Install a modular PVC fence will not be particularly difficult, even to those who have never been faced with the conduct of such work. In practice, everything is much easier and faster than it seems.

Our instructions will allow you to avoid a number of traditional problems that a beginner may face.

1. Preparatory stage. First make at least a rough draft of the future design. Carry out an outdoor study of the area in which the fence will be installed. Remove all possible obstacles and prepare the necessary materials.

Plastic strips for PVC constructions.

1. Mark the territory. In places of bearing pillars, you must install the pegs, pulling the rope between them. The distance between the pillars is traditionally 250 cm. This is quite enough for the design of the fence to be really strong. But you still need to focus on the size of the module purchased material.

Do not forget about the gate and the gate, ideally, the marking should start with them.

1. Install the supporting pillars.

• Punch holes to install support posts. Remember, without exception, the wells must have the same and accurately measured depth. Otherwise, the design of the fence may be squinted.

Tip! The diameter of the hole should be calculated as follows: multiply the diameter of the column by 2.5. Depth - not less than 60 centimeters.

• Since this material is not susceptible to corrosion and does not absorb moisture, even in the column foundation there is no need. Just install the pillars in the hole, securing them with spacers. Make sure that all the columns are installed strictly vertically, and their upper sections are located on the same level.
• Determine the position of the pillars using level and plumb. This stage is very exacting to exact work with sizes. Therefore, the correct installation of supports should be checked several times. If necessary, make any adjustments: make stops, brackets, etc.

1. We mount intake sections. Installing a plastic fence is similar to the assembly of the designer, and therefore no one will cause any special difficulties.

• Connect the vertical boards in accordance with the design option.
