Key Tools and Information

Description	Symbol	Information
Drill	[Drill]	You will need a crosshead M4 attachment.
Aluminium Saw	[Aluminium Saw]	Use a fine tooth aluminium saw with a clean, sharp blade when cutting posts or slats.
Rubber mallet	[Rubber Mallet]	For securing slats on top of each other and the top cap onto the last slat.
Bolt-Down	[Bolt-Down]	4 x M12 bolts required to fix each bolt-down post.
Concrete-In	[Concrete-In]	Place 565-570mm into the ground. For further stability, we suggest inserting a galvanised steel tube Ø 26.9 x 300mm (cut from code: 160225) horizontally through the concrete pouring hole.

Post Types and Specifications

Concrete-In Posts

Diagram Description: Illustrates a concrete-in fence post installation. Dimensions B (Ground Clearance) and C (Concrete-In depth) are indicated. A table provides specific measurements for different fence heights.

Fence Height (m)	Ground Clearance (B) (mm)	Concrete-In (C) (mm)	Post Size (H x W x D mm)	Code
1.130	50	570	1750 x 50.8 x 50.8	76PC5012B
1.830	50	570	2440 x 76.2 x 76.2	76PC7518B

Bolt-Down Posts

Diagram Description: Shows bolt-down fence posts with base plates. Installation steps involve inserting push screws and attaching the base plate cover. Specific post sizes and codes are provided for different fence heights.

Fence Height (m)	Ground Clearance (A) (mm)	Post Size (H x W x D mm)	Code
1.130	50	1155 x 50.8 x 50.8	76PB5012B
1.830	50	1865 x 76.2 x 76.2	76PB7518B

Board Configuration Guide

IMPORTANT: Refer to the table below when determining fence height and the required gap between boards.

For 1.2m High Fences:

Fence Height (A) (m)	Gap Between Boards (mm)			Ground Clearance (mm)	Number of Boards Needed
Fence Height (A) (m)	No Gap	20mm Gap	40mm Gap	Ground Clearance (mm)	No Gap	20mm Gap	40mm Gap
1.2	1050	1110	1130	50	10	9	8
1.8	1850	1830	1830	50	18	15	13

For 1.8m High Fences:

O/A Fence Height (m)	Gap Between Boards (mm)			Ground Clearance (mm)	Number of Boards Required
O/A Fence Height (m)	No Gap	20mm	40mm	Ground Clearance (mm)	No Gap	20mm	40mm
1.2	950	990	850	50	9	8	6
	1050	1110	990	50	10	9	7
1.8	1350	1230	1130	50	13	10	8
	1450	1350	1270	50	14	11	9
	1550	1470	1410	50	15	12	10
	1650	1590	1550	50	16	13	11
	1750	1710	1690	50	17	14	12

Note: The table for 1.2m high fences lists the total fence height (A) and the corresponding board gaps and number of boards. The second table for 1.8m high fences provides similar details, with multiple row options for the 1.8m height, allowing for different board spacing configurations.

Codes for 1.2m High Fences: Bolt-down post: 76PB5012B. Concrete-in post: 76PC5012B.

Codes for 1.8m High Fences: Bolt-down post: 76PB7518B. Concrete-in post: 76PC7518B.

Installation Steps

Diagram Description: A series of 10 diagrams illustrate the installation process. Key steps include setting post centres (e.g., 1800mm apart), starting a run, intermediate post placement, and ending a run. Components and specific codes are referenced in each diagram.

Diagram 1: Shows two posts with a horizontal line indicating a 1800mm measurement between their centers. Text: "Bolt Down or Concrete-In Posts."

Diagrams 2-10: These sequential illustrations depict the assembly of the fence. They show posts being erected, slats being inserted into post channels, and the overall structure taking shape. Specific components and part codes (e.g., 5004PS4213, 76A001B12, 76S001CB) are often shown near the relevant parts in the diagrams, guiding the installation process from start to finish.

Important Note: Post centre measurements are shown as a guide only. Whilst MARANO® and F.H. Brundle do their best to advise and guide, it remains the installer's responsibility to ensure the final installation complies with any current building regulations and is securely installed. As MARANO® and F.H. Brundle have no knowledge of the location, ground type, or the layout of your system, they would always advise customers to consider these factors and adjust as appropriate.
