STEP 4 – INSTALLING POST CAPS
All SmartWall caps are supplied as a ‘double’ cap, which are designed to be snapped in half to create two
single caps where required.
Make sure you keep the correct distance from the top of the post to the top of the rail (see page 5).

NOTES
Cut each side of the cap in line with the
centre ridge. Use end-nippers – do not use
a knife as this is dangerous and dicult to
achieve a straight cut.
Ensure the ‘nose’ of the end nippers is
pushed all the way in before cung.
Bend the cap along the centre ridge to snap
it, and pull apart to create two single caps.
If the cap is not a ght t, place a small amount of silicone up inside the cap to secure it. Make sure the silicone is a small bead on the
inside corner of the sides only.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR FENCE
1. To keep your fence looking its best, a so broom down every few
months should be sucient to remove any cobwebs. Pay parcular
aenon to the area under the top rail, which is sheltered from
natural washing by rain.
2. DO NOT build up soil, garden ll and/or dirt against the boom
rails and posts of your fence as this will retain water and lead to
corrosion.
DO NOT use your fence as a retaining wall, as it is not designed
for this purpose.
3. Adequate drainage is needed to ensure that water does not
pond in the boom rail and to assist in the removal of debris. This
is achieved by designing the posts such that there is a clearance
between the ends of the boom rail and the posts.
4. DO NOT use touch up paint. Minor scratches should be le alone
or the post/rail replaced. Touch up paint will weather dierently
than the original steel coang. A small touch up brush can be
supplied for any small scratches.
5. The steel posts and rails are backed by a 10-year warranty* under
the following condions:
- Installaon > 1km from Marine or Industrial environment
- Fence is installed to manufactures guidelines
- Fence is maintained regularly in accordance with
suggesons made by Boundaryline.
There is no warranty on the mber components due to being a
natural product.
