Installing fence sheets

Some people have asked me "How do you re-install sheets quickly and Easily?" I have watched people trying and the invariably try to place the rail over the sheets in one go. This is almost impossible. This will hopefully help you next time you try to put a panel back in that was taken out for access.
a. Leave the rail on top of the posts sitting over one side. This prevents the sheets blowing over, outwards.
b. Next place two of the three sheets at each end of the bay.
c. Next carefully place the middle sheet between the two sheets you previously placed there. The overlap must be correct or the sheets will not sit flush. You may need to refer to the panel near you.
d. This takes some practice and may seem difficult at first. I would recommend doing it on a calm day, no wind. Grab the rail around the center and place the end of the rail onto the corner over the edge of the sheet, push it into the c-channel, this may require some force and manipulation. Fastening it with the screw will make it easier. Once you have done this ease the rail down slowly easing each flute of the sheet into the rail as you lower it.
e. Some manipulation may be required as you get to the edge of each sheet. The sheets may need to be moved sideways each way to allow the rail to be lowered over the sheets. The last bit is the easiest, as long as the rail is not too long.
YOU DID IT!
