How to Install the T-PostGuard Fence

[Index][Next]

---

MOUNTING YOUR SLEEVES

1/ At the corners and at the gate

• Drive your corner posts, gate posts and end posts.
• For adequate strength, use 4 inch by 4 inch wood posts + #36W Tensioner
• Or t-posts set in concrete + Block Stresser

2/ On the fence line

Make a straight line by tying a string at 10 inches above ground from your first post
Use your string as a guide to set a straight line of t-posts.

3/ Start mounting the sleeves together :

• 5 segments will make a 5 foot post and 4 segments a 4 foot post.
• Open the t-post guard kit box and take out the number of segments you need.
• Make sure to align properly the pre-cut holes; snap the segments together
• Once your sleeve is ready, slide it down your t-post. Do not set the insulators before sliding down the sleeve.
• Some tiny triangles might pop up but that is not a problem.
• To make sure the insulators will be in a straight line, stretch a string from one insulator that you set on the first T-PostGuard to one insulator on the last post.
• This will show you the exact line to adjust the height of the T-PostGuard to level the insulators. You can force-slide the sleeves up or down to the required level.
• Screw in the insulators, which will also keep the sleeves in place.
• Set the caps and push them down, but don’t forget to align first the precut holes. Set the insulator on the cap.

4/ Set the tape

• Set the tape from tensionner to tensioner and then into the insulators (see page 37)
• Close the insulators with the square clips making sure the bumpy side inside the clip is on top

* In case you want to set your fence tape at different heights than the preselected ones ,do not punch in the pre-cut holes, you can drill your own holes with a 1/2 inch drill bit and screw in the insulators

TO UNDO THE SEGMENTS AND THE CAPS

When mounting or dismounting your T-postGuard sleeve, if you realize you haven’t aligned the holes correctly, you can separate the segments to readjust with a strong push of your hand or foot at a cross angle on the sleeve.
