PLYWALL® is shipped complete and ready-to-install, including posts, panels, cleats and spikes (or lag bolts). Installation is normally completed by a local contractor, often a commercial fence company, though PLYWALL® is well suited for installation by general contractors or maintenance personnel. No special skills or unique equipment is required.
A truck mounted auger works well for digging the post holes, with auger size varying with the post dimensions. Recommended backfill material is crushed stone, which provides excellent lateral support and allows the potential for relocation of the barrier. Concrete is not normally required. Posts are set on clear spacings, equal to panel width plus one and one quarter inch erection tolerance. The unique panel-to-post attachment method, using spiked or lagged 4"x 4" cleats to create a channel, provides an expansion joint and utilizes the exposed post face to add extra linear coverage.
Individual panels are lifted into place by hand or by crane using the built-in nylon loops at the top of each panel. One cleat is spiked or lagged to each post with the provided hot dipped ring shank spikes or lag bolts, after which a panel is swung into position and fixed by attachment of the opposing cleats. This method means the panels do not have to be lowered from the top of the posts. Holes are pre-drilled in each cleat for spikes or lag bolts, saving time and measuring for the installer. Trimming the top of the posts and cutting of the nylon straps completes the installation.
Field modifications are easily performed to accommodate odd span widths, terrain contours, and other site conditions where a standard panel will not fit.
