Fixing instructions

• Begin by marking the fence line -- a chalk line, or lay out line with pins securely weighted down.
• Position each bolt-down shoe along the line at regular intervals to correspond with the width of the fence panels.
• Mark four drilling holes for each shoe and drill into concrete. Alternatively, these bolts could be encased in concrete at the time of concreting. Also, the bolts can be placed in exact position after drilling with a larger drill and the holes concreted. In case of concreting, you have to wait until concrete gains strength.
• Secure the shoe to concrete with four bolts, while plumbing it vertically.
• Position the fence post and tighten the 2 bolts to secure the fence post.
