Add warmth and privacy to your yard this year with the Slipfence Horizontal Fence system. This Aluminum Channel Kit includes 2 (two) channels needed to build one 8ft. high fence panel, combined with the Slipfence Post Kit, SF2-PK312, provides a strong and long-lasting framework for your horizontal fence project. Attach these 2-channels to Slipfence Aluminum posts using the silver Self Drilling screws included, then slip in 17 pcs. of regular 1 in. thick deck boards, (called 5/4 deck boards), sold separately into these channels. If 5/4 in. deck boards are not available in your region, search Slipfence SF2-IHCK6 that uses 2 x 6 lumber. The result is a warm, fully private, contemporary, horizontal wood fence that has the strength and endurance of an aluminum fence with the warmth and privacy of a wood fence. This system requires Slipfence Aluminum posts and a Slipfence pair of Cap Rails, either one for the bottom and one for the top of each panel, or as recommended, one just for the top of each panel reducing the possibility of rot on the bottom board. Search SF2-PK312 or SF2-PK412 for posts. Search SF2-HCR84 for Cap Rails. Once your Slipfence horizontal fence system is installed, the wood will appear too high for the channels. Please allow approximately 4-6 weeks for the wood to shrink and settle down to approximately 1 in. above the tops of the 2-side channels and then cut your cap rail to size and slip it onto the top of each panel and fasten with 2-black screws included.
