what would I use if I already have existing metal poles from an old chain link fence I want to use. Do you have something that can slide over them?

Excellent video. However, if setting this fence on concrete, as in your video, what did you use to secure the uprights to the concrete that will be strong enough to withstand wind and wear?

Hi, Slipfence has a 6 foot high plated post with pre-drilled holes for anchors. This is a surface mount post and we also supply the anchors to either anchor to concrete or wood. SF2-PP376. is the product code.

As long as the boards are the 1" thick type, can you use spacers in between? We get a lot of wind and allowing some through would be beneficial I think, even if it was just 1/2" between each board. .I'm guessing you would need to leave the spacers in for the three week period?.. Also can you even use boards with a different width to add a different visual effect?
@slipfence4 жыл бұрын
Sure, you can also rip some of the boards by 1/2" after the drying period has ended so the boards will still meet the screw holes but provide some wind relief.

What's the best way to cut them to length after setting them, portable band saw, reciprocating saw, circular saw, angle grinder, ? ?
@TahoeProductsGroupInc11 ай бұрын
a cordless circular saw with a new non-ferrous aluminum blade is how we do it, although you have to cut one side of the post and then go to the other side of the fence and cut the other half of the post as the blade wont make it all the way through. Reciprocating saw tends to bounce all over the place and not cut straight. Grinder is the same, you will likely need to do both sides of the post so the circ saw is quicker.

Question: Is this system rated to be used with composite deck boards?
@slipfence4 жыл бұрын
Yes, as long as the deck boards are 1" thick they will fit perfectly into the channels. The horizontal system was engineered to hold much heavier boards than wood because composite is becoming very popular. The channels are fastened to the posts with five #12 stainless screws so plenty strong to hold heavier composite boards.

Can I stain and seal the boards before the three weeks or does it have to be after?
@slipfence3 жыл бұрын
Hi Adrian, this would depend on what wood you are using, how wet it is and if it is ready for stain. The stain manufacturer's customer service would likely be a better resource to answer this question. Almost all boards do require a drying out period from the date of delivery from the mill, and they will shrink width-wise once settled in the Slipfence rails.

Where is the best place to buy the 5/4 deck boards? I was thinking 12 foot boards to cut in half, but 6 footers will do. I'm in Southern California. I see 4 footers everywhere.
@slipfence3 жыл бұрын
There are 7 states that don't seem to stock the 5/4 board as much and California is one of them. If you have trouble finding the 5/4 board, Slipfence also has a commercial grade channel that houses a 2 x 6 board which is a bit too chunky for most residential applications. OR...Composite boards also work as long as they are 1" thick x 5.5" wide.

@slipfence4 жыл бұрын
Yes you can use Composite material in the Horizontal Slipfence system providing that the boards are exactly 1" x 5.5". The posts and rail system are plenty strong to hold the added weight of Composite boards.

That's a question for the manufactures of Trex decking. Composite decking expands considerably when exposed to direct sunlight. I'd be more than concerned with it warping due to being unsecured along a six-foot run.

Hi, we set these posts all the time and quite honestly of you are using post setting concrete then you can really just hold the post level on both axis for about 5 minutes each and because concrete starts to harden from the bottom up they should stay in place after a few minutes, but keep going back to check levels and height to make sure they are still at least 76" to top from ground and level both ways hope this helps.

You step the 6 foot sections. Keep the earth when you dig the posts and fill in the bottom end under the board so the grass can re-grow. if it is a drastic drop in elevation within each 6 foot section you can either shorten up the sections to 4 feet or custom create the bottom board with another board and fasten together with glue and screws and then cut the bottom to follow the grade.
