How to Install the T-PostGuard

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 Tensioners

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 ft post and 4 segments a 4 ft post.
Open the T-PostGuard 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 fi rst 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.

INSIDE THE T-POSTGUARD

What makes the T-PostGuard fit snuggly without wiggling on the post?

Each sleeve segment has a star shaped pattern that centers the segment using the T-post as a backbone.

The space between two studs allows you to adjust the height of your T-postGuard, it will hold it in position, ensuring no wiggling on the t-post.

Each segment presents 2 precuts centered and sided holes (you will punch one) in order to suit the T-post position .
