You have now finished your Colorbond fence extensions. Repeat Step 4 and 5 until all sections are complete. Note that it’s not necessary to do the bottom of the upright on neighbour’s side. Do the same on the other side of the upright (neighbour’s side).
Once it’s in place, check it’s level then screw a hex head through the uprights and into the rail (at the top) to hold it in place. Wriggling the rail back and forth, essentially following the wavy profile of the sheets, will help get it in place. Slowly and carefully wriggle it into place over the sheets dealing with small parts at a time. With a section of sheets in place, grab another rail and insert one end into the upright (like you did in Step 4). With the first one in place, take note of how and where the sheets on the existing fence overlap each other and continue inserting your remaining sheets, keeping an eye on the alignment of your profile.įor this step, do only one section, then go to Step 5. Ensure you align the profile with the existing fence below. Now pop your first sheet into the bottom rail and slide it into the upright. Once it’s in place, pop a screw in each end and one in the middle to attach it to the top rail of the existing fence. With all your upright extensions in place, slide one end of a rail into an upright, then slide the other end in a downward direction to fit into the upright at the other end of the section. Then pop two of the button head screws through both uprights and the plate bracket in a diagonal configuration. Now clamp them together and ensure they’re level. With the plate brackets in place, slide one 300mm upright over the bracket and place a second one up against it. A flat head screwdriver comes in handy to create some space for the plate bracket between the top rail and the upright depending on how closely they’ve been installed. The plate brackets are usually 250mm long so start by marking the halfway point on all of them before hammering them all into place with your claw hammer down to the halfway point you marked. Keep in mind you may need to cut some to fit. Note that some sections (from upright to upright) will be shorter or longer than the rest, so be sure to measure the rails and order the lengths required. To calculate how many plate brackets, just count how many uprights you have, halve it, and add one (for the end). That will be the quantity of each of the items needed in the extension kit.
Simply count the number of sheets, uprights and rails that you have. Measure your existing fencing to determine your material list.
