This document provides assembly and installation instructions for the ZURICH POLY-STEEL FENCE KIT (2-PACK), designed for outdoor use. The kit includes two fence panels, each measuring 42" W x 35" H, with an overall assembled width of 85" for the two panels combined. The fence is intended to provide a decorative and functional barrier for outdoor spaces.

Function Description:

The ZURICH POLY-STEEL FENCE KIT is a modular fencing system designed for easy assembly and installation. It consists of pre-fabricated panels with vertical pickets and horizontal rails, supported by ground stakes. The primary function of this fence is to define boundaries, enhance the aesthetic appeal of a garden or yard, and potentially deter small animals or provide a visual barrier. The design allows for flexibility in installation, including options for raising panels off the ground or stepping them for sloped terrain.

Important Technical Specifications:

Product Name: ZURICH POLY-STEEL FENCE KIT (2-PACK)
Dimensions (per panel): 42" W x 35" H
Overall Assembled Width (2-pack): 85"
Material: Poly-steel (suggests a combination of polymer and steel components for durability and weather resistance).
Ground Clearance (Optional): Panels can be raised approximately 1.5" off the ground using specific parts (F) to prevent contact with the ground, potentially extending product life.
Stake Exposure: 1.5" of the stake should remain exposed above ground level if the panel is to be raised.
Included Parts:
- A: x4 (likely main stakes or posts)
- B: x20 (likely screws or small fasteners)
- C: x3 (unspecified, possibly brackets or caps)
- D: x8 (unspecified, possibly larger screws or connectors)

Assembly Time: Approximately 60 minutes (assembly + installation).
Reference Item Number: ZP19079 (for customer service inquiries).
Batch Lot: A stamped number on the outside of the box, useful for customer service.

Usage Features:

Easy Assembly: The instructions emphasize "Easy Does It!" and provide a step-by-step visual guide. Assembly is recommended on a soft surface to prevent scratching.
Modular Design: The kit includes two panels, allowing for a longer fence run. The panels are designed to connect seamlessly.
Ground Installation: Stakes are driven into the ground to secure the fence panels. A scrap wood block is recommended to protect the stakes during hammering, and a level should be used to ensure proper alignment.
Panel Assembly:
- Rails are pushed up against a wall to hold slats during assembly.
- Rails are aligned just beneath the pickets.
- Pickets are placed inside the bottom rail one by one.
- Screws are used to secure components, with a note that some force may be required.
- A specific part (D) is used for securing, with 4 units required.
Optional Ground Clearance: Part (F) can be used to raise panels approximately 1.5" off the ground, which can be beneficial for drainage, preventing rot, or simply for aesthetic preference. This requires leaving 1.5" of the stake exposed.
Slope Installation (Optional): For sloped terrain, panels can be "stepped" by installing the lower panel beneath part (F), allowing the fence to follow the contour of the ground.
Tool Recommendations (Not Included):
- Drill / Phillips Bit: For driving screws.
- Hammer: For driving stakes into the ground.
- Scrap Wood Block: To protect stakes during hammering.
- Level: To ensure vertical and horizontal alignment during installation.
Visual Guidance: The manual includes detailed diagrams for each step, making the assembly process intuitive. A QR code is provided for a video assembly guide.

Maintenance Features:

Durable Material: The "poly-steel" construction suggests resistance to weather elements, rust, and general wear, implying low maintenance.
Ground Clearance Option: The ability to raise panels off the ground using part (F) can contribute to the fence's longevity by preventing direct contact with soil and moisture, which can lead to corrosion or degradation over time. This feature acts as a preventative maintenance measure.
Customer Support: Comprehensive customer support is available for missing or damaged parts, assembly help, and returns. This includes a website for parts, email support, and phone numbers (704-892-5222 / 877-234-6196) with specific operating hours (weekdays 9 am-5 pm EST). Having the reference item number (ZP19079) and batch lot number ready is advised for efficient service.
Return Policy: If a return is necessary, customers are advised to contact customer service first to resolve issues. If a return is still desired, it must be initiated with the original company of purchase.

In summary, the ZURICH POLY-STEEL FENCE KIT offers a user-friendly, customizable fencing solution with a focus on ease of assembly and installation, supported by clear instructions and robust customer service. Its design incorporates features for adaptability to different ground conditions and aims for long-term outdoor performance.
