Variable Terrain Installation – Molded
Installation on sloping terrain is
similar to that on flat terrain.
Professionals typically use a laser to
shoot and obtain a grade.
• Set the first post on the uphill side. Post placement is
important! Posts are typically placed at the point where the
slope changes, whether in a peak or a valley.
• The panel support brackets should be pre-attached at 50" for
4ft, 74" for 6ft, and can receive the down hill side of the
panel at that height. Once the slope and the drop per panel
have been determined, the bracket on the uphill side should
be adjusted to the proper height. Panels will always be set
level even on a slope.
• Set the second post and make any adjustments to bracket
position.
• Use steel stiffeners for spacing to set the distance for each
succeeding post.
• Use a level on the stiffener to ensure panels will be level
when installed.

NOTE: A 6' wide panel can be stepped as much as 12" per
panel. For steeper elevations you can use our 142" long post.
To reduce the gap under the panel, you can reduce the width
of the panel and add additional post.
For more details and instructions call your sales
representative.
