Step 1: Measure and Mark

Measure the total length of the desired fence area.
Divide evenly using standard stock-sized glass panels.
Mark the centre line of the fence at both ends and use a chalk line to create a clear reference.
Clearly mark out the widths of each glass panel and the desired gap distances between panels.
Mark spigot drilling locations 20% in from the edge of each glass panel to ensure maximum strength.

Step 2: Drilling Holes

Place the drilling template over the marked spigot locations.
Drill carefully through the paving substrate and continue drilling into the concrete footing beneath.
Vacuum out any water or debris from drilled holes to ensure a clean fit.

Step 3: Levelling Setup

Arrange timber blocks to aid in the initial levelling of the fence.
Begin levelling at the highest point using a level and plastic packers, ensuring the fence is consistent across its entire length.

Step 4: Preparing Glass Panels

Install soft-close hinges loosely onto the gate panel.
Mark spigot locations on the glass panels, again 20% in from the edges.
Secure the spigots to the panels using an Allen key, verifying each spigot is square to the glass.
Install the cover rings onto each spigot and hold them there with tape

Step 5: Panel Installation

Carefully flip glass panels vertically and insert them into pre-drilled holes.
Secure the glass temporarily with glass props and tighten the wing nuts.
Slide a bucket of water onto the platform to help secure each panel in the upright position.
Adjust the glass prop as necessary to achieve a perfectly level position.

Step 6: Gate Installation

Install the gate by attaching the backing plates of the hinges, leaving them loose initially.
Check and adjust the gate height using plastic packers for proper alignment.
Tighten the hinges securely once correct alignment is achieved.

Step 7: Final Alignment and Securing

Repeat the installation process for remaining glass panels, constantly checking heights and alignment.
Make fine adjustments using plastic packers to ensure panels are perfectly aligned.
Secure the fence temporarily with a glass clamping kit, and use a corner clamping kit and string line to maintain straight alignment.

Step 8: Grouting

Mix high early strength grout and water to a lump-free, smooth consistency.
Pour grout carefully into drilled holes using a flexi funnel.
Allow grout to cure fully, typically between 20 to 60 minutes, depending on ambient temperature.
Once grout has set, remove timber blocks and installation tools from the fence.

Step 9: Latch Installation

Install the magnetic latch by first removing the required amount of rubber gaskets based on gate glass thickness.
Align the latch with the edge of the glass and secure it firmly into place.
Install the friction latch plate on the adjacent glass panel, ensuring it lines up flush with the pull latch.
