| Determine the line of the glass and using a pencil or chalk line mark out the centerline of glass. |
|
Mark out each piece of glass (allowing for gaps between glass sheets) then mark the centre of the mini posts. Normally the mini posts are located ¼ in from end of the glass. E.g., 1400 wide glass divide 4 = 350mm. |
|
Gate measurement is 920mm in between glass panel to glass panel to glass panel. It is important to get this measurement accurate. |
|
Where you have marked the centre lines for mini posts you need to core drill a hole into the concrete 75mm dia x approx 100mm deep. No less. Core drilling can be done be concut or similar contractor, see yellow pages in your area for prices. |
|
Once the cores have been drilled and removed dry out holes. |
|
Turning the glass upside down onto a surface that will not damage the glass, bolt the mini posts to the bottom of the glass, making sure you use rubber sleeves in the holes to form a barrier between the bolt & glass and nylon packers underneath. |
|
Using a block of timber at approx the height you require under the fence place each end:
- Place the glass into the holes and secure with wedges.
- Drawings level the glass by packing under the timber blocks.
- Once you have secured and leveled this piece of glass you can start the next piece following the same process.

| To glue the mini posts. We recommend you use an epoxy resin R.180 H.180 hardener fiber glass international or similar. Please read manufactures instructions carefully. |
| |
Note: When using epoxy be very careful not to spill any, it is very hard to clean off tiles etc. Acetone may be used.
