This document provides assembly instructions for the Vita Country Corner Picket fence, available in White Vinyl (VA20234) and Brown Composite Vinyl (VA84050). It is a decorative corner picket fence designed for outdoor use, likely in gardens or yards, to define boundaries or add aesthetic appeal.

Function Description:

The Country Corner Picket fence serves as a decorative and functional barrier, designed to be assembled in a corner configuration. It consists of posts, rails, and pickets that interlock to form a sturdy frame. The assembly process involves creating a frame with posts and rails, securing it in the ground, and then inserting pickets to complete the fence sections. The design emphasizes ease of assembly with components that lock into place permanently once inserted correctly.

Material:

• White Vinyl (VA20234)
• Brown Composite Vinyl (VA84050)

Usage Features:

• Corner Configuration: Specifically designed to form a 90-degree corner, making it suitable for defining garden beds, property corners, or pathways.
• Permanent Locking System: Rails are designed with locking tabs that engage once pushed past a certain point, ensuring a secure and permanent connection between rails and posts. Similarly, pickets also lock into place permanently in the bottom rails.
• Graduated Picket Heights: The pickets come in varying heights (18", 19", 20.5", 23") to create a decorative, descending pattern from the corner post outwards. The tallest pickets (23") are placed closest to the corner post, and the shortest (18") at the ends.
• Ground Installation: Requires digging three 12-inch (30 cm) deep holes for the posts.
• Optional Concrete Reinforcement: For extra post stability, the use of three bags of pre-mix concrete is recommended, though not strictly required.
• Leveling Requirement: Users are advised to use a level during installation to ensure the fence is plumb and the rails are level, adjusting hole depths as needed.
• Non-Abrasive Assembly: Instructions recommend assembling components on a non-abrasive surface (e.g., the shipping box) to prevent scratching.
• Spacious Assembly Area: An area of approximately 10 ft. x 8 ft. (3 m x 2.4 m) is suggested for unobstructed assembly.
• No Excessive Force: The design implies components should fit together without requiring excessive force, indicating a precise manufacturing process.

Maintenance Features:

• Durable Materials: Made from vinyl or composite vinyl, which are generally low-maintenance materials resistant to rot, rust, and insect damage, unlike traditional wood fences.
• Easy Cleaning: Vinyl and composite materials are typically easy to clean with soap and water, requiring minimal effort to maintain their appearance.
• Weather Resistance: Both vinyl and composite vinyl are known for their resistance to various weather conditions, including UV exposure, ensuring long-term color stability and structural integrity.
• Permanent Connections: The locking tabs for rails and pickets ensure that once assembled, the components remain securely in place, reducing the need for re-tightening or re-assembly over time.
