges are minimum 900mm apart, and the latch is a minimum 1500mm above the bottom rail.
4. Test the gate to ensure that it self-closes from any position. Adjust the spring tension on the hinges as manufacturers instructions.
5. Clean up the site and fence. Paint splashes, sealants or other residue can be removed with Methylated Spirits, Turpentine, or White Spirits, then rinse with water.
