Before You Start

Plan the layout for your fencing before you begin to ensure you get the best look for your fencing project. If you are unsure of any aspect of the project, be sure to reach out to a professional landscaper who can assess and advise on the specific needs of your space.

Proper installation requires a flat and sturdy surface. Never install on an uneven surface.

How To Install WPC Fencing On Soil

Step 1.

Measure the distance to install the Aluminium Fencing Posts (C), ensuring a 2-3mm extension beyond the fencing board length.

Insert the Aluminium Strips (B) into the Fencing Posts (C), avoiding any sides where the fence boards will be inserted.

Step 2.

Dig holes for your fence posts at the measured positions, approximately 720mm deep, with a diameter of roughly 4 times the diameter of the post.

Place a 150mm layer of gravel in the base of the hole.
