The Hardware - Dimension Guide

Use this guide to determine the number of boards and FLEX•fence kits you will need.

Distance of your opening to FLEXfence	# of (1" x 6") boards you will require	Clearance required from frame/post to 1st. hole in the rail	Note: Kits can be easily cut to size
12"	2	4"	ONE 4 FT. KIT When shortening rails, cut equal lengths from each end
24"	5	4"
30"	6	5"
36"	8	4"
42"	9	5"
48"	11	4"
54"	12	5"	SECOND KIT REQUIRED Cut adjoining ends to create a 4" space between centre holes
60"	14	4"
66"	15	5"
72"	17	4"
84"	20	4"
96"	23	4"

Instructions for other distance openings:

1. To determine # of 1" x 6" boards required:
   • Divide total opening width by four (4) and round to the nearest whole number (for .5 round to lower number) then subtract one (1)

     Example:
     For a 31" wide opening:
     31" divided by 4 = 7.75
     ROUND off to 8 - 1 = 7 boards

2. To determine distance from frame/post to first hole in FLEX-fence rail:
   • Subtract one (1) from number of boards required, then multiply by four (4")
   • Subtract this number from the total width of the opening, then divide by two (2)

     Example:
     For a 31" wide opening that requires 7 boards:
     7 - 1 = 6 x 4" = 24",
     31" opening - 24" = 7"
     divided by 2 = 3.5" from frame to first hole in rail
