Inline Brushwood Panel Installation
The proprietary ausbrush
"inline" installation
system described below is simple, effective and has the same
look/finish on both sides of the fence (unlike the "offset" system which has a
frame on one side). The framing
method and panel sizing has been
designed specifically for efficient contractor use and
requires two persons to install. It provides a strong and rigid structure using commonly available
fencing components. The method accommodates steel capping finishes or a brush rolled top,
different fence heights and moderately sloping sites and tapers and can be married to
pillars and other structures. The raw brushwood panels are fixed between 40mmNB galvanised steel posts using a 150x150mm concrete base centred. The panel wires are tensioned around the posts at each end before covering in brush post rolls. A single top rail only is used and is covered by and secures the brush roll top. The inline method 'look' is characterised by post rolls at every post on both sides of the fence. See installation video clips below .... |

See our DVD for an easy guide to our "inline" system using the wider panels. See also our streaming video with "inline" installation details below .
For situations demanding an alternative brushwood panel size, framing or finishing method, we would be happy to work through your design with you and endeavour to supply your requirements.

Video Guide to "Inline" Brushwoood Panel Installation The streaming video in the Windows Media Player below is designed to play on medium speed broadband 512kbps. The video comprises 5 clips including: 1. Fixing the Rails 2. Standing the Panels 3. Adjusting the Panel Widths 4. Tensioning the Wires 5. Fitting the Post Rolls ( 6. Fitting the Roll Tops - see video at the roll finishes page )
A top rail only, is needed with the "inline" system. Full lengths 7500mm long x 25mm x 38mm x 1.2mm galvanised steel rail are then fitted to one side of the posts 75mm down from the top to the underside of the rail (1625mm to the rail underside, from the top of the concrete base for a 1700mm high brushwood panel ). A saddle bracket and three 'Tek' screws are used to fix the saddle/rail to each post, although a single screw can be used without saddle to fix the rails. When saddles are first fitted, they can be temporarily opened out to locate full lengths of rail prior to fixing ie as an aid to installation. The panels and base are then fitted between the posts, with the rail behind the posts. The top rail is fitted to the opposite side of the fence to that for which access is required for panel installation. The brushwood panels are seated on the concrete base between the posts and the end panel wires are secured and tensioned off around the posts at each end. Next the exposed posts are covered in brush post rolls. The panels are not fixed at the top until the last, when the top roll finish is applied. Finally the brush roll-top or steel capping is fitted. Machine made brush rolls are manufactured in continuous lengths and are usually supplied in 2200mm long sections (or other lengths a multiple of 200mm to suit the job eg 1800, 2000, 2200, 2400 etc) to allow ease of shipping/handling and placement. Brush rolls can also be fitted by hand in the traditional manner from loose brush supplied in bundles or from panel pieces. - see our Installation DVD for details. Brush roll top wire-ties loop under the top rail and bind the panel and brush roll to the rail thereby securing the panel top. With the alternative 'colorbond' steel capping finish, the rail is fixed level with the post top and tek screwed directly through to the post (ie no saddle is used). The capping is then screwed to the rail covering it and the brush panel top. 'Colorbond' Capping Finish
If a timber or steel base rather than concrete or timber is used, it can also be powder-coated or painted (prior to installation). To get the maximum life out of your ausbrush panels it is advisable to follow our preferred installation methods - see our installation DVD Copyright: Ausbrush Panels, Last Updated April 2007 |
The heart of the ausbrush "inline" system, the 1700mm high brushwood panels, are 2200mm wide, have a thickness of 48mm or 58mm and weigh around 80kg each. Eight horizontal wires are used and the close wire clip spacing of around 80mm provides a durable product that is easy to trim to length and height, on-site. The 1700mm high standard panels' provide finished fencing heights of up to 1800 to 1900mm, depending on the height/type of base and top finish used. Non-standard panel sizes can also be made to order. Round section posts, 2400mm long x 50mm outside diameter x 2.3mm wall thickness galvanised steel, are set 550 to 600mm deep in the ground, with post height above ground to match the top line of the brush panels. (after allowing for the height of the concrete base i.e. usually around 1850mm above ground level for a 1700mm high panel using a 150mm high concrete base). Great care should be taken in ensuring the top of the base is dead straight, or a series of straight-line segments so that all the brushwood panel wiring will also be straight. A string line is essential. Gently sloping fence lines and bases are fine as long as the top line of the base is straight. The panels can be 'racked' or distorted to a parallelogram shape to accommodate slopes (by dropping on a hard surface or fixing to the post at one end and pulling the panel down), before tensioning off around the other post. The wide brush panels may need to be cut to fit between the posts, although factory direct orders can be made to order at the correct width for your specific job. Panel widths can vary in the inline system from around 1800mm to around 2400mm to match the post spacing. Round section posts are advised to allow easy tensioning of the brush panel wires.
